ive had many mercedes and never opted for leather. Ive found that MB makes the best imitation leather. really superb quality. and its only getting better.

The true king of diesels period.

[@greaser3069]

Major Pain nn..nnnn.n.nn...noooo

[@chrisgill4888]

King in what way? There are diesel vehicles with better MPG and performance...

[@mikeh478]

I drove one this weekend and it is a solid, great looking crossover!!! I might have to add one to sit with my C63 AMG.

[@NEONPARADlSE]

I agree. I like Mr Davis. His voice is what completes the videos to me!

[@micheldube5542]

I bought a new 2015 last year, already reached 25000 km and my best mileage is 5.2 lt / 100 or 54.2 m / gal, hard to beat eh!

[@salinasmario8]

my 1978 ford pinto gives 44 miles to the gallon!! and it paid for!!!!

[@foxtrot685]

What is your 2.0 FSI in? A jetta? A Golf? An A3? Lets not forget this is a diesel in a very heavy, aerodynamically challenged AWD CUV. Its mileage is excellent for what it is!

[@twingytwango6971]

Most informative review, thank you!

[@grindfap79]

respect the davis, man!!! mr. davis, you rule.

[@1979irock]

Needs another refreshing

[@1994delicaman]

the om 651 does not have variable valve timing...

[@cassiocm]

You forgot to discuss the breaking distances for the track portion! How many feet to stop from 60-70 mph? Thanks,

[@smp336]

Leather is OPTIONAL!!!!!!! come on Mercedes

[@DevonReclaimed]

Mercedes makes the best imitation leather in the business. It isn't necessary

[@9886543211]

It is always sad that I have to waste my time to educate people like mototoob. Listen, the FSI makes 200lbs, got that? also the FSI is mounted in lighter cars so when is time to tow (haul) you can't tow crap with your 2.0 FSI. This TDI engine is forged and is meant to last for a few hundred thousand miles not like the FSI that needs Fuel pumps because it ails or diverted valves because it ruptures. This SUV makes same power and much more torque than the FSI engine..period!

[@MOTOTOOB]

For a Diesel, that fuel economy sucks. My 2.0 FSI gets the same. Big deal.

[@chrisgill4888]

Still better than BMW diesel SUVs

[@trevorsmith185]

bring back manual transmission

[@9886543211]

To mototoob. Listen, the Chevrolet cobalt SS with the ecoboost smokes the FSI any day and gets better fas mileage. The MAZDASPEED 3 smokes the FSI anyday of the week. You think that the 2.0FSI is the $hit but is not. A 10 year old Evo with a 2 liter 4G63 smokes a 2.0 FSI any day and even the newer Kia and Hyundai turbos still gets better gas mileage and power than the FSI with the same displacement so go and hide somewhere. Even the CLA 45 AMG with 360hp gets 24-33 same as the FSI but 160hp more so please shut the hell up!

[@chrisgill4888]

Why do I feel like you really dont like the FSI...

[@farnum3297]

you might want to check a few more FSI engines first.

[@orbits2]

Mercedes should stick to their sedans and sport coups
