Used GLE's (and GLC's) are actually great deals if you stick to just the basic six cylinder with regular suspension. Just avoid the high end turbo charged and AMG engines and things like air ride suspension, they require lots of (expensive) maintenance as they age. I purchase a low mileage 2016 V6 GLE in 2019 and have driven the hell out of it for work (over 78k miles) and have never had to do anything but regular maintenance (oil changes, brakes and the like). And no, unlike some of the high end Mercedes (like the S Class), you don't have to take them to the dealer for every service or oil change, they are common enough that my local Valvoline changes the oil and does regular maintenance without a second thought (for $50 versus $250 at the dealer).
Jay, what a beautiful interior. The high quality materials jump out of the video. the GLE incorporates so many of the new enhancements found in Mercedes sedans. Top notch. I really like this offerring
One mistake that is not a turbocharged V6. The E350 I have has the same engine that is naturally asperated. Other than that great job! We are considering getting this car!
The reason for the nomenclature change never had anything to do with BMW. It was a company-wide change to make their nomenclature more intuitive... All SUVs begin with GL and have three letters (minus the G-Class). GLA, which they consider a crossover SUV, GLC, GLE, GLS. In speaking of classes, GLA is similar to a CLA, GLC is the C-Class of SUVs, GLE is the E-Class of SUVs, GLS is the S-Class of SUVs... hence the last letter of each model name.
Also, they don't advertise it as such, but the GLE Coupe is standardly an AMG. You will never find a GLE Coupe that does NOT have an AMG engine, which may explain the hiked MSRP if you're looking at that. Just spittin' knowledge!
The car does look dated. Elegant but certainly older then it's competitors. They are suppose to revamp the body and styling for 2018. Greatly looking forward to it. I have a feeling it will look like an extended GLC however.
I would really recommend max merc and this channel to you all so pls just see max merc videos and subscribe to him he is really putting out lot of hardwork max merc and this channel is the best
Macan is smaller. Lexus has less power and features. And the Jag has horrible reliability. I’d take the GLE over all those. The Cayenne would be a better comparison
Amazing that you showed a car seat in the back! Exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!
Awesome! I knew using that car seat would come in handy! You're actually the first person to specifically point that out :-)
I agree
my husband has this car and IDC what people say its classy and soooo COMFY.i love it!
I think it’s perfect. Classic. Awesome vehicle. That’s why I just bought one😀👏👏👏

The base GLC usually have the 2.0L turbo-4 engine, unless you get the GLC 43 AMG which has a twin-turbo inline-6

Yeah, it's nice but I still think the GLE-Class is in need of a complete redesign. There's a new BMW X5 on the way, too.
I disagree.I like physical buttons and traditional styling. This is plenty hi tech enough for me😀
One mistake that is not a turbocharged V6. The E350 I have has the same engine that is naturally asperated. Other than that great job! We are considering getting this car!
It's normally aspirated in the 3.5 liter V6 not bi-turbo. The GLE43,63,63S uses bi-turbo technology in a 3.0 V6 and 4.0 V8.
Now that it’s 2024 how has your 2016-2018 GLE held up ??
I have this vehicle with factory installed hitch and 7 pin plug. I am not sure either it is set up for electric trailer brake ??

Very informative and helpful.

wow they changed the 350 engine to a twin turbo,,,, i have the NA engine and i love it
nvm the gle350 is a NA 3.5 liter. the gle400 and gle43 amg is a 3.0 liter biturbo
A panoramic sunroof is optional in this generation of the ML/ GLE
Hello sir , please can I your contact to speak confidential about GLE ?
Nice car except the halogen headlights
Ya got to stop calling it the "M" class reference! It was the "ML" class. Never a "M" class!
Good point, but in Mercedes-Benz speak, they went by M-Class in their vehicle history, so that's what I did as well.
E. Simons damn upset much. Calm the fuck down!!!
thats what they called the ML ... M class
Hey how do you do that augmented reality-ish text and 3d box in the intro? thanks
Adobe AE
From what I heard it sounds like you don't know much about the ML class.
that is because he sucks ass at reviewing....
The car is not turbocharged
Ugh I really don't like that interior, they should do more of the new sedan design scheme
Like I said, that interior dates back several years and there's only so much that can be done with an older design.
Can you try to review the Tesla Model S?
Oh man, I've been trying. Problem is Tesla doesn't work like any other automaker in that they have few press cars. But I'll keep trying, I promise!
i got one this model 350

The original luxury SUV could also be considered the Lexus RX
I think the original luxury suv is the lexus rx
No, the Lexus RX is the original crossover.
I own this car it’s much better than the BMW
8:32 benz will lunch its first autonomous driving car around 2020 and by 2025 first autonomous self driving truck...(they already presented the truck)
Wow, we're now in 2023 & I don't think they've actually managed to do that
Peking house douglas, ga 31533 chinese restaurant the owner has same vehicle but different wheel type.
Looks so outdated, there's so much better in the market, the Jag f pace, The Lexus RX and Porsche Macan. They are all far better than this car.
Exactly! Despite the recent refresh this thing is somewhat outdated. That's why I said Mercedes really needs to get a redesign done soon.
Macan is smaller. Lexus has less power and features. And the Jag has horrible reliability. I’d take the GLE over all those. The Cayenne would be a better comparison
@@calicav84 don't forget about the Volvo XC90
@@1GQ_gent Volvo never gets any love 😂
👍
Test drive Porsche Macan
the interior looks dull
PEORIA,ILLINOIS...
outdated interior looks like the 2007 still
This guy , with a awful hair style and no shower trying to do a review on a luxury suv , what a joke, I bet he drives a Saturn.
