Actually people buy AMGs. More than 132000 AMGs were sold in 2019. That's not"no one will own". And 63s is not the average "most expensive models". The top end AMGs are so different from those base models that 50-60% parts are different. Engine, transmission, suspension, exhaust, infotainment, seats, steering wheel. Everything is different.

I always find it funny when people think the ML/GLE can not go off road. They have always been good off road. During development, Mercedes takes and tests the GLE on the same off road course that they test the G Wagon on. So it always struck me that people thought it could not. It can it is just that people don't. These cars are engineered to the nth degree. You must search videos of these cars off road. Usually it will be older MLs/GLEs since no one is taking their new ones off road. Even the GLS is very capable off road. The off road mode wasn't there for just gravel. When the German's added the off road mode they meant more than that and they do well on normal road tyres because that is how they test it during development. That is why with actual off road tyres they become crazy capable even more.

As always, great video. This car took the off-road challenge without breaking a sweat with summer tires!!! Subaru, take notice. The onyx struggled a bit for the same challenge with all season tires and usage of x mode 1 and 2 while the Mercedes didn't. Of course this is the vehicle for the wealthy. With that said, I would stick with subaru because it is subaru!! I don't have to baby my ascent or if I get the onyx or the wrx sti. I wished the forester had XT with the 2.4l turbo engine. Overall great video but I will ask you to please test the 2020 ascent limited or touring on this same challenge road. Please, so my kids can leave me alone because they don't think the ascent can beat that challenge compared to the onyx. Thanks

Dude..to compare this to a Jeep and suggest that people save money getting multiple cars in one...is simple misleading. This Mercedes cannot go anywhere like you specifically said. Yes it is impressive for it’s class, but It does not have the clearance of a stock Rubicon and will not be able to handle trails that need higher clearance. Your taping up the underside carriage is a perfect example why someone spending 131k on this vehicle, isn’t necessarily going to want to rough it up on any Jeep rated trails. Other than this, excellent review. Looking forward to your upcoming Onyx reviews.
