Kudos to you Nick for having the initiative to set up this channel. It's good to see someone showing enthusiasm in informing yourself about what you're selling and sharing that with others. Makes great business sense also.

How did you become the best Mercedes YouTuber? 👏 😎 the quality of your scripts is just excellent, informative, concise.
Great job

4:40 *At a charge cost of £4.62 {Diesel £5.16} this would barely save anything on a efficient Diesel for 60 Miles, my W247 B200CDi has averaged 57.3 MPG since I had it just over 12 months ago, over a distance of 7720 Miles, many of which on account of Convid have been short trips. However I appreciate the 'emissions/pollution' issues and in Urban Areas should be run in EV Mode. Not sure of the % but very many journeys less than 55-60 Miles so a great start. However there is always the 'Old Chestnut' of extra cost, and having attended a 'Select Customer Survey' in Dortmund December 2016 where an extensive review of the **_New W247_** was undertaken was [Sworn to Secrecy] but can state now was told Mercedes were bring out Hybrid Versions of the new car, capable of driving up to 30 Miles PHEV - That's for me I then thought and got quite excited. However Mid 2019 no news, and then discovered introduced on 'A' Class in Germany but at an additional cost of €5k - worked out it would take very many years to recuperare so went ahead and purchased my current cat - a B200CDi AMG with all the tricks, pre Registered with 81 Miles at a huge (£10k) Discount. This has proven to be the best car I have ever owned, including many previous Mercedes and a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. I now own a vehicle that I had a **_very_** small part in it's design, but must apologise regarding "Fake Exhausts" I argue/did contest (Real Twin on W246 Series that I had at the time) the point being ultimately was overruled by EU NOISE Emissions as many other manufacturers were. One small point the Air Intakes on Front Grill and Rear Diffuser/Vents many many Millions of € were spent by Mercedes in developing these, a figure was mentioned but I have forgotten, it achieves the lowest drag coefficient [0.24 Cd] of any other comparable vehicle, Only available on the AMG Models I believe. The MBUX at Dortmund was in early development, and only a cardboard cut out on dash. However it exceeds all expectations and absolutely amazing. When driving in the dark just Say - Turn up Heating, put rear passenger lights on, change lighting to Blue, what's the Weather tomorrow, Navigate to Bill Bloggs, provided you have Bill in your Contacts on Smartphone and it will immediately respond*

Keep it up nick, your information helps me to know more mercedes.

[martinmoran]

Nick once gain another great short video lovely simple and to the point

[harshasuri]

Learning something new everyday from you...

[Markyreg]

Another excellent video Nick - thanks 👌

[asifsaddique]

I look forward you doing a video on the GLA 250e Hybrid

[sohailalrahi]

Yay first to comment. Great video as always Nick. I would love to buy a Gle but they're super expensive. Maybe get it after my current mercedes

[DannyBoiMuncaster]

OP as ever nick, I think you could push these to be a bit longer 😉 I was actually disappointed when this one finished 😂😂😂

[officesuperhero]

I am in New York City (USA) and I don't think we have this one yet (even though it is made in the USA). And I just bought a new GLE 450 SUV a couple of months ago. It is the standard passive hybrid type.

[old_lion]

Thank you Nick for one more interesting video. - Great Job! 😃👍🏼

[johnbhogal]

Thanks nick, I’ve now actually got my gle 350de would be good for any tips and tricks or other useful information. Your doing a great job 👍

[JCML]

I have just ordered this car but I'm frustrated at the 6 month lead time. Videos like this are like gold dust a the moment. What would be great Nick if you could do a test drive to see what the real world Electric range is. The diesel MPG would also be an interesting tit bit as well. Lastly, I have seen that the MBUX has additional screens for the hybrid. Please could you go through these as well. (I don't ask much do I?)

[michalklucz]

After four years with pure BEV I am looking for a PHEV. FINALLY after a years of seeing 10-13kWh batteries we got some useable batteries. This de version would cover 90% of my daily trips over on motorway, while allowing me to travel with our small dinghies. I would love to grab one to park it next to our city focused BMW i3. I just don't get why I can't get things like ventilated seats or electrified steeringwheel column steering in SUV version 2021-2023

[fmomeni]

On super long journeys where the car uses diesel only, what Mpg are you guys getting? Trying to compare it to the x5 45e which in petrol mode only averages 28-29mpg

[Doverbeach]

Hi Nick, as always very informative! However; would it be possible for you to post a more in-depth video re the overall driving experience, battery and diesel consumption etc? The 350 d e is a very intriguing option but there is very little information about the driving experience. Mercedes themselves have almost next to nothing out there re the d e. I do think that they are seriously missing a trick here. The electric range alone is a great selling point. Go on Nick, you know it makes sense!!! Kind regards

[veemacks]

I'm gonna be a bit cheeky and ask a question not related to hybrids. I'm wondering if/how I can turn off the fake engine noise piped into the cabin on my car when I'm in Sport+ or Individual. It gives you a more spirited engine sound and the pops/bangs on the overrun. I don't mind it doing that in Sport+ because it's what I'd expect in that mode. But when I'm in Individual, which I'm only in so that I can control the gear changes 100% myself without it reverting back to Drive. It seems like Mercedes thought "if the driver is in individual mode, let's treat it the same way we do Sport+". They didn't anticipate that people might use Individual purely to be in control of the gear changes. I'd love to be able to turn it off.

Hi Nick, i have just last week ordered GLE 350de and i should be getting my car in jan2021, its very difficult to find one which i can test drive. i just put all my trust with MercedesBenz. so please like the previous comments can you do a real test drive using normal driving condition, and also to go over any deferent functions in the MBUX system in this Hybrid car. may thanks
