BMW X6 M or Mercedes AMG GLE 63?


So let me start by saying that both of these vehicles are amazing. They are both some of the most unnecessary and yet the coolest and most overdone SUV's. Let's start with the X6 M though because it was the first of its kind. It was the first "SUV Coupe", or the first vehicle to really have this look and form and go on the market. It is an M vehicle to it has lots of power and is crazy sporty for a BMW. This is why it became pretty popular. It is an extremely sporty SUV and it is just so unnecessary that it is awesome! They sold extremely well and this is why eventually, Mercedes decided to get out the tracing paper. They soon came out with the Mercedes AMG GLE 6
3 Coupe to directly rival the X6 M. In fact, the GLE looks exactly like the X6, just translated into the current Mercedes design language. As you can see here, they look very similar.
Since they look so similar, it's hard to say which one looks better. I think that on topic it is just a matter of opinion. Personally, I think that the X6 M looks a good amount better than its competitor. This is just a matter of opinion though and some people may see it differently.
Now, onto specs. Both of these vehicles have some really crazy specs. So, we'll start with the BMW. It has a 4.4 Liter, turbo-charged, V8 engine that creates 567 hp. That's is an insane amount for an SUV of this size. It does 0-60 in just 3.8 seconds. That is getting into sports car region. This SUV will top out at 156 mph though. The next is the Mercedes and this has a similar engine to the BMW. It has a 5.5 liter, turbocharged V8 as well, except its it bigger and makes 575 hp. It will do 0-60 in 4.3s though, which is significantly slower than the BMW. That's still quick, just not as quick. The Mercedes is also limited at 156 mph though they have a package that will limit it at 174 mph. That is an optional package.
I think that overall, the BMW is better. The X6 M has better looks, better specs, and is more extreme. The Mercedes may be more luxurious and sound better but they just cannot compete with the M cars. The specs for the X6 M, especially the 0.5 second difference in 0-60 times, is just too much. The AMG GLE is just too slow. AMG does make good engine that perform and sound awesome, but the M engine performs better. That is why the winner of this battle is the BMW.

The Chevy Colorado

The Chevy Colorado. This is the smaller size of truck that is made by Chevy. They have been being made for a while and they are arguably one of the best trucks on the road right now. The Chevy Colorado is rated as one of the best off road vehicles there is. In fact, it is rated number one on many websites! This is a crazy achievement that shows just how good this truck really is. It even beat out Jeeps and G-Wagons. Also, the cost of this off road truck is not too high. The base model of this truck starts at a rate of $20,000 though it does have a lot of options. A good 2018 Chevy Colorado will probably take you back about $24,000. However, that is definitely worth it.
The Colorado comes with a 2.5 L 4-cylinder that creates a 181 hp. That is not bad for base model and with that, you can do some pretty heavy work. You can spec it all the way up to 308 hp but that will cost you. The truck will do 0-60 in an extremely quick 7.1 seconds! Also, it has a top speed of 100 mph.
This truck looks great and rides well. In fact, after riding in one of these myself, I was very impressed! I think that this is one of the best trucks that there is and it will continue to get more popular in the years to come. This truck has everything! It has good looks, power, and off road capability. The Chevy Colorado is the ideal truck for anyone who is looking to get work done and have some fun on the side. This is really what makes the Colorado such a big and important vehicle.
