Great and honest review

I figured at 90k, it would have adjustable suspension. That's crazy Merc would do that.

Love them SO much! 🏆

Crazy how it makes it to 60 @ 5.7 seconds, and this is the slowest 🤯 SUV’s are crazy now!!

Im glad they kept this interior and didnt do that iPad set up on the gle. I really think they shouldve continued this dash on other models too

Beauuutiful spec, though fewer options would make it a better value. Great points, Steve!

Great review Steve! I actually just drove the GLE450e on Friday. I first drove a normal E class sedan. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something just felt a little more "volume seller" in the GLE vs the E class sedan. It just seemed less special and more appliance-like. Curious if you got those vibes too. Love your videos!

Great Review. Surprised to hear how efficient this GLE was.

I'm thinking the new GLC is a better "bargain." Great review.

Steve I just noticed that your voice would work so well with “how it’s made” videos 😅

Nice review Steve, I hear Mercedes is having trouble moving their EQS line of ev’s too. The average EQS inventory is sitting around for about 3 months…that means dealerships are paying out of pocket to park these cars on their lots that Mercedes is forcing them to sell.

Just to prove I was paying attention, if Steve can't reach the far side of the screen with his basketball arms, imagine the difficulty a less rangy driver will have. Good review man! Nice going Steve!

It's got air suspension option buddy.

Una camioneta Mercedes Benz elegante.

You schedule the charging through Mercedes' App. My 2021 BMW 330e is the same way unfortunately.

Just bought GLE450e, I have at home Level 2 charger. Car seems to max out at 7.6kW (vs 9.6kW spec). I have wall connector hard wired for up to 11kW. Any idea why?

Wow....$70.000....here in the Netherlands it's $111.000😢😢😢

So this car is 4 cylinder? I have a 2020 GLE 450. 450s have 6 cylinders. 350 have 4. So I guess they justify the 2 less cylinders by adding the electric motor to compensate.

I dont get why this vehicle doesnt qualify for the $3750 tax credit. Its literally produced in the US

Mercedes definitely is the Goldilocks of German brands in styling. Gorgeous, clean, sharp, and should age well while Audis are dull and BMW’s are overwrought and gaudy.
