Tom great review. More engine details would be nice, this 53 spec is actually a belt-less engine with a 48v integrated starter-generator (ISG), this is providing the 250nm (and 16kw) you mention although it does also have a 48v compressor (turbo). There is also no 12v battery, conventional starter motor or alternator. The 48v ISG handles starting and charging while the system supplying all electrics in the vehicle. Having no engine belts the a/c compressor and water pump are 48v.

Tom, you are not wrong in preferring the Wagon shape, it's just your preference. For me it's the coupe but I couldn't care less what happens behind me except for the looks. I do care a lot about what is under the bonnet though and I'm fully into that tech. The V8 is for wealthy bogans.

Great review as always mate. One of your reviews helped me decide on my new car this year..... thank you. Keep up the great work😊👍

Glad to hear it, Max. Which car?

Great review! Could you please review GLE450 Coupe mate?

My favorite 😻

I’m in the United States. I have a 2020 GLE 450 SUV. It does have the 48 volt EQ boost to get the car moving, which it does very well. You said it doesn’t. Is that in Australia only?

Fantastic review. This new version is so much better than the old 43.

Tom, ever been told you could stand in as Jack Perkins body double? Might be handy for sneaking into tracks .. 😁 Nice bit of kit but at $190K I suppose it should be. Think I really need to get a better job... Liking you're style Tom, I would use your reviews to buy a car sight unseen if need be.

If you want a diesel GLE, you have to accept the wagon-SUV (you can't get a diesel GLE Coupe). In the GLE wagon, you can choose the four-cylinder GLE 300d ($105,700) or the inline six-cylinder GLE 400d ($124,400).

The overall look makes me ill buuuut I think the engine in this thing is so cool! I love the i6 comeback!

Interesting car, but like you, I don't get the shape at all. Perhaps Audi have done the best "coupe" shape with the Q8. When do we get to see your review of the GLE 'wagon'? You have done three of the X5 so far...

Mercedes-Benz don’t have a very large press fleet in Sydney, and the strict lockdown in Melbourne (where they are based) has made it hard to send an extensive range up to Sydney for us to test. Hopefully soon.

Chasing Cars Probably not I’d say but I see Audi are now selling the SQ7/8 in the U.S. and some other markets with a 507hp version of their 4.0 litre twin turbo V8 Petrol, I asked Audi NZ via their Instagram page if they’d be bringing in that motor to this market in the SQ’s and I heard crickets 😂

I assume they'll sell through their allocation of the diesel V8. By the way, I love the diesel V8 -- just that Benz are really showing the way here with how to do a brilliant mild hybrid six. I know Audi are doing a similar thing with the V6, but Benz's implementation is superior -- silkier, smoother, and the inline layout sounds better.

I prefer the edgy. I think MB has a brand cache around it at the moment over its German rivals in Australia for some reason. It appeals to younger generation as well as the aspirational old.

Has Ed Sheeran taken up a new career as a car journalist?

“The future of petrol engines” the combustion engine has no future. Given Mercedes is not spending another cent on developing new combustion engines anymore. Unfortunately this will be last magnificent motor they’ll put in their cars…

Good luck when your EV is totally worthless landfill in 6 years time, proven by every study out there, let alone the lithium iron cobalt pollution from your dead battery that only 15% can be recycled, let alone the massive carbon footprint of making the thing in first place, or the huge copper waste from the motors, or the increase brake dust and tyre microplastic pollution as your car is so heavy, and the so called free power, coming from COAL 80% of the time, or the massively costly chargers you have to use when away from home that cost more than petrol, EV owners are amoung the most misguided and misinformed people since COVID conspiracy theorists. I point and laugh a EVERY EV owner who think they are saving the planet when they are actually making it worse, they are worse then the Prius owners of yesterday year, they are like vegans they have to tell everyone they have one, and how they are helping the planet, its clown world time, I laugh at every EV owner who sits in a 2 hour cue waiting to charge their car as I fly past after waiting all of 5 minutes to go anothger 1000kms in my hybrid engine (the only sensible choice at the moment). Keep buying EVs they car companies will love your disposable car, as you are forced to buy new one every 6-7 years and throw away your current one like last years iPhone . You have been conned by clever spin marketers , the same ones that said smoking is good for you.

This car just screams "I own a teeth whitening franchise". Money, no class.
