Mercedes GLE Coupe (2014-2020) review - Carbuyer / Mat Watson

"The Mercedes GLE Coupe is one of the sportier SUVs in the range, but it comes at a price."

The Mercedes GLE Coupe is the sportier, sleeker version of the Mercedes GLE SUV, and is poised to rival the BMW X6 as a sports 4x4.

The Coupe has a lower, more sloping roofline than the standard GLE and has a more rounded design to it too. The engine range is slightly smaller, forgoing the super-efficient hybrid model, but it still has the crazy AMG-tuned version with a massive 5.5-litre V8. We think your best option is the 350d diesel, as it still has plenty of power and is the most economical engine in the range.

I honestly don't know why people hate this thing. sure it may not be practical, but it sure turns heads.

My dads just bought one of these and I thought it was ugly at first but it's grown on me and when it's on the road it's a proper beast looks amazing

What is it with Merc still putting the 1-9 phone buttons on the dash? It looks 15 years out of date.

I have seen a white GLE coupe in real Life and I think it is better looking than the X6. The front looks more aggressive and the back is a lot more slim than the X6's back. If I had to choose over those two, I would take the GLE. I can't care less if the X6 is better through the corners because an SUV is just about cruising and having a nice comfortable drive.

I love this car, i will recommand to go for the amg Sport Package. If you have seen this car in real, you will love it, too.

I saw this car in white coming in front of me and believe me it looks soooo expensive it really looked so wide and big and it looks much more muscular than the X6

[drewie]

Not a huge car guy these days but this has rekindled the love. Such a beutiful car.

[kokilig]

At 4:52 he said "you just put the car into comfort mode", but he put it in sport haha

[Raprada]

Not a big fan of the SUV-Coupé look since day 1. Just get a normal GLE or X5. Heck, save some cash and get an estate if the toughest terrain you'll ever encounter on your commute to work is a bunch of speed bumps!

The other day I saw this car on the road and it was jaw-dropping

[mustsilm]

Mat, any chance of you doing the new Mustang review?

[umartanweer]

Wasn't a fan until I sat in the GLE63S yesterday, what a machine

[kamillusdelellis]

What's that on you shirt supposed to mean? And btw. - you've got the switching from Sport to Comfort mixed up in your editing.

[RogerBaileyOnCars]

I wish I could get my car reviews to be this good ! I reviewed the same car but my presenting ? what do I need ??

[joachim]

Did anyone noticed the bagde on his shirt ?

[Quemaine]

I have one question please answer. I'm trying to record reviews/presentations with my phones camera and I have a lavalier microphone.. But how do you record the audio with the video camera???? What is your mic connected to? How is the audio saved? Is the Filmer holding a transmitter???

When I saw the Lecus RH300 back in 99 the first thing I thought of eas the ol' AMC Eagle 4x4 solid axle leafspring/coils wagon from the late 70s until the early 80s. That awesome car was way ahead of it's time and somehow when looking at it through the lense of international auto manufacturing, this thing IS a distant cousin of the Eagle. AMC was bought by Chrysler Jeep the MB was acquired to becom Daimler Chrysler but was spun off shortly after being adopted. I love this beast

You should have links to the two vehicles you mention at the end of the video review. I could not click either one in the video itself, and when I clicked the links in the description they only brought me to your review pages instead of the videos I was expecting to be linked to.

I never liked the look of the original X6. It just didn't look good to me. It was too round, and the headlights made it look to "pretty" and what not. It wasn't very aggressive looking, just very round and bulgy/weird. But when i first saw this thing, i immediately fell in love. It's very sporty, aggressive, and sexy. The looks alone convince you its faster and nicer than the X6 imo.

[akshaypal]

heeyyy i want that camera which he is wearing on his head !! please let me know if anyone has any idea about it. thank you :)
