2024 Mercedes GLE 450: Is This The GLE Sweet Spot? 

The exterior and interior of this GLE is simply fantastic.

We bought a '23 450 three months ago. We chose the 450 because we both tend to drive heavy-footed and the 350 felt strained. We also frequently drive through mountains and I need to be able to pass going uphill. If you aren't a speed demon the 350 is fine- surprisingly powered. Some things I've noted: infotainment isn't the best, frustrating the first 1-2 months, Apple play is meh, and we have all the safety features turned off that you can turn off. The adaptive cruise brakes hard -throw you forward hard, if someone changes lanes 4 car lengths in front of you or going around a bend, can't stand it and so now I can't use cruise control. Would prefer much less interface with the screen and way more buttons, it's fingerprint city, distracting, and a slow way to change settings. My opinion is just because we have the technology doesn't mean we should. The suv drives smooth, we both frequently find ourselves driving 15-20 mph faster than what we thought we were doing - thankfully no tickets yet. It definitely feels luxurious inside and is very comfortable. For myself I am looking at a Cayenne but I may order it so I can forego the options I don't care for. That's my other complaint with auto manufacturers - packages add things like 22" wheels, panoramic roofs, and more tech that not all people want.

If I had the money, I'd buy this today. Perfect color, perfect build. This is much better than the 350 and I don't need and AMG. I am disappointed that the dealer uses stock photos.

How does the lane keep work. Does it keep you centered? I have heard mixed reviews...

Just traded my 2016 GLE350 for a 2023 GLE350. Was disappointed in the power decrease from the previous generation, but couldn't justify the price increase for the 450 over the 350. Didn't even drive the 450 so as to not tempt myself, hahaha.

Alpine grey looks like grey primer . Does this SUV have air ride suspension . ?

Nice interior and exterior ❤

How about reviewing the 450 without the AMG stuff added and without the air suspension?

Any 2024 GLS video coming?

What about the 450e?

Eh, since you know so many previous older versions of the GLE, it's a pity that you didn't describe the differences and improvements that Mercedes made in this refreshed version compared to the models before the update. And there are probably several hundred of them.

Mine shows up any day now. We dont buy these to drive them more than 50K miles. We are looking to upgrade out of them at 50K so maintenance is not a thing.

Gorgeous car- have always wanted a Mercedes, but just can't get past the maintenance costs, depreciation, and reliability issues. Guess I'll stick with my Lexus. Great review.

Column shifter 😂 that was unexpected

Get ahold of the new CLE 53 somehow for a review!

Heads up display???

A maybach s class just chillin in the back 👀

Great Mercedes 2024 GLE 450

Great video, I was very impressed with thiis SUV. But who puts $95K in a GLE? Might as well pay a few extra bucks and get a GLS. That said, the GLE450 is a great looking ride. The only problems I have with Mercedes is they moved the gear shift to the column. Just like my grandfathers 57 Chevy. They certainly have room for a console gear shifter but chose to put that stupid mouse (or whatever the hell it is) there instead. Lastly, I've had 2 Mercedes vehicles in the past but I always lease. Given Mercedes reliability issues I would NEVER outright purchase without an extended warranty. Besides, unless you are going to keep the car for 7-10 years, leasing is cheaper.

Nice Mercedes GLE car❤❤❤

bro, u had 4k video before, now back to 1080p? please make it at least 2k, I can see the difference on my phones and monitors

If I ever got a MB I'd lease it. My friends wife had a 2021 model year, technically it came out in 2020, GLE and well...9 recalls in 2021 and 4 in 2022,! So much for “The Best or Nothing." She traded it in right before that 3rd 2022 recall, and got a 2022 MDX Advanced trim. Not as plush...but 0 issues a little under 1 year into ownership.

Would be cool to see a GLE 580 review if you can find one!

My car ❤

Grate ❤

Buteful car

ben hardy punch 20miles to 40 miles is enough ) name speaks for itself. ben softly... gently toucher.. humm buzzer )

If you can lease this car I would get it. It's beautiful. Just don't wanna deal with the maintenance costs after 50K miles

The 2024 tail light signature is a step back, looks like kaka! Also the DRLs in the headlights look very plain, not sure why they ruined the look. My 2020 DRLs and tail light signature looks much better! Grill looks nice though.

This color is gorgeous. Forget the 350, the 450 I6 is easily the better model.

Great review as always. But 95k for an ML is bit too much.

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 4MATIC 3.0L Turbocharged Inline-6 Electric 9-Speed Automatic AMG Line!

****Seufz, deutsche Autos..❤🇩🇪

Yikes 95k and no AMG engine, I’ll pass, I rather have a GLS for that price at least I get a 3rd row and more space

Nice but the x5 is sexier more sporty and better looking in my opinion

You always want to lease german cars, because while they’re the best when they work, they’re horrible when they break. If you lease you get to drive it before it breaks, and it’s in warranty! The GLE has a gorgeous interior, but the exterior looks like a Chevy Blazer, not to mention the BMW X5 is faster, SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, better MPG, and definitely looks better.

❤😂🎉😅😊😊😅🎉😂❤Excellent

This doesn’t deserve 95k, WTF?!?

hybrid is better

100k for ML ? No thanks

95K+ and not even an AMG engine? No, thanks. I’d rather customize my own.

I love mercedes, I really do. But the redundent emblem on the hood just kills me. WHY WHY! So freaking stupid. Such a beautiful suv otherwise, the handle bars on front console are also retarded design but I can tolerate that. It's just the double emblems, oh man

This guy talks too fast

talk slower - what's the rush??? can't understand you

this vehicles are piles of junk.
