2022 Mercedes AMG GLE 63S review - is it worth £120k? 0-60mph tested

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63S might have a long name, but it also has more than 600hp, some mild hybrid tech and an interior to shame most other cars. I spent a week and more than 400 miles living with one to see if it's a good family car - or if you should get a Porsche Cayenne. I also check out its drag race performance features…

I was not familiar with this car until my niece who’s a pediatrician recently got one! It is super fast, I didn’t believe her when she said it has 600 hp!!! Really nice car!!

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

Haha, good purchase for your niece

[@whatsupwithsteve]

Great review and yes I want one!!!! Going to put in an order tomorrow:)

Love your comments mate… makes a car review much more interesting to watch.

[@Kofi.86]

Nice vehicle luxury with speed and space 👍🏿

Great review Tim! As a Petrol Head and father of 2 toddlers - 14MPG on the school sounds perfect!! Cheers

[@malthusg1115]

I'm a petrol head and a father of two toddlers too which is why I can't afford this car 🙄🤣

[@whatsupwithsteve]

I'm used to that. My (Me misses?) wife's Dodge Magnum SRT8 only got about 12 around town. Her Lincoln Aviator is slightly better at about 15mpg. It's only money right?....

It’s my favourite because it has pretty windows 😂 Good to see the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree of nonsense 😆 What a beast of a car!

In manual mode, hold down the left paddle and it will drop to the lowest possible speed, 9th to 3rd for example, no click click click...

[@michaeleaton5053]

Good nonsense. I'm glad you're now doing sensible reviews. Now I'm off to watch Shmee's review of the new Dacia.

[@royyoung3104]

Just a thought...was it the car or the fact you were going to Gosport that made her sick????

[@TimRodieDrivesStuff]

This made me laugh far too much!

Buying a modern Merc unfortunately would mean dealing with modern Merc dealers which, here in Oxford, are cowin’ awful. The salesman wander around the showroom wearing hideous cheap suits, sporting slicked-back hair and they are ALL on little wireless telephones. The place has the air of a car supermarket with motors stacked up everywhere. Blatantly illustrates Mercedes’ ‘create a niche and fill it’ approach and mass-market goals. Urgh.

I love mine. Only negative is the gas mileage but I don’t really care. Most likely my last fossil fuel vehicle 🙄
