The latest model introduces innovative technology, diverse engine and powertrain options while maintaining the consistent excellence associated with Mercedes. Among the various offerings, the GLE comes in two distinct body styles, with the conventional SUV being the fan favorite.

[@KuyaArbee]

People don’t understand at all! The GLE is an experience! It’s truly something else to drive as an suv!

[@jackz4149]

I have the GLS and i agree. Not just driving but the little things such as seat comfort, easy entry, Burmester speakers, massaging seats, and just the MBUX is simply superior. You don’t feel it, but when you drive something else (namely a cayenne under $100k), you’ll miss those features

[@yaserzaki9087]

Father of two children right here and I went to a Mercedes dealer ship with my kids and they loved it, they loved how spacious was and they kept talking about how comfortable it is in the back seats. In the process of selling my old 2009 e400 and making up the money to buy the gle

[@p-dub7422]

I have a GLE 350 4Matic and it rides very well! The interior is amazing it is comfortable and steady. Mercedes understands class and comfort like no other. I will try the 450 to see if the 6 cylinder really makes a difference. I know my 350 does very well on the HWY as I commute long distances to work and have no problems at all.

[@thom7529]

I purchased this model (GLE450), one year ago, and I love it!

[@jazzyflorida3757]

When is the gle going to be redesigned? Not just refreshed

[@gregoryalvarado1843]

Do you have a video on the 2024 GMC 1500 AT4X 3.0 AEV ?

[@ehyouman]

this was a great review

[@pruitt3507]

I have the gcl 300 with the 4 cylinder, that engine is appropriate for that size but the engine would struggle in that size of suv.

[@713vinh]

I'm in the process of specing a 450e with plug in hybrid. I think it's the best GLE to get.

[@shahj8]

GLE 450 or BMW x5 xdrive 40i for overall better car also want it to at least 8 years which one?

[@kashifnyc]

I think the suv version of 53 and 63 looks more aggressive than x5 and cayenne.

[@QQQlife]

not a fan of facelift. front headlights looks dumb

[@user-pc9kk9ip4s]

I considered this car, but that was untill I read about all its faults. As I understand it was/is made in the US and not Germany. Maybe that is the reason for all the problems?

[@PrayerNightSeries]

go Texas teams!

[@RP-mo2md]

If it could only be reliable, but from our experience - this has been absolutely worst vehicle we ever owned when it come to dependability. CR isn't lying...

[@SoCalJS]

Hi which build do you have? Can you share some of the issues you’ve faced ? I’m in the market for one and curious what your problems have been?

[@RP-mo2md]

@@SoCalJS We had ML350 and issues were not isolated to one area - engine, electronic, all wheel drive system, suspension... Overall the car is assembled from very poor quality of components that notoriously fail. I agree initially it is a very appealing vehicle, but it quickly turns into a bag of loose bolts.

[@MzDerbyGal]

Air matric is not being put on 450 as a option.. MB will take it off order... Also no dash cam being built on this vehicle.

[@maxagent86]

Not true. My 2024 GLE450, delivered just last month, has a built-in dashcam, it is part of the augmented reality navigation option. Air suspension was also available but I didn't want it.

[@ivor1957]

mine has built in dashcam

[@_Venu]

❤

[@kashifnyc]

I initially wanted to order the 450 but then it was under 10k vs the 53. It didn’t make sense to get the 450 then. 63S is insanely priced. 40k over the 53 price.

[@masoudj1185]

53 has the same engine as 450. Just boosted.

[@haroldlee6923]

I did the same but the dealer wasn’t interested in me spec the amg 53 at 92k, so made me wait a yr and refunded my deposit, unfortunately it isn’t a 10k difference between a 450 to a amg 53, try over 20k before they’ll submit ur 105k plus 53, they’ll make u wait and wait and let a higher specd more profitable amg to be sent in factory and kick ur below 100k specd out wo so much a “sorry for the yr long wait for nothing”

[@BocaAtractivo82]

beautiful exterior, elderly interior design is the downside for me.

[@rkaptynable]

What has the best interior in the class? TIA! 😊

[@BocaAtractivo82]

@@rkaptynable I'd have to say a DBX707 or a Bentayga - that's just for me as you and many others may think differently

[@masoudj1185]

With this brown seats I agree. If you get black seats it looks really amazing inside. Me and wife test drove Cayenne, X5, LX and GLE and both liked interior of GLE above the rest. The amount of quality wood and aluminum inside just makes it more premium looking inside.

[@anthonyh2884]

580 all the way 👏🏽😘

[@kashifnyc]

Base is $108k I believe. 🥲

[@igordragicevic0606]

170 000 $ in Croatia. There is only 70 k? Omg..

[@dimaroscadallacqua9926]

Actually GLC is the most popular SUV from Mercedes

[@paulm6481]

You have to pay more for sound deadening on a luxury car. 🤣. What a joke. I take a Pilot over this any day.

[@ohheyalan123]

You also have to pay $2k for driver assistance which is standard on Lexus, Toyota, Kia, Honda, etc…

[@PrayerNightSeries]

I like Gle and pilot

[@PrayerNightSeries]

And more

[@BobsGT235]

I don't like the way Mercedes keeps using the old man Towncar transmission shift handle on the steering column. Also that dash layout looks so old and out of date.

[@LookHere3]

I love the transmission shift handle. Merc was the first to come up with that. Saves space and look better than a huge ugly stick in the middle between seats.

[@MrRensan404]

Great review. When it comes to luxury and elegance, the GLE is the way to go. The 450 straight 6 would make the driving experience even better.

[@paullawrence1450]

“Nice Neighborhood” what does that mean? That’s the typical stereotype from you folks
