I’m on my second GLE, first a 2021 and now a 2024. They are equipped the same except no head-up display this time. This option is now part of a dozen option package that costs 5k of which I didn’t want any of the other items. So I passed. I’m 6’ 7” tall with long legs, the driving position is great, and someone can sit behind me which is amazing. I chose this vehicle because it is the best of the 5 that I fit in.

Great review Nick. Have been waiting for this one. Thank you!

Thats a great extra bit of stuff when the heated seat is on,makes sense really,everyone should do it

WHAT A BEAST!

Woo.. this is niiice. Thanks for the review. Excellent, Nick!✊🏿🙏🏿

I’m GLE53 owner since 2023 and this is a really really really great SUV ! I love the big fat size and wide wheel wide body ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hello Nick i been watching your videos for a long time now and never seen anyone else explain the way you do and thank you for that.GLE is an amazing car I hope one day I drive this car looks great.

Good one, thanks Nick.

I have a 2021 GLE 350 and i love it. its the best car I've ever owned. Big car with a 2.0 Turbo 4WD and its great in everything.

Thank you for your amazing videos! I recently got the GLE450, and it is absolutely fantastic! Your videos have been super helpful in helping me uncover a bunch of cool features. Keep up the awesome work! 👍🏼

Good video again Nick looking forward to a GLA test

Great Video my friend.. Still amazing how you make these videos on your own, Incredible

Soft close for the win 🎉

Awesome SUV!!! We ordered ours in October 2023 and got it delivered in February 2024 for the 2024 GLE450. We loved everything about!!!

Great video. You stayed away from the silly fake exhaust crap and gave a real user insight! I'd like to see it do a bit of off-road in the next video😉 #MBUK

He has even acoustic glass windows I think,great review.

Hello Nick! Great content every time. Can you talk about the MBUX with ChatGPT? I have turned that on but still don’t know how to use it.

Thanks for this. I've got a GLE on order, but haven't spent more than 15 minutes in one, and this answers a few questions that have come up.

Great video. Have a 2020 GLE and it was useful to see the differences, the biggest of which is the price jump. With the agency model and no dealer incentives, I don’t see myself upgrading any time soon sadly.

I like the touchpad on my GLB but the radio randomly changes channel and I think that has to do with the touchpad. The GLE has those grab handles which can act as a buffer so it is less likely to happen. Wish I could afford this car.

Proud owner of a 2024 GLE 300d AMG Line Premium Plus, this thing is great, but my steering wheel is different, it's round and mostly black with nappa leather.

I'm entirely satisfied from my 2024 premium+ GLE300d --- big comfortable and luxurious ... waiting for next model GLS 👌

Hey man i wanted to ask u about my GLE 300 2020,it had a button on the center console and i pressed it down but now i doesnt come up,do i have to be worried about it or it isnt a big deal i can send a video if needed

Hi Nick, big fan of the channel, mainly because I'm getting my first Merc next month! Although I'm getting a diesel GLE, was wondering if you had any figures on mpg and range for the Hybrid

Hello Nick - Thank you for your awesome and informative videos.. I was wondering if you had any insight on if Mercedes will eventually update the GLE’s multimedia system to the one that is currently in GLC - specifically the vertical middle screen .. Thanks

Hello Nick, fantastic review of the 2024 GLE. Do you know what the wading depth is for the GLE by any chance?

We have the touchpad in out 2024 GLS 580 as well, and I'm sure for the same reason, as I find myself leaning forward a lot to use the touch screen (I need to learn to use the pad!). We took ours on a trip from Michigan to Florida recently, and noticed that the seat bottoms seemed a bith hard compared to other cars we've driven long distances, but otherwise it was very comfortable. You probably didn't have the GLE long enough to see if you felt the same.

Great review we.went from a glc to the gle and it was a hard choice between the 300d and 450d but there is not much in them performance wise and you save a bit on mpg with the 300d so we went for the 300d premium its truly amazimg

That's an amazing video there as always, thanks. Just wondering; speaking of the Engines @timestamp 19:00 - I've seen the 450e (a plug in hybrid)..is this version not available in the UK/Europe markets. Thanks

a few months ago i finally got my facelifted gle 53 as the suv version. the overall design is a bit old already, but i wanted kind of an old school car with a combustion engine (as far as possible). the next gen is hybrid or ev. So far, its great

Great videos thank you. The only annoying and very noisy part at least on the 2024 GLE450 US version is the rear camera deploys at 15MPH and I've been told by MBUSA it's part of the pre-safe feature. But for a 2-1/2 ton SUV it is fun to drive.

I drove the facelift model which is in the video. I drove it for 5 days, a very nice car to drive. it does feel that is aged a bit considering the technology in the new cars such as the current C and E class.

Great Video, but not everything is better after the upgrade. I had a GLE Coupe 2021 and now i have the upgraded GLE, but the dashboard and HeadUp display have a lot less possibilities to adjust. I could adjust every theme at 3 places on my dashboard and now you just have 1 theme where you can adjust just the middle. Also the HeadUp display had the possiblities to adjust at three places, but now you can not adjust anything, you just can choose a theme. I miss it, but i think and hope i'll get used to it. Also in my 2021 car the automatic parkassist worked and now i have the option, but it isn't working because off regulations. But otherwise everything you reviewed and tested is true. A great car.

I'd so love to drive GLE or even GLS. I'm currently rocking a C class, which I am very satisfied with, but I won't mind trying a bulkier car the next time, especially with some more luxurious options

removing the track pad (on other models) was a bad decision

God forbid you get your hands wet or dirty 😎. Maybe big SUV’s should have a fold out sink with a reservoir and tap to wash grubby fingers to avoid staining the luxurious interior. Awesome review as usual Nick, thank you.

Does anyone know if the wireless Apple CarPlay allows for full screen yet?

Come here for some inspiration currently have a GLC

Im a car transporter driver nd do mercs up the north east a bit,but i had a load of Volvos on on Wednesday which is our normal stuff nd im sure i seen u at a roundabout in this in Poole while i was on my way to the compound at Ling road. 😀

Great video as always..from a Gle owner

This car has an older person vibe in my opinion. Someone who would appreciate the size, the air suspension and soft closing doors and doesn’t necessarily care about the (arguably) outdated multimedia (at that price point) or overall design. With that it’s pretty funny that they’ve thrown the entertainment package and AMG options in. It kinda feels like this car needs a new model rather than a facelift at this point.

It's funny to hear you talk about how big it is when they make an even bigger one.

I have heard that HVAC switches have been removed on 2025 model. For my money I would also remove the side steps as they just muck up your trousers when getting in and out.

👌👌👌👌👍

This is similar to the 23 GLE Coupe we traded for the 24 S580. Ours had all the options as well. If you do a review on the updated Coupe that would be great. Yes, that Star on the front was HUGE. All our cars have soft close doors, which I think is a must. But honestly, the GLE Coupe we had closed so easily and rarely used unless I just pull it to close. As for a pencil, yes, it would snap it off. Google the dumb Sheriff in the US who tried to sue Mercedes over loosing a finger in his GLE with SC doors. Yeah, lost the case of course. I think that MB changed the width and travel, as the gap needed to close, you couldn't get a pinkie in there. LOVE the updated front end and lights. We have the Multibeam on all our cars, however not sure if ILS is activated in the states. I have a friend with a STAR unit and Software, thinking of turning it on. Tow Bar is wonderful, found the button on one in the showroom. We wish our S Class had the HUGE display, miss that for sure, and Heated and Cooled cup holders.....not on the S, unless you get the Chauffeur package.. I saw a GLE AMG 53 Coupe at our dealership in Emerald Green. Looks almost black in the shade, but in the sun, wow. Thank you for another great video. BTW, the E450 we ordered loaded (with Super screen) is making its way to our dealership by truck. We get to check it out even though we let go of the build having the new S Class. If you were here locally, our dealership would let you make a full video walk around and drive.

As in the video about the new GLB, you forgot to mention the new style of the tail lights.

It’s a shame that no customisation is offered in the UK, aside from paint and seat colour. Is a 2.0-litre engine adequate for such a large vehicle?

I was hoping for a new GLE coupe in 2024 before I upgraded.

I wish Mercedes wasn't forced to abandon diesel in the North American market. I would love to have a mild hybrid diesel instead of the gasoline model I have now (GLE 450). Also the abandonment of topside oil changes is a big disappointment. Just leave us the fake dipstick so we can evacuate the oil from the top please!!

Had 2018 GLE and really liked it. Tech such as auto parking was much better than the X5 I bought after it. Would have stayed with Mercedes but after using two both major Mercedes service partners in Vienna I vowed I would never buy Mercedes again. Both arrogant, from sales to service teams, and on one occasion completely botched a service that left me only with first gear. They had the car towed then and said I should call the next day. I called the next day and they couldn’t locate the car. It took them 4 hours to find it!

there is a diesel-hybrid available in germany!

I can’t go back to being without a large touchscreen.

I've had a GLE 350de for about 18 months and it's the most unreliable car I've ever had. It's had about 8 weeks in the garage. Really put me off Mercs. When it runs well though it is lovely.

Why on earth did I subscribe to this channel? A smiley cutie full of praise and wonder about a sponsored car review. Ergonomics? Net seat pockets, exposed armrest cupholders, panels that don't match, cheap plastics, but otherwise a perfect car. Really?

Real answer about mbux 2 or ntg 7 about small display and return of the button is that is the best way, more safe and more comfortable against the bis display like big tablet, that is very unsafe and very uncomfortable!!!! When you drive in highway and you have to turn on just air conditioning or change music you have to remove your eyes from the front and search the right button on display….very bad and very unsafe 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

This car is full of plastic rattling from the door panels and squeaks from the dashboard. The Mercedes Logo projector from the ORVM’s become flaking like virus infected and has to be replaced every six months.

Will there be an electric GLE Coupe?
