A good contrast to this video is the 2024 GLB facelift! It has the same shape, same front grill, 7 seaters too; basically a baby GLS. I got it early this year in February and have driven 10,435KM thus far and my family absolutely loved it. Updated to the new MBUX NTG7, everything is absolutely lovely. 😃 Anyway, great video! I always love coming to your channel for the best Mercedes Benz contents. Keep doing what you’re doing! Love from Singapore ❤️

I owned a 2021 GLE 350d with a 3l diesel and ended up trading it in after 2 EGR replacements and oil in the DPF after 40k miles. Might have been faulty but it didn't help that I did mostly urban trips. Got a 2024 GLS 580. Not the most sensible choice, but wanted to experience a V8 before they go extinct

hey Nick thanks for the videos. greetings from Australia. i bought my first MB A200 last March and in the lead up i watched many of your vids to help me understand the tech and features. loving the car so far. you mention the haptic buttons on the steering wheel a number of times. on my car i have the haptic buttons but i can also press them like a normal button. so in some instances i use the 'real' pushbutton and other instances i use the haptic button. keep up the videos, love em. cheers
@npoleary

Ah thank you! Glad you love the videos! Yes quite a few manufacturers have gone down this route with a sort of smooth flat surface but with a sort of touch interface for buttons. They do work fine, but the only issue is for newer drivers, you have to look down while driving to see what your next button is. So instead of feeling where the button is, it’s completely flat. It can take your eyes off the road temporarily. It is something you get used to and having had my car for the past year it is something that I know inside and out but for anyone who’s transitioning to this type of touch screening wheel, they might want to try it out first.

@npoleary
18 күн бұрын
Oh yeah that’s cool! I should have done the stick of truth test! 😜 Actually no not at all! I did not notice any panel gaps on this car. Mist is completely normal on modern headlights as they are not sealed units. Due to the temp difference on the inside vs outside it can happen, so completely normal. However I did note that actual droplets of water were present in that video of his which is not normal. But I can confirm I did not experience that in my time with the car 🙏 perhaps it was rectified, not sure on that one.

The thing I want to know is about the paint. Manufaktur Apline Grey specifically. It is an extra on top of the metallic options but seems like it is just a solid paint so I cannot fathom what makes it more expensive? surely not just fashion/popularity? I would love to know the answer if you have any knowledge about this paint option. Thanks.
@npoleary
16 күн бұрын
Honestly sure why that particular paint is so much more. The term Manufaktur originated (I believe) from the G-Class where people can customise and choose their bespoke version from the inside materials to the exterior paint. I am guessing that Manufaktur came from that model which might explain the cost? It certainly is my favourite out of the ones available although not sure I could stretch to it personally if I was in the market for a car that size. If I ever get to speak to someone in charge of GLS, I’ll ask them! 🤓👍🏼
@markr3926

@@npoleary Thanks for taking the time to reply Nick. I have a GLC in Manufaktur Alpine Grey. But since it was a £925 extra I asked the dealer why and there was no answer. I feel like there must be an explanation. Assumed there was something about the paint that offered a benefit, an ingredient that costs more and or gives something extra to what is other wise just a plain solid colour. So yes if you can get to the bottom of it I’d be so grateful to learn. I have drawn a blank with dealers, google and mercedes website. I love the colour, but very frustrating to pay extra and not know why its dearer. It could be its popular so they charge more, just seems like a silly business practice if that was the case. Thanks again, and update would be awesome. 🙌

This is probably the best engine for the car! I’m sure it’s got nearly the same amount of torque as the 63. Are these 450d models twin turbo or tri turbos because I think this is one of the most powerful 3l diesel engines in production rn. Would be a nice comparison with the X7 50d

Sadly on virtually every car I’ve ever tested and reviewed, KZitem doesn’t exist.

Some models like Mercedes they have the vertical screen might work through the browser, however I did look at an external device like this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/o3eDsYGpsXOrp6Q And this: kzitem.info/news/bejne/zG2AmmihhqZ1aIo Where you can add an HDMI port to the car. Mercedes certainly don’t support that natively but try in the browser first 🤓
