GLE (W167) [Official] Mercedes-Benz GLE (W167)

[Centurion]

I like alot the rear, the fact that the car has a noce presence overall, I must say that I`ve got used to the fake vents that I ve had previously find ugly. I love the sleek presence, that fact that for an SUV this car has a sleek presence and doesn t look very massive like the X5 looks. Front although doesn`t look jaw droppingm at least for me, loo...

I agree. The previous two generation of the GLE weren't my cup of tea but the W167 is a brilliant revolution.

MBs need some angular, rectangular sharpness. He is turning MBs into bars of soap! #TREASON?

I disagree. When there are more real life pictures of the AMG-Line people will grow to appreciate it's sophistication. Below you can see that the kit adds athleticism but not shouty aggression. Even the alloys don't detract from the purity of the overall design.

It reminds me of the days when AMG styling was tasteful and more discrete.

Than we will have the next Glb for that more boxy suv

I read that the car has Tidal integration. This is a good move by Mercedes as owners will be able to fully exploit the fidelity of the Burmeister sound system. Unlike Spotify and Apple Music, Tidal has a big selection of albums in 96 kHz / 24 bit quality which is near CD-Quality. If you have a good sound system the difference between Tidal and Spotify will be very noticeable.

A huge improvement over the outgoing model. Nothing revolutionary, not really pretty, but so much better-looking than its really bland predecessor.

The interior looks really nice, and MBUX is amazing.

Must say the interior of the GLE looks way better than I had intially thought I do quite like it, but I still think the X5’s interior looks more upscale and overall a better thought out and designed interior.

With the exterior there are no suprises the X5 still remains the better looking of the two,especially with the new generations.Front reminds me of the X-class.The taillights are the weakest part of their latest designs.......yet again. AMG trim look better.

Are the two extra seats really necessary?

@Centurion hey mate what is Tidal I never heard of it only heard of Tinder lol

I'm no fan of this vehicle historically, but as far as base trims go on any vehicle, this thing looks exceptional I'd say!

I showed my Dad the photo he said if I ever buy one he wants those seats and unsaid I won't waste my money on them he said he will pay lol..so yeah in some cases it works.i know for my case my niece's will sit in their if I ever had a opputunity to buy the GLE

It's among my favorite M/ML/GLE iterations, even though I think it needs the AMG treatment. Without the 'inverse' grille, the headlights look drowsy to me.
The interior is fine with me, even though the execution is questionable in some aspects. As I expected, the passenger side of the dash and the passenger vent, in particular, look bland and unfinished.

There are still some reservations about rear seats and luggage compartment. Everything I see, including the electric/folding seats, is pretty standard in that class. Surprisingly, the X5 which is not exactly known as the burro, pays a lot of attention to detail to boot design, including new innovative carpeting and the electric self-storing compartment cover.

It's a streaming service founded by Jay-Z. It's unique selling point is high definition streaming.

At least we didn't get a variation of the E-Class interior. I'm also fine with the GLE interior but like Audi interiors it lacks a bit of warmth. It will grow on me with time.

Personally I think the Interior is very well executed.Very clean design and not overdone everything will be very easy to use not that you need to leave the steering much with new MBUX.

The passenger side I think is clean and normal as any other car it's just the dash and airvent like most cars when I saw the spy shots I was worried of passengers air vent but in the pic you posted it goes well with the four centre vents..

I would have liked of they had the colours to the airvent like in the A class and CLS.

Overall I think the interior is very classy and clean design with no fuss.

New vs. Old.

Say what now? Having a face of Leonardo from TMNT is not aggressive? Not saying it looks bad... well not too bad, but a turtle face is aggressive whichever way you look at it

Lol. Great analogy.

It's a streaming service "bought" by JAY-Z in the hope of making him a billionaire. However the service is predominately awful and losing money at every opportunity.

To be specific, Project Panther Bidco (Jay-z/Roc Nation's holding group) bought the streaming service from Scandinavian company, Aspiro in 2014. From then on they had a rebrand and mass-marketing campaign to become the company they are today.

I appreciate Tidal, my only critique is that some rare albums are not in their catalogue at present.

Yupp. Music streaming is far from perfect due to costly and complicated negotiations with right's owners. Even Spotify has gaps in its assortment.

Hopefully commercial success will come their way as Spotify doesn't seem intent on offering his resolution audio.
