In this video we listed to the exhaust note, attempt a fast 0-60 time and then we test it's off-road prowess... with summer tires. Because... that's what Mercedes delivered to us.

If you launch it and it will do 0-60 in 3.6 seconds. I did it 4 times in a row and it did 3.6 seconds. It's an amazing comfortable SUV and a beast when you push it. It's worth every single dollar.

@racebannon2332 5 ай бұрын

I believe it’s the best performance SUV in the segment. I do 3.4 seconds routinely 0-60. It’s truly amazing

Actually people buy AMGs. More than 132000 AMGs were sold in 2019. That's not"no one will own". And 63s is not the average "most expensive models". The top end AMGs are so different from those base models that 50-60% parts are different. Engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, infotainment, seats, steering wheel. Everything is different.

FYI. Owner's Manual pdf: pg. 6 / #15. Control Panel: (w/Off Road Package below hand rest) toggle/switch - Manual Gear Shifting, Individual Wheel Control, Airmatic/E-Body, ESP, DSR). DSR can be set in 1 MPH increments. I think a version of the Owner's Manual with the same or similar information can be found in the "Media Display" of recent model MBs. I am OCD regarding unanswered questions. I enjoyed your review and test drive. Paying it forward.

As always, great video. This car took the off-road challenge without breaking a sweat with summer tires!!! Subaru, take notice. The onyx struggled a bit for the same challenge with all season tires and usage of x mode 1 and 2 while the Mercedes didn't. Of course this is the vehicle for the wealthy. With that said, I would stick with subaru because it is subaru!! I don't have to baby my ascent or if I get the onyx or the wrx sti. I wished the forester had XT with the 2.4l turbo engine. Overall great video but I will ask you to please test the 2020 ascent limited or touring on this same challenge road. Please, so my kids can leave me alone because they don't think the ascent can beat that challenge compared to the onyx. Thanks

I always find it funny when people think the ML/GLE can not go off road. They have always been good off road. During development, Mercedes takes and tests the GLE on the same off road course that they test the G Wagon on. So it always struck me that people thought it could not. It can it is just that people don't. These cars are engineered to the nth degree. You must search videos of these cars off road. Usually it will be older MLs/GLEs since no one is taking their new ones off road. Even the GLS is very capable off road. The off road mode wasn't there for just gravel. When the German's added the off road mode they meant more than that and they do well on normal road tyres because that is how they test it during development. That is why with actual off road tyres they become crazy capable even more.
