Great job Matt, I liked your level of detail and thoroughness. Cinematography was great, it must be another hobby of yours. Something i have to work on for my channel.

Nice review! Thank you!

When he mentioned the history of the GLE when it started as an ML, I couldn’t resist but saying, I had a 99 ML320 for 18 years. I still miss the ride, comfort and solid feel. I drove it through blizzards and Florida heat. I’m still not sure why, other than saving money, MB changed the 2nd row configuration. It had 3 separate individual seats in the 2nd row. They were all full size. I also added the 3rd row. Those were full size seats too. The good old days. It still drove, quite and comfort like new.

I just bought the GLC 300e; great car. "Only" 313 horsepower. It's enough for the lighter car. I love it.
-
3rd row is available in other trims, just not in the gle 450e bc of the batteries.

Kyle Conner from the Out of Spec Reviews channel just did electric only range tests on the GLE 450e and got 58 miles at a constant 70mph and 68 miles on a slower run. That is very impressive! I prefer the ICE engine in the BMW X5 50e, but I think I would take the one second slower 0-60mph Mercedes to get the extra electric range. The only real world electric only range test I have found so far on the BMW X5 50e got only the rated 40 miles from fully charged to empty.

They need to upgrade the dash to match the new 2024 E-Class.

I suppose the nice thing about fake exhaust is it stays clean 😂

Its the best plug in hybrid if you pretend the way better X50e doesn't exist lol

I purchased, new, a GLE 550e plug-in hybrid. The Mercedes has been the worst vehicle ownership experience of my life. The vehicle has had transmission problems since it was new, it developed a leak in the rear differential a few months in, the air suspension failed at 40,000 km, there is a recall notice for the fuel pump control unit and I just received a letter indicating that the air conditioning compressor might fail prematurely. Worse than the technical problems, is the dismissive attitude of Mercedes customer service that says the transmission jolts and lurches that I continue to experience are normal for a $100,000 luxury vehicle. Not to mention that the electric range is much less than what was advertised when I ordered it.
