Your opening line says it all!.....' Right Amount Of Crazy " for even considering Euro cars that Plummit in Re-Sale & continually SHOW: " Check Engine (WALLET) Light!!!
The GLE 63 is back now for MY 2022! Orders are going in! And you forgot about the GLS 580 (which is also back for MY 2022) and represents a fifth powertrain.
In my area of DC/central VA GLEs are EVERYWHERE, like in an hour commute to work I’ll see 5-10 of them. Because of this my wife chose the F-Pace. This is still a beautiful vehicle but jeez, can’t throw a rock over here without hitting one.
The biggest issue is the rear of a GLE 350 all the way up to AMG 53 and 63s are EXACTLY the same. You can't tell from far away till you get close. Have to get a custom rear bumper/mod it to stand out which is crazy, they should change the rear for the AMGs to give some exclusivity
Great review...Just drove a Q8 today, excellent vehicle...but then the wife fell in love with SQ8 on the showroom...too big for my paycheck at 104K. Checking out the BMW X5 and this GLE 53 this week.
Alex, I am trying to summarize your thoughts around 4:22, here are my best approximations - a) The Least Mild Mild Hybrid Your Money Can Buy ® or Today's Wildest Mild Hybrid®😁
Alex, I think I've been watching you for about a decade. I love your content and I really appreciate your sensibility and your commentary. Keep it up. I am a fan!
Since the Lincoln Nautilus is just a MKX, I'm thinking that those overall legroom numbers are not correct. My wife's MKX doesn't have anywhere near the amount of legroom in the second road that this thing has. I don't know how Ford does that measurements in their cars but it really is embellishing or just downright exaggerating its numbers. My wife's MKX is still very good car though.
I really hope Mercedes Benz could update the system in GLE, that CarPlay is the worst comparing to BMW, Audi, Porsche...it’s small and not wireless. Even the new Cclass can have a better CarPlay.
Did you really think the ride was not too harsh with the trim you test drove? Some have said you need the upgrade to the active ride control to have a more comfortable ride.
I don't particularly care for the non AMG GLE, Its very comfy but the handling is sloppy when pushed. Completely different from the AMG in that dimension.
Alex, why do you all of a sudden say “stitched materials” these days instead of leather or pleather ETC when talking about the dash board and door panels like in the past. I always come to your videos to see luxury car interior material components and lately you haven’t differentiated the materials.
This does underscore the value in the new 2023 Lexus RX500h powertrain: 369 HP and 400+ lb ft of torque that gets 26 MPG vs 429 HP and 384 lb ft of torque that gets 19 MPG here I'd still get this, as it will be 1 second faster and has a better interior, but the Lexus is $15k less
these coupes depreciate like crazy...no reason not to buy a used 2 year old GLC63 for the same price of this one. if it's not a 63, it's not a real AMG.
@@elighaterrell1595 The only "handicap" I see to the EQE's is their rather short range, at least in my area. I live in an area with almost no DC chargers, in fact the closest one is 35 miles away and its.....wait for it...... a 50kw one! I have to plan my long trips carefully. To me the EQE is better suited for city/suburb rather tha road tripping. Fabulous car in all other respects. Maybe there is a plus version in the works....🤞
@@naveenthemachine I mean. Not saying it has to be perfect reliability, but i'd rather not have the car skip timing and end up in the shop for 4 months while they source some random parts from Germany. So yes, I care. I don't need perfect reliability but i'd want to trust the car.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALEX ON COLLECTING ALMOST 20K FROM HIS CHARITY TO SEND TO $ ZELENSKY $ AND UKRAINE. I WONDER IF HE DID THE SAME FOR AFGHANISTAN, SYRIA, LYBIA AND IRAQ AND SIMILAR WAR RAVAGED PLACES. DID HE? OR DID HE NOT? THE CHARITY SAID THEY ARE DOING IT FOR KIDS - HOW NOBLE
It's just so unbelievablely boring to look at. Copy and paste. Copy and paste. Plus the vents make it look like a econobox that didn't have the foglights optioned on. With LEDs you could do all sorts of stuff. Vents real or fake just look cheap because of the fake ones used on mainstream cars. And now premium and luxury cars.
