All-new 2020 Mercedes GLE released

[Anonymous]

I'm sure none of that stuff ever breaks down, right?

The more complicated cars get, the more likely they are to be in the shop. Warranty or not, it's still a pain in the ass to deal with.

These types of cars are designed to be leased, not to be driven to 200k with zero major failures.

Who cares, you're not supposed to keep them for more than 5 years. The vast majority are gone in 3-4.

Mercedes has gone full retard with their fugly giant iPad-like screen. No thanks

Please tell me that Mercedes has a voice activated GPS system! Mine is from 2015 and it's so awful I just use my phone.

You can have the Mercedes. I just got the 2019 Volvo XC90 and LOVE it. Really great car.

I am asking because I don't know what the fancier brand's usually come with.

Big new features are:

-Better air suspension that now has cameras that read the road surface and curvature ahead. The suspension responds almost instantly to effectively dampen out potholes and body roll. The suspension can rapidly raise/lower to "rock" itself out if stuck in mud or sand.

-Insane amount of active safety features. The car will nudge you to the center if it detects an impending side impact. It will help you make evasive steering maneuvers (i.e. enough to avoid the accident without overdoing it). If the car detects an impending collision it will play pink noise to protect your hearing from the airbags. A lot of amazing stuff.

-The semi-autonomous driving capability is very likely going to be better than the current iteration of Tesla's Autopilot.

The lease on my wife's RX350 is up soon and the GLE is definitely going to be a contender.

Volvo XC90 had had this since 2016

looks like a CRV

It could be any overpriced SUV. I'm sure it's a nice car but......

No it hasn’t.

XC90’s with air suspension are unicorns and they cannot adjust at each wheel like the new GLE, let alone read the road surface ahead. The XC90 air suspension is really basic.

WRT to safety, the previous gen GLE fares better in crash tests than the *current* XC90. Their semi-autonomous driving is also nowhere near as advanced or usable as what MB currently has.

In 2020, Tesla’s enhanced auto pilot will be much better than it is now. Tesla’s autopilot is automatically updated through software updates like an iPhone.

So how many mpg does this gas guzzler get?

Does this mean the 2020 gls is coming out soon too?

Why are they releasing this so early? It’s not even 2019...

Got a Tesla X two years ago, all of the features you mention are standard. I’d recommend you give it a test drive before settling for this one.

Mercedes active safety systems and semi-autonomos driving is better than Tesla's. Tesla air suspension is the same as Volvo, very basic.

The Model X looks like a bloated whale carcass and I'm not going to ask my ILs to install a 240v charger at their beach house in DE so I can charge when we visit.

Take a test drive. I’ve driven a Mercedes GLE and a model X, p100d, and it really is no contest. The Tesla is super fast:quick with one gear, fast. It is amazing. Difference between analog and digital. The bloated whale carcass costs 160k+ however but you can wait for the model Y which will be out in 2020.
