64 mile range, luxurious, beginning to disappoint

This is an edited review after initially 5 star. Going into sixth week and some problems are beginning to make the ownership experience somewhat regrettable. On the plus side it’s luxurious with a great ride and I’m getting 64 miles per charge which is great, it’s like an EV with unlimited range. However, one of the features I was looking forward to benefiting from, augmented reality navigation, can’t be used in practice because it’s virtually impossible to search for a destination in the first place, so it’s back to CarPlay. And a terrible rattle has developed in the sun roof. The level 2 charger that came with the car has also developed problems. I’m souring on this collection of “features” that seem poorly tested and thrown together to check boxes on a feature list. Will update if anything changes for better or worse.

I am disappointed. First time purchasing a brand new Mercedes car, and it's quality was very unsatisfactory. First, two door covers were not properly fitted into the door where was a gap between the door and the plastic frame. (fixed) There were also multiple scratches on the exterior of the car (fixed). On the driver side the handle leather was peeling. The brakes keep on making a thumping noise and the sales mangers told us that all of the new Mercedes GLES brakes make this sound. I don't feel very good with this really loud noise. I also finally got my second key today after waiting a week. I am not sure if this is a big deal but it seems like the dealership took another cars key and reprogrammed it to my car (they didn't dispose of the original tag Which says GLE 350 GREEN) my car is red. Now we are waiting on scheduling an appointment for leather works and brakes check but it taking forever. They don't answer our calls and we always have to come physically to the dealership to get any kind of update. Todays update was wait for the call. I don't have time to be going to the dealership every day to ask for an appointment to get my new car fixed. Overall, I am very sad that my dream car came out like this, I have always believed that Mercedes had the best quality in luxury vehicles, but now I really don't think so anymore.

GLE 350 Issues
Disappointed , 08/20/2023

The GLE 350 has Apple CarPlay issues. The radio blasts when you have an incoming text message. The dealership says that there is no fix. The car also “pulls/jerks” when it stops and starts with the gas saving feature. You’re at a stop light and once the light turns green and the car turns back on it jerks every single time. The remote start also doesn’t work properly. You start the car, once you pull the door open it stops again. It’s hard to think of the good when I’m reminded of these things everyday. First Mercedes, disappointing experience.

2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class AMG GLE 63 S 4dr SUV AWD (4.0L 8cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A)

I have leased 7 AMG products over the years. I have now 200 miles on a 2023 GLE 63s AMG after turning in a 2019 GLE 63s AMG. BIG MISTAKE. In the 2023 both front seat ventilation fans whine loudly. The MBUX system does not recognize items that are installed in the vehicle. Sound system is poor lacks base. Suspension system not up to AMG standards therefore handling is way below the 2019 model. I read the Edmunds ratings of the 2022 GLE (software, squeaks, drive train etc) and still made a mistake because i got a good deal. BIG MISTAKE! The 2019 was an excellent high performance SUV. The 2023 version is 300 lb heavier, longer and less storage behind the seats and is just big without character. NOT a TRUE AMG. DO NOT PURCHASE without driving it. Mercedes is shipping new vehicles to their dealers with known defects expecting the new owners to sort out the problems with the dealers.

Quibbling about perfection

I've had my GLE 450e for a month now, and its powertrain, transmission, interior (including the a/c system) are perfect: smooth and intuitive. I'd give it 5 stars, except for these quibbles: MB gave NO storage alternatives in the way-back when they filled up the rear with the PHEV battery -- it needs some cubbies and bag hooks; now, the tire-repair kit and portable charger just slide around with nowhere to go (even some Velcro tabs would help). Next, the purse/bag hook in the passenger footwell is missing-in-action. Next, the SUV is pretty high and, IF it does not come from the factory with the $600 running boards (which look very nice), there is no factory kit for dealer installation; my dealer quoted $5,000 to install post delivery, and strongly recommended against it (as if!). Finally (short list, eh?), exterior styling has some bogus fake elements that could easily have been made functional: the exhaust ports and the rear-end brake vents are totally fake; the front brake vents occupy about 1/10th of the allotted space but that space does not accommodate fog lamps or any other functional use. That said, I am very satisfied with the 2024 GLE 450e.
