Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 vs Audi SQ7 Super SUVs w/ Tiff Needell
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
With the SUV market growing ever rapidly and showing no signs of slowing any time soon, we wanted to see how two performance SUVs shaped up, mixing the mighty AMG petrol with the impressive new Audi diesel.
Combining practicality and impressive performance, both the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63S 4MATIC and Audi SQ7 seem very similar on paper, but which would Tiff and Paul prefer?

KZread Ciulini it’s weird tho this model looks outdated compared to the US version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

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) ?

+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.

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.
Well done lads great review

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

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

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.

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.
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!

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.

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?

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 .....
