2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 400 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 7A)

After driving this for about three years and putting on 50+ miles per day commuting, the only thing that went wrong was an alignment issue that ate up the tires prematurely. Once that was fixed, nothing major. The interior shows almost no wear. On the highway I average around 24 mpg if I'm being gentle. Transmission could be snappier at times but it's adequate and the torque this thing generates is more than adequate. I normally drive in Comfort mode. Sport does wake the transmission up but it's almost too aggressive and the steering becomes strangely heavy (though very direct). The 400 is the sweet spot of the GLE range in my opinion.

If you want sporty, the BMW X5 could be a better choice for you. If you want straight-line speed and off-roading capability, the Range Rover Sport could be more appropriate. But, if you use your premium SUV for driving around town, taking the kids to practice and going on long road trips, you absolutely cannot beat the GLE. It is the safest, most reliable, most luxurious and one of the most feature-laden SUVs you can buy in its price range and competitive set. If you want sporty, get a sports car or sports sedan. If you want straight-line speed, get a Corvette. If you want off-roading capability, buy a body-on-frame truck. But, if you use your luxury SUV like just about everyone else uses their SUV, then get a GLE. In terms of within the Mercedes line, I've driven the current generation GL450 a few times, and by comparison the GLE 350 has a newer design/sleeker front-end, and a much improved infotainment system. In fact, the infotainment system works much better than BMW iDrive and Range Rover's system as well - though the new Volvo XC90 might have the GLE beat by a hair. Get a GLE for the reasons I mentioned already and you won't be disappointed.

LOVE my GLE!

I really love the new GLE! I compared it to the Lexus RX, GX, Toyota Highlander, 4runner, and BMW X5. Overall I think this was the best choice for the options and luxury you get compared to the others. I have a 15 month old, and I feel like it is the perfect size SUV. It isn't too big, nor is it too small. In my research process I did find it challenging to find a car with the exact features that I wanted. So my recommendation is to check multiple dealerships for their inventory and really study and learn about the features available. I was able to find exactly what I was looking for at a great price- it just took time and patience. The car drives great, and handles really well. I LOVE using the sport mode when it's just me in the car. My car has the panorama sunroof, which seemed like a cool feature- but living in Texas I am finding that it just makes the car get hot really fast! Thank goodness the AC works quickly! Overall, it's a great car and I'm glad we purchased!

The GLE feels like a tank, but is an easy daily driver that provides luxury and power with a feeling of safety and confidence.
