Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 vs Audi SQ7 Super SUVs w/ Tiff Needell

[@lovecarsTV]

Easy question... Audi or Mercedes-AMG? Comment below!

[@RossMKF1]

Mercedes

[@timmietz]

SQ7 all the way.

[@gexpe2003]

Q7 has the next gen technology, the Mercedes the better V8.

[@amazigh8776]

Gle

[@RossMKF1]

KZbin Ciulini it’s weird tho this model looks outdated compared to the US version

[@Thehpman100]

I have owned an SQ7 now for 6 months and I have to say it's a very easy car to live with. I get upwards of 35mpg on long trips and can hit 40mpg if driving at a steady 70mph. I bought it because I wanted a bit of fun combined with good mpg and being able to fit my 2 dogs in the boot. Ticks all of the above. I could not find a match to those 3 requirements on another SUV and especially at this price point. Great car.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thehpman100 absolutely loved the SQ7. It literally ticks every single box

[@LorandHungary]

Hey , been thinking about buying a used one and seen some people say that pretty much all the electrical issues and other reliability issues have been resolved , that the Q7 has. So now 2 years later , how was your experience with it and how much have you drove it (and if still driving it) ?

[@cannyscott]

It also has a middle isofix seat which is a huge bonus for me with a young toddler and older kids. No merc or bmw offers this.

[@TrojanMars1]

Couldn’t believe Tim smothered his paws all over the Marc’s shiny black hood! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@DanielSadjadian]

The GLE sounds brilliant!

[@lovecarsTV]

We agree!

[@KremlinBot7]

+THE MYTH Only an Audi fanboy would nitpick over AMG's brutal soundtrack.

[@KremlinBot7]

+THE MYTH Fair enough but you're still nitpicking. With turbo-charging and downsizing we're lucky enough that one manufacturer knows to keep the right V8 noise. Audi and BMW V8's sound like vacuum cleaners in comparison.

[@maximilianmueller9814]

KING TDI and the Audi Uses a soundgenerator 🤮

[@audiwankenobi361]

What is this?....TTTTTTT Tiff Needell?....is he a regular on this?....Why did this just show up in my recommendations now?....I got sooo much to catch up on.......

[@lovecarsTV]

hahahaha!

[@baffourohene-kena4962]

I was thinking exactly the same. Just randomly showed up in my recommendation. Great video!

[@kmsigns]

Fifth Gear is no longer being made, so Tiff has to put food on the table some how, what a great way to earn a living though!!

[@oarias5158]

Brother I was thinking the same thing!!!! 😱

[@Andrern17]

In my opinion GLE63:Best Exterior and sound Audi sq7:Better interior

[@lovecarsTV]

Well summarised! 👍

[@thiccboi1726]

that merc is ugly asf

[@Andrern17]

Kushal Betgov Audi for me is even uglier,i prefer the gle

[@amazigh8776]

Best automotive youtube channel!

[@lovecarsTV]

High praise indeed! Thanks very much! ☺

[@StWadge]

I have the GLE 63S. It's fabulous and v.v.v.fast. Love it

[@khanaqahemadaniyanoorpursh5539]

Spend more 💷 Get more power💪🏽 pollute less ☠️ Very logical 👏🏽 But it’s the SQ7 for me 😁

[@lovecarsTV]

Good analysis and great emoji use 😊😎

Thank you

Nice choice 👍

[@mrt248]

Nah 4matic is better

[@ahlapski]

If you are into cars like me, you would have seen all the reviews weeks, if not months, in advance. Yet, there is a certain charisma that Tiff exudes that makes these videos very enjoyable indeed. Keep up the good work.

[@lovecarsTV]

Great to hear you're enjoying the videos! 👍

[@jerrybarbender9987]

I actually quite like these Audi SQ7s . I am not into Audis , don't know much about them , but recently discovered these by accident and they're growing on me. Some of the comments here people are saying you buy a vehicle like this to show off , etc. I DON'T THINK SO. I think the Audi is very understated. Just looks like a big estate car , (which I like) , It'ss not showy / flashy at all. The only thing I don't like on it is the shifter and that big console between the front seats. I wish they'd put the shifter on the column and left the floor clear in the front. I am still impressed though . Love the technology in this and would seriously consider one.

[@GranDaddo]

You deserve far more subs than 16k. Good video, good production and reviewers have good chemistry. Keep up the good work. God knows my additiction to car videos need more of these.

[@lovecarsTV]

We are growing steadily, thanks for the kind words!

[@stephenash9549]

I have an SQ7 and it is all that is mentioned here and does 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, but can do 40mpg as well. The Merc can't match that economy.....

[@lovecarsTV]

You're right. We are really big fans of the SQ7. Brilliant car

[@beslemeto]

Oh my god!!?I though it is a fuel eating monster actually.Is this makes approximately 6-7 litres per 100km?If that is right i am getting this car!

[@Destroyah32]

Lazy Mind he’s not kidding. Benefits of a diesel 🤷‍♂️

[@banelengubo6104]

Any one who buys the merc is not about the economy

[@senorgato70]

Everything about the GLE63 is superior. It looks better. It sounds better. It goes better. The interior might be older, but I like its aesthetic better.

[@lovecarsTV]

Not sure our Audi fans will agree, but good to have your opinion! Both were pretty special and have a lot more positives than negatives

[@airj17]

Tiff, tell us again which one has the flat bottom steering wheel?!

[@lovecarsTV]

😆

[@redsquare5325]

Jeremy Clarkson would have given us a drag race to prove it. A real petrol head

[@ursofreedogwater6693]

audi is better

Yeeeeeeep yepyepyep yepyepyepyepyep

[@mrheisenberg72]

Hey honey..

[@AliveGhost13]

shut up

[@faisalleeds]

TGE is everywhere!

[@kevin1492]

I've had my GLE 400 for over a year and had no idea about the hook... Not sure what I'd need it for but you learn something new everyday I suppose.

[@lovecarsTV]

Ha! well Tiff was certainly excited about it! Nice car - hope you're enjoying it

[@urbanin12]

In my opinion, amg cars are the best. Sound and sporty aggressive look... 😝😋

[@lewisbywater1612]

My mum has the gle 350 diesel v6 and it does pack a punch!

[@lovecarsTV]

Nice!

[@infrastruct3173]

Just bought this SQ7, test drove both cars. I like the MERC more but my wife like the SQ7 more and you know what they say happy wife happy life....

[@lovecarsTV]

We hear that 👍👍

[@deniskunstle3638]

F , i dont know what Audi does to women that they all want them

[@NICKFOXTV]

Top work lads. Really entertaining review :)

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you as always Mr Fox! 🦊

[@longtailgt]

As nice and complete as the Audi is (its very good) I will still choose the Mercedes. It looks better, sounds better, has a nicer interior and I just like it more! Excellent video, as always!

[@lovecarsTV]

They're both brilliant cars, all comes down to personal choice at the end of the day - thanks very much!

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

Nicer interior in the mercedes? Really? With the rest I agree though.

[@longtailgt]

Yeah. Nicer. I didn't say anything about quality, I only said it feels nicer and looks nicer in my opinion.

[@ZigZag9639]

Can you do anything else with that Merc than just the engine?

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

I accept your opinion. However, i think there are objective characteristics which clearly speak for the Q7's interior. I will try to explain that standpoint: GLE is a car introduced in 2015. Nevertheless, it's interior looks very similar to the interior of the c-class (W204) from 2007, except for better material quality, a bigger infotainment screen and some other details. But the basic framework is almost the same. There are several elements, which are simply outdated. For example the number pad in the center console. No one needs that anymore because of smartphone integration. Additionally, modern design implies usage of digitized elements, such as digital dashboards, digital screens and so on. For a car that is so expensive as the GLE, i expect it to have a modern, cleaned up interior, like the one in the current e-class. The Q7's interior however appears way more modern. It has a very clean design with several digitized elements such as the "virtual cockpit", small digital screens for the climate controls, ambiance lighting and so on. This is why i think that the Q7 clearly wins in terms of interior. However, mercedes looks better from the outside, has the better engine/performance and the better sound.

[@john2357]

that SQ7 is gorgeous, the styling makes up for the diesel engine imo

[@jonathanpatrick1473]

Great review guys and keep up the great work! Tiff you are a class act, always loved your car reviews!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much Jonathan, we appriciated it! ☺

[@vinnyvsx]

Excellent video guys, I throughly enjoyed seeing these two brutes on the channel... All I ask is PLEASE film a proper 4x4 soon, aka a Defender 👍😎

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks very much Mr VSX, we have a video with a newly restored original Range Rover coming up soon, that might be more to your tastes! 😉

[@xinyuwang988]

They are from two different categories, 5 or 7 seats? I am about choosing from the new GLS and Q7, (family use so just need the 3.0 diesel base model) most popular models.

[@lukmanrafeek6095]

Audi 👌🏻

[@lovecarsTV]

Nice. Most people have said AMG so far :)

[@erikgundersen1]

AMG Big Time!

[@underdawg2743]

A simple stage 1 remap brings the SQ7 up to 520 bhp & 750 lbft.....in a diesel! Absolutely bonkers!

[@gedb6099]

And then you’ll be putting a new gear box in no time

[@SeeWorldKevin]

Good to know I'm in early on an UNDOUBTEDLY fantastic channel! Thanks for the quality product!!

[@lovecarsTV]

Cheers!

[@smack9299]

Just bought the Merc... What an engine.. That grin is worth every penny and mpg, I don't care 😁

[@mazza999]

What's the mpg like as in how long does a full tank last

[@akr864]

Nice presentation, cute arguments. Love it. 😍

[@lovecarsTV]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@vixter_]

The Mercedes steering wheel also has a flat bottom LOL

[@lovecarsTV]

He was just being grumpy trying to find fault with the Audi!

[@liquidgroove]

This could be something special. Tiff’s outdated complaining, bickering and attitude is really off-putting though. He’s a great motoring journalist and presenter. Sort out the nonsense and this could be one of the best car channels on YT.

[@robertl2856]

Well done lads great review

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks Robert, we appriciated it! 😊

[@bobmizen1]

Great video again and very entertaining. Time to try our Lexus RX450h (Petrol and Hybrid)? Regards, Bob

[@lovecarsTV]

Hi Bob. Let's do it! Can you please email chris @ lovecars.com and we will get this set up!

[@brianneeley4471]

Audi RS Q8 would eat the MB and be a fair test but I get the diesel comparison. Sucks that UK dealing with that. Both cars were amazing.

[@severinmitrovic7217]

"It's an etiquette of petrol drivers, we turn our engines off" - Now that's for sure :D AMG all the way!

[@lovecarsTV]

:)

[@the_pompey_kid4610]

Off topic but does anyone know the brand of tiff's shirt please?

[@McRichalot]

Good video, underrated channel.

[@kevgits]

The SQ7 is the clear winner!

[@lovecarsTV]

Nice to have an Audi fan on here!

[@mr.lundb.6512]

Well the title....bought you my subscription!

[@lovecarsTV]

Glad to have you as a subscriber!

[@smallk6453]

We have a sq7, the performance and the sound you really have to experience in person. We’ve had s3 and still have a ra4 which we don’t drive it that much cos we enjoy the sq7 so much. My wife and I often ask each when was the time we fill up the sq7? Cos it’s so economical compare to our other cars. Full tank of diesel usually last us 2 weeks sometimes more the way we drive.

[@lovecarsTV]

You have a nice collection. Paul thinks the SQ7 is the best every day car on the market for the money, period. 👍

[@NjabuloMMdaka]

Great show guys, i've subscribed and hit the "noti" button, cannot wait for more videos like this! Please if you can, do the s Class coupe and the new Bently continental! Thanks! for this vid, i choose the Audi!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you so much for subscribing (and notifications even better!!!) and also thanks for the suggestions. Will see what we can do!

[@sadiq5911]

"You got a map for a dashboard" 😂 Tiff is soo old lol what a legend

[@lovecarsTV]

hahahhahahahahhahahhhahahah!!

[@sibongilemdakane6047]

Ha ha I just love Tiff 😂😂😂 he's so funny. Oh and by the way, I love the GLE too...beautiful!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks and yes the GLE is a nice bit of kit

[@rabea.1643]

Always bring tiff with you for reviews, you guys are amazing.

[@lovecarsTV]

We're trying! Thank you very much

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Tiff climbed out with a smile, that says everything......

[@Pogoda935]

Why are you using a gle and not a gls to compare these two?

[@lovecarsTV]

Hi. We get zero support from Mercedes-AMG (and most manufacturers) so have to rely on kind hearted friends to lend us cars for reviews!

[@carllynch8798]

Great vid as always.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you Carl, nice of you to say! ☺

[@realrockrolla]

You arr fantastic.Keep with exellent work

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks very much for the kind words!

[@soundseeker63]

The Mercedes looks nicer, sounds better and goes faster, and has a nicer interior design IMO. The Audi, is cheaper and gives better MPG but also uglier, slower and an tech overload interior. If you can afford either car then who cares about a few extra MPG? I dont see the point of the SQ7, they should have put in the RS6 motor and be done with it.

[@simondubstep3253]

Uglier!?!?

[@beslemeto]

Audis interior is way better in my opinion.

[@dwergmaster]

clean VW diesel. Great humor guys :-)

[@lovecarsTV]

Ah come on! 🤫

[@unclsam6798]

Tom Current diesels are really clean due to Ad-Blue. Do some research and use internet to gain some knowledge instead of listening to gossips.

[@dwergmaster]

Firstly, I was joking about the VW scandal. Secondly, current diesels are not clean outside the test cycles. Here's a study by TNO from the Netherlands: www.tno.nl/nl/over-tno/nieuws/2016/10/zes-nieuwe-rapporten-over-praktijkemissies-van-wegvoertuigen/ (I think you are Dutch, judging from your name?) Check the PDF at that page which is the result of the study. Modern diesels are, in practice, Euro6 is only 30% better than Euro1 which is a horrifying result.

[@kstar8232]

If anyone thinks there is such a thing as clean diesel. They are dim. They wont be able to imagine how our sun rotates the milky way on one of its arms.

[@thiscocks]

Yeah, using double the fuel and chucking out way more co2 is really much cleaner!

[@dewstergreen664]

yep great review gents fantastic content

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks very much Dewster, glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@Colinandnova]

I drive Audi and my misses a Merc. I reckon it’s easier to set the re entry control on a space ship than set the sat nav in a Merc! Tiff, if you don’t do modern tech and can’t even operate the rear wiper on an Audi how on earth do you deal with a Merc! Look at that central touch pad thing half covering a wheel which also depresses as well as moves lift, right, forward and backward. It’s the most complicated interior of any car I’ve ever driven, and that’s a lot by the way! That said the Merc engine is glorious. Final question, did I miss the MPG debate?

[@lovecarsTV]

BelfastCol69 Lee hahahahaha! So true with this! And sadly the MPG debate should have been one of the biggest points to get across but didn’t come out on the final edit 👍

[@JBOsurf]

Tiff needs to reduce his medication if he thinks the archaic interior of that Merc is better than the Audi.

[@lovecarsTV]

This was something Paul and Tiff disagreed on, I suppose like many things, it's all subjective! 😉

[@raupenimmersatt6906]

JBOsurf The GLE with the right colors and extended leather interieur looks way better than the Q7.... and its a lot years older lol

[@nikitazagorodniy3716]

JBOsurf the Benz is way better the Audi interior looks way to close to the BMW

[@desiredfilm1071]

Dog Toy Dude no way! the Q7 has the most beautiful and modern interior I've seen! Even next to rolls royces which I've been in many times, the rolls obviously has better materials but as for placement and tech wise... Q7 is way better with that

[@catalinxnecula]

DesiredFilm just piss off

[@robertsivonjic5080]

Whaaat, my inner child is screaming, Tiff is back! Insta sub 🔥 best car reviewer from fifth gear 👌

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you very much. We like your inner child!

[@stevenjackson5661]

Soooo funny I have never bought a diesel either TIFF, owned M3, C63, 4 Subaru’s, X5M, RRSC etc etc. Well done you Tiff !!!!

[@danmiddlehurst6462]

Why does tiff say that the Audi has a stupid flat bottom steering wheel , when the merc does and the Audi doesn’t

[@lovecarsTV]

Good question!!! I think we address it in a video coming out today 👍

[@madant7777]

Nice video guys! But next time try something a little below £50k. If anything, Tiff will complain more ;-)

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you, we do have some lower priced stuff on the way! Thanks for watching.

[@AngryBritain]

Walkies Talkies at the wheel, on a public road, and then uploaded to the internet? Good work ...

[@lovecarsTV]

You live up to your name! It’s legal. Obviously, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it

[@snertmetrookworstrookworst7631]

The Merc is Just in another League. What a beast.

[@lovecarsTV]

✅✅✅

[@keitumetsem1344]

I prefer the Benz but fear high petrol usage

[@lovecarsTV]

Fuel economy is something the SQ7 definitely wins out on!

[@caseyvitesse]

Yes but I look at it this way. The noise of the amg wins every time. I would happily pay the fuel to hear that noise. Besides if you are in the position to buy one of these, I don’t think you’ll be worrying about fuel consumption

[@pedronobre5576]

Keitumetse M WTF 2 tones car full tec V8 BT. How can u be worried about gas millege .better buy a Nissan leaf

[@andytube0613]

If you have the money to buy a GLE63 AMG , do you think the usage matter ??

[@denziiey]

If you one can afford such a car why is fuel economy a concern?

[@rakmal7868]

Awesome channel keep it up....

[@MadeOfCrazyWood]

Why not the Merc GLS?

[@lovecarsTV]

MadeOfCrazyWood we currently don’t get any support whatsoever from Mercedes so we had to call in a favour from a friend to borrow this car.

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

I'll watch anything with Tiff, he could review lawnmowers and it would be interesting.

[@petedavis8701]

Mercedes for me

[@lovecarsTV]

Petrol for you then? 😉 Thanks for watching!

[@fcodijk]

did the audi have not 3 turbos?

[@sunghokim4011]

SQ7 all the way. Common Merc. When are you going to update the interior and more importantly, the chasis for GLE? It's a too old platform.

[@bijumj2482]

Tiff ftw

[@lovecarsTV]

😎👍

[@tiansolakovic7252]

this sound that the Audi made when it was turned off was regeneration, which means that it blows away all the gases that have risen in the exhaust pipes to prevent an explosion.

[@ianmedium]

Great review. I’m not normally an Audi fan but of the two I would go for it simply on looks, the Merc looks lumpy and that C pillar is a carry over from the 1st generation and still does not work.

[@canalwest]

Great review. Tiff and Paul... Guys u are awesome. Loved the cars. I wud go for the Audi SQ7. I can make a bet that if the Audi was tested in a black color, just as the GLE AMG was, it wud be much more appealing!

[@joshuaanderson336]

Tiff it's not always about the power sometimes you need torque to even get off the line

[@lovecarsTV]

Agree! 👍

[@andersoncmw1004]

Good to see you Tiff!

[@joefattal7592]

Great video. GLe looks so old and is old. Sq7 is stunning and so much more advanced

[@ZigZag9639]

I love the SQ7!

[@lovecarsTV]

Us too!

[@nirfz]

Sadly today almost every manufactorer ditches classy dials for "virtual cockpit tft things". Have never seen a graphic i liked on them. Still there is no tuner offering different graphics. The second thing: carbon trimm on cars with weights over 2 tons is ridiculous.

[@lovecarsTV]

Good points. It's a personal taste I suppose. Tiff despised the digital dash. Paul quite liked it. The carbon dash is aesthetics only of course... but get your point there too

[@easytechchannel298]

Well done Tiff. Go with the petrol!

[@lovecarsTV]

Cool Stuff TV what would do it for you? We’re scoping things out now but would love to get some feedback on what you’d like to see

[@coolstufftv5094]

Lovecars ok so for me All sports cars not just super cars Tiffs approach to testing.... fifth gear almost nailed it but standard motors are just a bit boring Real behind the scenes Motorsport - Race Team invites... again fifth gear did so really interesting race car tests Tester relationship is key.... not acting like tgear.... but real guys and girls that get on and know their stuff... Jason P still funny and the James Martin Saturday morning home based style-vibe is cool... Let’s see more stuff on tuning type companies and their motors.... TIFF’s Tuners .... example ABT... AMG.... let’s get under the bonnet of these type of car companies, plus let’s not forget private tuners and car collection... Then have a weekly phone in competition that lets you do a fast lap around a real race track like Oulton Park .... then you’ll be entered into the series best lap... would have to stop race drivers entering though ... sorry I’ve gone on a bit here .....

[@coolstufftv5094]
