OMG! The day has come! You didn't mention the iDrive. Are you ok, Mat?

[@ricomyburg8981]

Hahaha it irritates me so much when he always has to mention the idrive😒

[@ak09aat]

Absolutely love what you guys do with these reviews! Quick, efficient, gives you decent idea of what the car you think about buying is like. The only thing I can suggest is to work a little bit on the sound levels of the videos when you edit. One second Matt is super loud and the next I can barely hear anything so I have to rewind the video and adjust the sound myself. Please do not take this the wrong way I watch all of your videos and love them! Best of luck! Regards, Alex.

[@Kleroterion]

I like the seat folding mechanism, it helps it achieve that gloriously flat load bay.

[@taron-armanKasparyan]

carwow can you do a review of the mercedes benz GLS

[@miguelangeldiaz8923]

Sería bueno que todos los videos tengan el audio en español ya que en muchas ocasiones buscamos reseñas y no la encontramos en este idioma

[@paarthgupta5070]

You are such an amazing reviewer... Good job and keep up the good work! Could you also review the Mercedes Benz GLS and compare it with the Range Rover Vogue? Thanks

[@adityatan8510]

great review. could you also please review bmw x5 x25d and let us know how does that compare to the gle 250 cdi? thanks

[@Petesamal]

Mat - How does the ride comfort in this compare with the XC90 (both on air suspension). I know the XC90 doesn't absorb bumps on rough roads that well. I'm having to decide between this SUV (with the new, smaller "43" petrol engine) and the XC90 T6 (must get a petrol SUV or I'll get DPF probs with my driving).

[@marcelboeltjes9148]

British car reviews are always about putting down the seats for putting in large objects???? Are you Britsh going to the Ikea twice every week???? I normally use the space only ones a year, so no big deal to me, LOL

[@carwow]

We tend to buy tea bags in 20kg pallets and those stiff upper lips take up a lot of space too

[@p-vision]

+carwow 😂

[@graphguy]

Then it is an American thing too, cause I am not buying any car that the middle back seat sucks nor one that I can't stick a bike in the back etc.

[@thesupremedogearmyyeet6187]

www youtube music selena

[@petergeorge9004]

Yes we do go to ikea every week

[@aravindpadmauday]

Hello Matt..did you know that the swivel wheel underneath that touchpad can be moved left, right, up n down.? Haven't seen u mention it any of the merc reviews..Been using my GLE for 3 years now, and I found this out today..thought i might share it with you..✌😊

[@nickwills6042]

SORT OUT THE SOUND LEVELLING!

[@mikybriza]

Matt, could you pls rev a 3 cyl vehicle? Its economy and different drive mods? I. e. Astra 2015? Cheers.

[@BLX187]

audios levels off on this one. but still a great video again.. keep um coming

[@bozhidarstefanov712]

Mat are you going to make reviews on older cars like the C class(w204)

[@ibroeverythingnew1337]

Mat, I do really like how you presented the cars like fake pumps and cheapy plastic parts inside the too expensive and luxury cars. 😊 It's brilliant and thanks for the presentation.

[@TributeToMusica]

honestly! He does the best reviews on youtube at the moment.

[@lefuedebout]

Is it true that a new GLE model is due for release soon? As you mention in the video the present model is just a " refreshed " version of an older model.

[@kungsvea]

Hi Mat, thanks for good reviews. Is it possible to get the fueleconomy-numbers in liters per 10 kilometers for the rest of us from other part of Europe? :) Think a lot of us will appreciate that, Thanks a lot from Sweden...

[@niyaazisaacs1990]

LOL! That best before joke is hilarious lol!

[@moshoodbakare1210]

I really love Mat's personality. He's good.

[@Superblyme139]

is the new model for this coming next year?

[@marklotsufanclub8546]

Do you guys film your videos at longcross race track in surrey

[@ocallaghanm5]

What a brutal review. Talking about storage space for bottles etc.

[@jameschee]

Matt, you need to volume up the mic. Music is fine, just your mic isnt picking up well

[@SR-ok6fz]

A very good review as always Mat !! awesome

[@aabidamn]

You should've upgraded this car with the optional new sound editor. To level up and equalize the sound of your videos.

[@bou212]

Hi guys, will do do a review of the of the range rover discovery sport?

[@sunnydhaliwal9012]

Personally thinking the command system is far much better than the iDrive... I don't like the fact with iDrive you have to keep on pressing the back button when returning to sat nav or audio... With command unit you just have to hit what ever option and then forget about it

[@manosdaimanolis9127]

can you review the seat ateca?

[@alexblag18]

So, if this competes with the Audi Q7 and RR Discovery, what is the Mercedes GLS competing with? Surely with the Audi and Disco?

[@deboneil13]

Review the S-Class , XJ , 7 Series and A8 and later on do a comparison of those 4 . Or something like GLS , Q7 , X5 , XC90 and Range Rover Sport review and comparison of those

[@leerenhuai6685]

When is this generation announced?

[@ishaanbhat4512]

Hi Mat, I like your videos but please make a video on Mercedes v class

[@vicdinges]

Can you do a review of the Audi Q7 e-tron ?

[@sauersig3919]

No spare wheel?Do they require run flat tires? And why no more fog lights? I still love my 08 Gx 470 better than my wife’s 2018 Gle 350 4 matic.

[@theomfhaladi9056]

please make a review on the gls 63 amg

[@sbomorse]

You said it had a 9 speed auto at the start, then said it had a 7 speed auto with a low range

[@carlcaspersen123]

Do a review on the volvo s60 or the v40

[@jaideepdhillon9247]

please make gls 2018 video review

[@thokozanigab]

Pls also do a b class review!! My mom's been annoying me asking me for advice on which car to buy and she's maybe considering it haha

[@Eleanour]

Your reviews are the best!

[@yashindranawanage459]

Do GLS

[@jaysethi4423]

Hey Matt, been watching your videos for years now! I am using the same cellphone to watch your KZbin channel but videos now are very hard to hear on my phone's speaker. So I am limited to use headphones whenever I could find them! Please pump up the volume a bit!? Thanks and God bless

[@rob-fb5xs]

😂

[@haliladem2396]

I love the review, and based on the result i’m going for it💪

[@Poolwhisperer911]

U forgot to point out the Mercedes led light under the side mirror which features the Mercedes logo on the pavement at night

[@stevequinn70]

Man. Those door bins and cup holders. Damn I've soiled myself again. Everytime I see those bins.

[@jimmymoody9595]

Do a review on the GLS, it looks the bollox!

[@dhruvtimblo3580]

Omg mat has changed soo much over 5 yrs

[@Stormy0912]

brilliant review!

[@muhammedsuleman395]

Brilliant always. But i wouldn't mind an opinion at the end. Nothing about whether you think people should buy it etc... simply whether you like it or not.

[@ashutoshdharmendrasharma8633]

Pls review mercedes GL class.......

[@yashindranawanage459]

Do a review on the GLS

[@JJPalma-lx5yn]

I love this guy! Great job!

[@Abeermeditalks]

awesome presentation

[@bakaenkaaka]

1:48 hello Mr.Cameraman :D

[@VolvoXC90TV]

Mat what's better, the 9G tronic in this or the 8 speed ZF?

[@carwow]

+VolvoXC90TV zf maybe. But 9g is great

[@hafizde7]

Please review the new gls

[@tocmelea]

Jaguar Mat! Do the F-Pace

[@pirapakaranfamily9154]

Why not shut the boot to show it can shut with all that stuff but still I love your videos

[@christiansanden8005]

Ita a cool SUV, awesome quality, powerful engine( the V8), and a lot of space. Thats it

[@cryoffical5035]

how much hp

[@AOTanoos22]

gotta lovet these easter eggs :D 3:13

[@johnjahanshahi]

the boot is huge, there should be a 3rd row option, theres lots of space

[@nathanielfoo7835]

no one would buy the gls then

[@gx455]

Thats why I bought the gls

[@hereistand2008]

W167 have it now

[@easyboi1143]

AMAZING.. I OWN GLE 350 I LOVE IT..KUDOS TO MERCEDES BENZ

[@superravmanrampage]

lol dat Glee reference

[@MotorTorq_ZA]

If I had to drive a fancy car i would pick the ml/gle. They feel robust and solid

[@sbomorse]

Love GLE poster haha

[@FirstLast-wj1hz]

That's a hip frikkin sexy car! Question though: this or a q7 for a medium/large luxury suv?

[@vaibhavchaudhary27]

If looks don't matter, this. For everything else, the Q7 or other competing SUVs

[@andredestroyer7442]

do the coupe one

[@AdamAus85]

Man that hunk a plastic that the rear view mirror sits under. Must have a few of the computers in there.

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

Adam N That plastic above the rear view mirror are sensor for windshield wipers when it's raining. Just like most cars

[@Alexander-oz9rz]

Better than the X5 in my opinion

[@Robwra320]

Nah ur brain isnt working

[@jurleka]

Mat when are you going to test Alfa Romeo Giulia?

[@FxFalconz]

Do the BMW X6, Mercedes GLE and the Audi q7 and then you can even do the smaller ones BMW X4, Mercedes GLA and the Audi Q3/5

[@fionanbuck]

Those interior door handles are in dire need of an update.... They've remained the same from the M class of the early 2000s!

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

Fionan Buckley Who cares about the design of the door handles

[@bwmim9709]

Nothing wrong with them

[@OscarLeeMX]

Am I the only one who loves cars with that numpad for phone calls? I've got a new BMW without it and it's just a hassle to enter phone numbers with a rotary dial.

[@andrewyang9095]

That's what voice command is for.....

[@OscarLeeMX]

Voice command isn't available for every language. And I'm not sure you can dictate numbers and get the car to call that.

[@OscarLeeMX]

I see. I still like punching in numbers more.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Oscar Lee Nobody uses number pads anymore. I just press a button on my steering wheel and say "call whoever". If you are dialling a number on some keypad, who's watching the road?

[@mattjones9343]

Number pads are useful for conference call dial i

[@amazingm4tt820]

If I sat in the middle seat, I'd be happy as I would have the privilege to be in a Mercedes

[@noahbowie7579]

what happened to the Honda nsx video

[@MatthewMcGuirt]

The music in it went in and out. They're probably going to reupload it.

[@PunjabiKudiUK]

They should never have changed the ML - it was perfect

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

PunjabiKudiUK Personally l better like their renamed cars like ML (now GLE), GLK (now GLC), GL (now GLS) and SLK (now SLC) which makes it less confusing. Since GLE is a SUV E-Class, GLC is a SUV C-Class, GLS is a SUV S-Class. In 2013/14, Mercedes-Benz introduced their GLA and CLA, so that's probably way they renamed the ML, GLK, GL to GLE, GLC, GLC retrospectively

[@giovanni_pineta]

They initially had to pay BMW for using the protected „M“ term in M-Class, due to their patent on „M“-cars (e.g. M3...)

[@SpeedingDemon-qy4xi]

Thorbjørn Madsen I find each of them equally luxurious. Mercedes just decided to include every type of SUV there is GLS being the full-size, GLE being mid-size, GLC being the compact, and GLA being the sub-compact.

[@nicholasnolan4143]

does the Gle replace the ML?

[@hivaladeen4892]

Nicholas Nolan yes

[@AdamAus85]

Merc is getting bad for cost cutting ideas, especially plastics. But then some BMW 3 series owners say their windshields are saint gobain and the side windows are some funky chinese brand. They're all doing it.

[@zedesino]

So, can we use this car as good replacement for s class. We are looking for best suv for tall man in sixties (grand daddy) can not jamp in easly in saloon car anymore and looking for SUV, but it looks like mercedes dont have right answer for s class comfort for driver. What you recommend for a business man that like comfort of s class and driving only mercedes last 30 years. :)

[@carwow]

It sounds like it's perfect for you then. It's worth finding out if it's too tall though - my gran struggled to get in a similar SUV cos it was too high off the ground

[@carwow]

+zedesino Lexus RX450h. Really comfy. Or Range Rover Sport.

[@zedesino]

+carwow thank you! I have RR on mind too, not sport model but grand daddy like only suv and GLE will be his choice. I think GLS is just longer GLE nothing special or am i wrong?

[@renesalazar6939]

If you had an s class then go for the G class now ;)

[@atizeg]

For some reason it reminds me of those large coffin-carriers at funerals. Matt, make a series of special vehicles like hearses, ice cream vans etc. (before Carthrottle do). ;)

[@robertbidochon7949]

+atizeg I love the hearse look, makes you feel like Death himself.

[@tebogoradikoro4391]

that move recline is too short to be called reclining

[@junito1008]

Very good and funny videos !! 😂👌🏼

[@josephstalin4202]

Where’s my 9 speed transmission???? I have a 18 gle350

[@yellowhammer3]

beautiful suv, i like it better than the X5

[@rasgari8350]

I like the way you critize I guess you are a great design engineer yourself.

[@atk9836]

If top gear hires MATT, i will start watching.

[@shabeezaidi6812]

My laptop volume is full but still i can't hear you clearly...?

[@MatthewMcGuirt]

Yeah the audio is very quiet on this video for some reason.

[@Miotrix]

Hey Mat, VWTouareg or Mercedes GLE? Which is better, bigger, taller, cooler?? :)

[@carwow]

+Miotrix gle

[@Miotrix]

Thank you :))

[@nigelmatthew8534]

Gorgeous massive car!

[@mikicaradojevic2058]

the best or noting

[@curtain561]

Matt plz do the bmw x5

[@Mv_zo]

Mat before Burberry 😂 time flies

[@dchris91]

love this car

[@sbomorse]

Anyone who'd buy this old dog when they could have the XC90 would need their head testing!

[@_TheWerewolf]

They'd just buy this because it's a Mercedes

[@williampatterson3683]

Nope, I considered the X90 but couldn't get over the fact that it only came with a 4 cylinder diesel engine. I have had 4 E Classes with the V6 engine and it's refinement and abundance of torque far out way anything with a 4 pot. I think Volvo have shot themselves in the foot somewhat but maybe its because they are charging headlong towards hybrids..

[@HS-PGX]

It’s such a shame I have the plug in hybrid model... it takes up so much of the boot space! It’s fun to drive, and comfortable as hell, though. Fuck that’s a terrible metaphor. It’s comfortable as heaven. Oh, and it does 0-62mph in 5.5 seconds. It’s really fun to scare the shit out of your friends by stepping on the prissy pedal... What’s really annoying is that the badge is GLE 500e, so every time I say Mercedes 500 (which used to be my R129 SL500) I’m like “I mean the SL”

[@decemberswiftie]

The old vs new gle are so weird... the new one look so much better
