Happy Monday guys! Hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We're kicking off the week with finally posting the full review on the revised 2024 GLE 450! We hope to get our hands on the refreshed BMW X5 later this year as well! Lots of great videos to be posted this week so stay tuned! :D

This month marks 10 years since I started following the channel. I’ll admit I don’t watch your videos quite as much as I use to but I’ve watched a few of your older videos from 10+ years ago to see just how far you guys have come in that time. Keep up the great work! Almost to a million subs

I cannot understand how you can just free flow and rattle off detail and specific information about this car and you dont even need to catchbyour breath. You just keep going, that is admirable and incredible how you can retain and disseminate information as such pace and volume. You have a gift.

My dream SUV 😍🔥

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!

Nice job. Would love to see a new GLC review as well.

One of the best sounding door thunks ever.

Beautiful Benz. Lease vehicle all the way.

Beautiful car. Smooth ride. If you can afford it go for it. If you can’t keep scrolling. Just saying …..

Hi Sofian you always look good n clean, this car is owesome i love it very much

First. Love this SUV. GREAT REVIEW.

Can you do a review on the 2024 GLE350 😊

I believe the 2nd row seat isn't one-touch "return to position" so that it doesn't crush a third row occupant. Safety feature. That is why rear windows are not always one-touch up: an occupant or pet could be injured.

Great job with my dream Mercedes Sofyan.

Hi Mechanical Engineer German American here. I love the fact that I get the same Inline 6 375 HP as the GLS but I like that the 4Matic is $70,000 new. Question the research's says you get 18/26 MPG combined 22 city/highway is that about correct? It seems right became you get about 20-21 MPG for the GLS. You LOSE on SPEED vs the BMW but if you go with the 450 4 matic, what you lose in some speed, you gain in luxury and quiet ride. I like actually the all weather wheels so 19 might be the way to go but 20 is fine. If you want a sportier Mid Sized Sedan then you might want to look at the Audi Q7 or the BMWX 5 series.

Nice car

“If you can spare the extra $9000 dollars” 😢

Mercedes can do no wrong in my eyes. Marc is worth every penny. As always, great video !

No window-sun-shade for rear seats?

I am not sure why this video review mentioned drag racing other vehicles with a GLE 450, owners who can legitimately afford a mid sized SUV at this price tag aren't the type of people who will be interested in doing that. They are buying a Mercedes GLE 450 because: 1. The quite interior, allowing for quality time with their family. 2. The technology, smooth and nicely integrated, like their life and career. 3. Safety. Protecting themselves and their family is priority no. 1. 4. Easy to drive in all sorts of conditions. The GLE 450 is surprisingly nimble and its heavy weight offers a lot confidence when road conditions suddenly changed. In a sudden snow or rain storm, the GLE affords a lot of safety and comfort to the driver and passengers. Its software and electronics respond extremely fast and well to changes in road conditions. 5. Comfort. The seats are very nice, great for those long road trips with the family. 6. Status symbol. This is a king suburban cruiser. Tech and Finance professionals who moved away from big cities to the suburbs find it a great vehicle with its subtle and understated hint of prosperity, defining who they are. It it no surprise that year 2021 was when the GLE 450 sold so well, it was also when the tech/finance exodus from big cities to suburbs happened.

NICEEE!!! POGGG!!!

Seems like they did a good job with this one.

I missed the S class Mercedes from the 80s. The doors weighed like 100 pounds and it was a gigantic thud when you closed them.

YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, 29/08/2023

What’s the difference between GLE 350 and GLE 450?

Everyone so worried about speed in the comments trust me when I say you don’t even want to drive crazy in these cars. They’re just extremely comfortable

I'm glad this review is here. I've been trying to convince my dad to go for the GLE over the GV80, X5, CX-90, and Q7. He wants top notch luxury as opposed to "sportiness" for his SUV, and I'm convinced that the GLE and GV80 has that in spades.

People buying this SUV will not race or push it very hard.....

The BMW X5 actually starts at a higher price, $65k to start, but there is no 4-banger X5. The X5 starts with 375 HP, just like this 450, so it's about $5k less than the Benz

I currently lease a GLE53. It’s a 2021 Model which we custom build late 2020 The base price was 68,000 and we added about 12k in upgrades THIS VEHICLE you are reviewing is now 69,500 I believe it is. More expensive than my GLE53 was 3 years ago. Mercedes changed the base price of the 53 from 68,000 to 86,000. An 18,000 increase. It’s a fkn joke The payments for a GLE450 are now higher than the payments for my car due to higher price and higher interest rates The lease is for business purposes and now me and my wife will buy the GLE53 rather than try to lease another one like we normally would I was so close to going to Genesis and getting a high spec GV80 for about 80k and lower my payments but being able to buy the 53 for 50k according to the lease agreement is a bargain because the car is selling for 62-65k used with the milage we have Oh and I hate those new wheels. They are ugly. They are going back to the old design of the older mid sized Mercedes SUV. The multi spoke design which had like 20 spokes was so much better

Nice review as always. And very timely for me. I have 15 year old ML350 which has been fairly reliable. No really major issues. I may stay with Mercedes... without a lot of these options. More in to functionality.

I love this vehicle, less the third row

Noticed that there was no mention of the digital rearview mirror. Probably because it doesn't exist.

For some reason u r more impressed with gls450 even though it weighs heavier? Can you explain that?

I like the glee. It gives me GLE.

This Shit is Straight🔥 Keep doing your thing sofran

i got the 2023 version / hybdid electric wondering what to get in 3 years from now

I like the 2023 headlights better than the 2024

Me gusta mercedes benz para Dominica

Why is there no leather on the horn part of the steering wheel?

Yes, skip those tacky running boards. Mercedes needs to implement a digital key function. And I’m 🤯 at how expensive a well equipped GLE 450 has become. And what happened to the Burmester 3D sound system in the GLEs?

Can anyone tell me if the GLE450 comes with rear window sun shades?

My mom and Grandma both got a GLE and my mom’s came with the running boards which is good for kids but my grandma thought her car looked empty so she got them installed

Somebody school me please. Does the GLE also come with turbo diesel also or only turbocharged.

This should be the BASE model, not the bogus 255 hp turboshitted 4 cyl

sacond row you have to hold a button, for safety, if accidentally not press yours legs, or legs other person. if it was automatic children, or adults could forget that it folding back and press they legs or something else especially for children. when you do it manually you can immediately stop the seats.

had the macciato leather in glc,,, disaster with 2 kids… gle went with black non leather, much nicer in sweden (too cold leather when its cold out)

I don't need the 3rd row seats. If you need them, I would have bought a mini van.

5.4 sec to 60 ml/h it is rocket.

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 4MATIC AMG Line Pinnacle Night Package!

Excellent work Carnversations.. haki I'm now reconsidering an option for purchasing a zero millage coz inaonekana KAFENGO is actually from Japan.

Cute short

In 4 years, the price will drop by 50%. Terrible depreciation, terrible longevity, and terrible on the wallet to repair. They’re nice when they’re new though.

also this stering wheel seems awkward compared to the rest of the interior

I don’t even look at other car reviewers.. they’re not as informative and they can’t draw the viewers in like your production IMHO.

How does this compare to X5?

Hard Plastic lower door panels not lined just hard plastic surprises me on Pinnicle Trim @ $94K ALmost $100K Seriously

I've test driven the GLE 450e, GV80, x5 idrive50e, Volvo XC90 recharge, and RX450h+. Mercedes offers the $7,500 lease credit and dealer contribution to cover 1st payment.Most models I've found are ~$81k so the capitalized cost is around $74k. That makes it equal to the GV80 (which doesn't come in a plugin) and $6k more than the BMW I built, $6k more than the RX450 and $4k more than Volvo (less l!7,500 lease credit).BMW doesn't offer the lease credit. I would like to see more discussion in the reviews around warranty, reliability, and cost of ownership. 0-60 is not a buying criteria and I would never notice the difference between 5.7 and 6.5 seconds. When driving colleagues and kids, I'm not racing a mid-size luxury SUV. The GLE interior was my favorite, and the 2nd row space sets it apart. The Lexus is the safe purchase but the exterior wasn't my favorite design. BMW was fun to drive but 2nd row was small and you can't get to your phone behind drinks in the cup holders. Hated the Genesis infotainment but it was beautiful. Volvo needs a new infotainment and redesign of the tiny cup holders. Pros and Cons for every choice!

I don't understand the biasness for Leather, the faux leather is not just as good but better...and better for environment and our four legged friends.

Probably my favorite suv with the x5 gv80 or aviator

Anyone have it? About to do a 24 month lease. Let me know if I’ll regret it! I’m in Miami

No reason for the door panels to be hard plastic at it’s price point. BMW all day

Lexus may be more reliable but they can’t and don’t build elegant vehicles like Mercedes

🎉mr my Tesla

Bro, it's not fully revised 🤦🏻‍♂️

This vehicle is amazing but that steering wheel with the touch controls is horrible.

Those air vents look like my moms 96 Nissan quest minivan 😂

That MPG is abysmal. That’s a bummer.

25K overpriced

This generation always looked like a hyundai.

I used to be obsessed with woodgrain interiors when I was younger…now I refuse to drive a car with wood, because it feels so old to me.

👍

this one can't dance bounce?

I like the older version. It looked more aggressive. Idk, this just doesn’t do it for me

I would like you to #review two giants 2023/2024 #Cadillac #Escalade and #Range #Rover #LWB #SE #seven #seaters I really looking for a best reviewer review to help me move forward with one of it. 🤞

😅

Lease only, right? The GLE is always in the top 5 least reliable.

Way too expensive!

2024?? Looks like a 2014, VERY old fashions looking compared to any 2024 BMW X5, Audi SQ5/7, or even Genesis GV70. But the NEW steering wheel, now that is AMAZING...LOL!!! Love your reviews Sofyan, and you know sport SUVs, this is NOT it. Tell it like it is, Mercedes is way behind in design in the SUV lineup. Really glad I got rid of mine and got the X7 M50i.

BMW still blows this out of the water in every way including materials quality

Like the 2022 gle so much better

Drove one with 57,000 miles today it felt like it was going to collapse these things are lease only 😅

BMW X5 all the way. Cheaper, faster, better MPG, looks better from the exterior, and offers 3 year complementary maintenance. And from my own experience and based off of CR’s testing - new BMW models, especially the G05 X5 are WAY more reliable than any of Mercedes current products. My family has had numerous Mercedes cars, and while they’re luxurious, at this price point they’re obsolete.

Buying this soon for my wife

Performance is unacceptable for that price level.

Buy a used AWD CRV and use the savings to visit Japan

Mercedes invented this segment? I think not...Lexus RX did

This is not really a review. Where is the critique? Mouse pads are a joke when your driving in traffic or down the highway. Needs a mouse wheel they used to have before 2020. Drinks block access to the cel phone area. Really poorly designed center console. And in the screen, should have quick access between FM, AM, Sirius and Apple Play.

No vented 2nd row seats and a tortuous 3rd row. Overpriced prestige.

This thing in 350 form is terrible. It's the brand that sells it vs the actual quality of what you're getting. You need the air suspension

Next time, just play nice music and don't talk.

Why are you lying that Mercedes is a luxury SUV? It's a premium brand, not a luxury one.

first lol 😂

Not worth 80k

They need to square this vehicle off. It’s too soft looking and nothing really exciting about this SUV.

The assumption that BMW will automatically will in a quarter mile is funny. Even the new M740i with their 6cylinder engine is slower than the S500 with its 6cylinder

Meh

It's stupidly overpriced. At $94k I can't believe Mercedes still has a plastic steering wheel and plastic on the doors. The exterior design looks almost identical to the ML version - boring. I leased 2 ML's but it just didn't make any sense to lease the GLE with the ridiculous price increases. I went American and bought a 2024 Grand Cherokee Summit for $67k loaded - air suspension, night vision, semi autonomous driver assist, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, 4 zone climate control, rear seat sun screen, leather doors and steering wheel and throughout, real wood trim, Napa leather seats .... its just a beautiful luxury SUV. It even have off road chops (of course it's a Jeep). You can get it with a hybrid motor that has 360 hp and 390 lb torque. Take a look at the Grand Cherokee Summit or Summit Reserve before buying an overpriced German SUV. Yeah it doesn't have the Mercedes hood ornament but you will look smarter driving the Summit.

way to fast talking speed to actually take in what you are describing - disappointed with this video, looking for a better one
