New episode DT Test Drive: Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Coupe vs. BMW X5 M

Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Coupe — analogue BMW X6, the class of so-called crossover coupe. Sorry, I could not find H6M, so compare with H5M, technical filling cars on 100% identical.

Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 Coupe — analogue BMW X6, the class of so-called crossover coupe. Over the years, Mercedes answered the X6, however, only the second generation. Sorry, I could not find H6M, so compare with H5M, technical filling cars on 100% identical.

Engines

Powertrain both cars — V8 with two turbines, but there are some differences. Engine Mercedes (M157) has a volume of 5.5 liters, two classically turbine located at the spars. Two versions — 558 hp and 585 hp (AMG S). In our case, the plant was 558 hp A lot of Torque bottom by volume and it is a nice bonus. And what is the sound ?! Just the song! The BMW 4.4 liter engine (S63TU), two turbines located in the collapse of the block. Although liter plus difference comparable capacity — 575 hp The sound was a weaker than a competitor, but spinning the engine up to 7000+ rev / min, and more likely gaining momentum. But both engines were modified: bezkatalizatornye downpipe and reprogramming of the control unit. If Mercedes — Renntech, in the case of BMW — Evotech. Power GLE 700 hp, power H5M — more than 650 hp
I should note that this is the first version of the «firmware» to these new vehicles, over time, experts vyzhmut iron everything and make cars go faster.

The behavior on the road

Here the difference between the cars more than palpable. H5M is like a tiger on the road, clutching «claws» in the roadbed. Holding the steering wheel BMW feel some confidence, and the behavior of cars only reinforces this belief. On GLE, unfortunately, it is not so rosy. Banks and rocking body fight off the desire to go fast and «improvise.» But this does not mean that the car is not able to ride fast. It's all the same AMG and it is faster than many, but not much else.
My preference in this case — H5M, but again, the average person enough and GLE 63 coupe.

brake system

The brake system on both cars is not bad, but if you do not forget that it is in the context of 2.3-ton behemoths. On M'ke swim a bit later, but still sail, if you go very quickly. In active urban pace and lack of brakes there, and there.

Automatic transmission

It is standing on the BMW 8-speed automatic transmission. Box — class, click fast, there is a system Launch Control. On GLE 7-speed automatic transmission MKT also no specific complaints, but my riding style better «understand» machine in H5M.

Multimedia

In my opinion the clear choice — NBT system from BMW. Beautiful, logical and screen more. Commando on Mercedes, in my opinion, is behind by one generation. Those sports equipment in the BMW look stylish and in the Mercedes as if it nedopilennoe application on the «Android».

My choice — H5M, and everything else look at the video. Enjoy watching!
