Zack, I discovered your channel a month ago , and being a non car lover who is immigrating to Canada end of this year from Pakistan (where we only get Honda Civics, Toyota Corollas or Hatchback Suzukis manufactured locally with import protection duties) I am hooked. Your reviews on the Honda Civic, HRV and Mazda CX-3 were terrific and made me want to buy these cars after I'm done with my MBA at Schulich. You have won over a fan from Pakistan. Stay blessed. Cheers. Faizan
Wow. Im seeing lot of negative and hating towards MB here. I wonder why so much hating, negativity towards MB? I love my Mercedes Benz SUV. People have a tendency to say a lot of negative things about stuff when they can't afford to buy them. Bring on the hatters. Hatters gonna hate.
I love mine, too. I got the E350 after driving them both. I felt I'd enjoy driving a car more than another SUV. I have no complains, but I think I would've loved having the GLE as well.
I drive GLE250d (AMG Trim) in Malaysia. It gives me an average of 18 km/liter on highway and city combined. Although it is only 4 cylinder, 2.1 liter turbo diesel and noisy engine, it is kinda enough as i don't do towing or carry heavy loads with the GLE. The best is, it costs CAD 0.65 per liter of diesel in Malaysia.
I have GLE 400 4 MATIC and it ways better than Q7 and F pace 3.0.. they have also night vision and by looking on the screen you can drive through that like MI6 MOVIES. They have a lot of gadgets.. its too good!!
XLNT review but please quote mileage stats in MPG as well as metric. I have a 2018 GLE350 that I want to trade for a 400 for the power and 9spd. Do you think that's sensible or a waste?
Great review, pretty wife(Remind me of Taylor Dayne, which I'm sure she has heard before). I truly like/prefer the 2020 GLC300. For the obvious/better fuel economy.
Boy are you lost in the diesel bias :):) in every review where there is a diesel engine option. I know it is greener but especially with a vehicle like this the people buying are unlikely to worry about the fuel economy. Great reviews would like to hear more about some of the safety equipment like pedestrian detection etc. Lol everyone's a critic
"but almost entirely, i drove it in sport mode". Well yeah, if you drove it in sport mode all the time, the car doesn't go into the top overdrive gears so the RPM is always higher, thus worse fuel economy.
I was just look at MB canadian site and there is no 350d. Poof! There all gone. They speak about it on the site but try and build one there is no choice. Any ideas as to what is going on?
No more diesels in standard car market for MB, you will only find them in the commercial segment (thus is why the sprinter and metris are tagged as commercial vehicles) , I think this is due to the harsh emissions requirements now.
With all that 43 AMG models they will flood the market with "AMG models" and ruin the appeal and exclusivity of that sub-brand. I think that is quite stupid marketing!
is it possible to put a goat and its uncle in the back while having great comfort and speed ? if not im going with an oldsmobile with a bugatti engine .
Does it look any worse than any of the true un competition? The coupé looks weird to me, but I'm here because i enjoy the Grand Cherokee and GLE's proper SUV build. Nothing flashy, just professional. No one will laugh at you for picking them up in either. Aside from soccer mom jokes.
Just get a Grand Cherokee at that point. The base model makes the GLE look a bit full of itself (at least when parked next to one another). That cross-class smugness won't last long, though. FCA got lucky with the Grand Cherokee. I doubt their next iteration will appeal in the same way.
I sure wish Mercedes would return to the 2012-2016 era where cars had sensible button, efficient V6 engines, and an overall feel of quality that is ABSOLUTELY ABANDONED on their 2020-current models!!! My god, I Turo’d a GLB for the first time this week and the nasty CVt transmission spent the first 3 seconds of each pull away just spooling before any power at all would move it forward (nasty for bumper to bumper traffic or any scenario where you need to pull out in front quickly) and the WORST OF ALL I had to refill the gas and found the tank to actually be on the LEFT SIDE… literally NOTHING that Mercedes could do to tell me without shame that I’m driving an old Dodge Neon frame/component than to put that gas lid on the opposite side of every other Merced before it!! I have taken SO MUCH PRIDE knowing that gorgeous and capable ML and GLEs are coming out of real American manufacturing plants (in Alabama, not Canada or Mexico) and then Mercedes decided to cut them cost REAL HARD with this piece of shit ford focus GLB. Dear God if you are older than 22 and you’d like a capable Mercedes PLEASE buy a used one from 2012-2016 and not these latest pieces of shiiiiiiit.
It's not really comparable when you consider the chassis/platform differences. Mercedes didn't opt follow the trend of soft SUV's. I like the Q7, but it has joined the many SUV's built on a modified sedan platform. Of course the car based SUV's will be more enjoyable, and perform better on the asphalt, they're almost tall station wagons at this point. I don't mean to sound like I'm knocking the Q7 or the XC90. You can make the beefy GLE handle a bit better, you can make the Q7 handle some mild off road situations with air suspension and electronics, but neither will escape their true beginnings.
I have this car and absolutely love it!

Thank you!
@Motormouth... between gle 350 and 450 which one have a better fuel economy

Vitamin- P just my words 👍

Black gle looks better than white one. Black is more class.
Very good review.
I'm between this GLE and the Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ.
It's also a good opportunity to make a refreshed review for the Tahoe!
Great review as always! Enjoyed the clip with your family in the car. Best wishes to you and your family.
Very nice family you got there! Loved their involvement in this video. Btw heard that Drake playing in the background ha ha!
Grate video thanks.But please could you tell me why the cars have diferent names.Is 43 amg in USA and is the same car GLE 450 in Canada?

Hi Mr Spencer.
Rafidy from Kuala Lumpur.
Very good videos.
You drove this GLE while wearing Porsche Tshirt.
He he he he.
Would love to see an E class Review. It is a very beautiful car
great review!
I have GLE 400 4 MATIC and it ways better than Q7 and F pace 3.0.. they have also night vision and by looking on the screen you can drive through that like MI6 MOVIES. They have a lot of gadgets.. its too good!!

I love that cognac interior color! What is the official name of that color?
Nice review :).
You've got another Subscriber. Review is good but the real thing is family also reviewed, kind of new.
Great review, pretty wife(Remind me of Taylor Dayne, which I'm sure she has heard before). I truly like/prefer the 2020 GLC300. For the obvious/better fuel economy.
Great! Would you please do a review for E63 S AMG or the GLE63 S SUV version? Thank you!
Did you ever do any of the ML series reviews?
Enjoyed the video!
my dad just got the 63 S. Great car : )
As always good review.
Please do the review on a 2016 BMW X5 or X6 with those super massive "fat" 20 inch tires!! Such a monster of a vehicle.
Great review!!!
I envy you guys for having these "low" price tags, nice review btw
That's my future vehicle! 👽
Nice report !!!😃
you forgot to turn off the interior lights!
I see that
BMW's naming of its lineup has always been consistent and easy whereas the MB has tried time and time again to complicate things.
Beautiful exterior colour
Beautiful vehicle
How does this compare with Jaguar F Pace and X5?
Boy are you lost in the diesel bias :):) in every review where there is a diesel engine option.

Great review
Why do some of them have the touch pad(like this one) and others don't? What is the difference ?
We just bought it and quite enjoy it. However it’s comfort is not as good as our Volvo XC70 wagon.
nice porsche shirt!
I love this car
BMW X5 Review?
Peak Mercedes suv
will u do a video on must have options?
nice color
I bought this car I love it
How’s the maintenance for this anybody knows ?
I like his Porsche shirt
prices in usd or cad
"but almost entirely, i drove it in sport mode". Well yeah, if you drove it in sport mode all the time, the car doesn't go into the top overdrive gears so the RPM is always higher, thus worse fuel economy.
Beautiful
Wife or car?
+Zi Ye Both
Same here my girlfriend hates it when I put my m6 in a sport mode .
dream car or the e class
I was just look at MB canadian site and there is no 350d. Poof! There all gone. They speak about it on the site but try and build one there is no choice. Any ideas as to what is going on?

It looks really nice 👍 but cost too much money to own one.
Brandon Yen haha it's not, well you do not live in Denmark, that car cost around 200.000 dollars 😀 i am waiting for mine 350, will get it in february
I have a Mercedes Benz SUV 2018
and you're right, they changed the name to AMG GLE43
when was changed the name.There are cars with the name 43 amg produced in 2018 and 19.....
With all that 43 AMG models they will flood the market with "AMG models" and ruin the appeal and exclusivity of that sub-brand. I think that is quite stupid marketing!
actuelly I cant undestand what is the diference between 43 amg and 450.As I see there is no diference but they have diferent names.....
what's your watch with the nato strap?
Rolex Sea Dweller
ouuuuuuuu
is it possible to put a goat and its uncle in the back while having great comfort and speed ? if not im going with an oldsmobile with a bugatti engine .
can't help yourself. have to scare the wifi
There is nothing better than driving a MB.
do u live in victoria bc?
I hate the fact that the Gle400 has the same un-tuned engine, which has similar-ish performance, but exhaust is terrible... Unlike bmw x5 35i
Why do they call it midsize? It’s huge.
Because GLS i full size
damn.... drinks gas!
Have the 350D and I wanna say the gearbox is absolutely a failure
that tacky infotainment screen tho
The coupe is absolutely beautiful, the back of this one looks awful!
Does it look any worse than any of the true un competition? The coupé looks weird to me, but I'm here because i enjoy the Grand Cherokee and GLE's proper SUV build. Nothing flashy, just professional. No one will laugh at you for picking them up in either. Aside from soccer mom jokes.
I still think the BMW X5 of the same model year is a more luxurious vehicle. The interior of the GLE as it appears in this video looks cheap.
Just get a Grand Cherokee at that point. The base model makes the GLE look a bit full of itself (at least when parked next to one another). That cross-class smugness won't last long, though. FCA got lucky with the Grand Cherokee. I doubt their next iteration will appeal in the same way.
real Canadian chump!

0:32 fishy paint job on a $90g car.
it looks like a Chevy equinox if you ignore the Mercedes badge in the front bumper. so who copied who?
The naming conventions are just silly. GLE, GLC Coupe, GLA ugh. Stupid.
😂 scary
That paint job looks awful
i hate this blackberry numbered buttons and ipad screen >>> all dust will be behind this ipad !!!
only those two issues that keep me from buying this car other than that the car is excellent
FD aziz what about the glc? That's the most updated SUV from Mercedes Benz
Audi Q7 wins in this segment.
It's not really comparable when you consider the chassis/platform differences. Mercedes didn't opt follow the trend of soft SUV's.

You can make the beefy GLE handle a bit better, you can make the Q7 handle some mild off road situations with air suspension and electronics, but neither will escape their true beginnings.
The Q7 is a full size, the GLS would be in its comparable segment.
