It funny to me that all the car enthusiast all seem to be perplexed as to why a person would buy a coupe SUV. I’m looking at one and I have two friends that have them and our sentiments are… we are generally single people or couples who like the ride height, like that there is more space (including more than a sedan), but we simply do not need all of the truck space that the traditional SUV provides, and we’re interested in a sportier looking SUV. So maybe we are a niche audience, but the coupes are selling so then again maybe we’re not so niche 😆

@ShinyOwen 2 года назад

Looks like you guys got the “mature individual” spec to review. I enjoy the 🇨🇦 content and pronunciation, with kudos for filming on an ugly later winter day. As for a suv coupe, they’re not my thing but if someone wants to pay that much for a less functional vehicle, I’d say “You do you.”

@TD1237 2 года назад

Kinda like how people pay millions for a Ferrari instead of a Kia, which is technically more functional. Cus the Ferrari is better for their needs. Coupe SUVs don't look like generic chunks of metal and actually look good. Obviously it's subjective but a little less space while still being an SUV with 4 seats still makes it very practical as a vehicle *and* the added style makes it well worth it for those who are a fan.

Some people buy SUVs not because they need more space but just because the sitting position. Some people just like to sit higher and being able to get in/out the car more comfortably.

@lirimbeluli4508 2 года назад

Still not sold on “coupe” suvs especially not any MB ones. It’s the size and price of a real suv with much less of the space, essentially a lifted hatch back or lifted coupe sedan. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t help but think it’s just a vehicle for someone who doesn’t need an suv but wants to appear like they need or can afford a big car

@TD1237 2 года назад

For me it's because German sedans have become really generic over the years (I guess it depends on where you live tho) and while I'd take a sports car ideally, an SUV is more practical. But then again it looks kinda meh. But the coupe-SUV look makes it look sporty and elegant but it retains *most* of the practicality. I know some think they look ugly but they look great to me. 😄

@devidodge 2 года назад

Yeah someone like me. It definitely has a level of road presence that most other cars don't have. Inc the SUV versions. Its a beast!

@aquaphoenixx 2 года назад

We have the original X6 a 2009 model year. I am a single guy 36 and my mother and father are in their mid to late 60s In the back people of 5 11 height will be fine. We live in a country with bad roads and snow fall. The xDrive all wheel drive system and the 20cm (8 inch) ground clearance make a difference. The trunk is only 20liters less than the X5 So practicality wise the X6 is 98% of the X5 while being more rare and beautiful. The beautiful part is personal preference. I actually like that a lot of people hate it. The more important thing is that I love it.

@postalpancho 2 года назад

I’ve owned a GLE 350 for a few months now and I love this vehicle. I absolutely have no clue why anyone would pay more for the coupe version, it makes absolutely no sense. If you don’t think the GLE in fulll suv form looks good then get more options. I got AMG wheels and sport trim. Looks absolutely beautiful and has a thick athletic presence. Sitting next to an x5 it is no question the Mercedes’ is the better looking car. The suspension is super soft in my GLE, almost too soft for my liking to be honest. I just need to make my own review.

@spxvfx 2 года назад

I have the gle53 coupe, I have a sienna already so I don't care about space, the trunk space is more than enough for me, there are plenty of space for second row and can fit a car seat easily (the x6 doesn't offer as much second row space). the reason I get this car is I want some power and ground clearance and some style so I don't look like 45+. No complains so far, except some annoying clicking nosie coming from the seat belt adjustment area.
