    Awesome review! Thanks for this.
    I'd get this over most other high performance SUVs. Merc has really up'd their game. Interior is top notch, and they have found a nice blend between driving dynamics and luxury.
    On a side note, its impressive to see a sub 4.0 seconds 0-60 time. that's actually incredible for these massive SUVs. amazing times we live in (excl. corona, and all the bad crap happening around us).
    stay safe everyone!

    @officesuperhero9611 4 роки тому +2

    Really good review. I just bought the 2020 GLE 450 (not the AMG version). I also added about $25,000 worth of options. I was surprised to hear you say this did not have heads up display? Mine has it. It’s optional but your version was $115,000 and didn’t include it? Mercedes is all about the options. The options on the GLE can easily cost as much as a midsize sedan.

  • @elliottmanning4116
    @elliottmanning4116 4 роки тому +5

    I’m pretty sure you can get optional power reclining second row seats that adjusts back and forth, which is apart of another option package. 😅

    • @stevehammes

    the comments about ride quality and road noise are deal breakers. I just can't for the life of me understand why Mercedes doesn't make the comfort mode comfortable. It's possible, but they just don't do it.

    In 3 years, this vehicle will only be worth about $60k. Only way this thing makes sense is lease for 3 years and give it back before all the really expensive repairs kick in once the warranty is close to expiring.

      You are horribly wrong.
      Service is not cheap but the reliability
      is probably one of the best daily drivable fun SUV on the market. I prefer the 5.5L Bi Turbo. In my opinion it just sounds better. But who can argue with the technology and styling of the new Body Style. It’s called a staple and it will be copied by every manufacturer for the next 10 years.

    What Mercedes will do is sell u a very expensive model. You will thing, GREAT, BIG PRICE, SJOULD COME WITH MANY OPTIONS! Well that is not the case as typical German brands will offer you a HUGE amount of options even if you have a 100,00 dollar car.
