Bought 2021 GLE for my wife. We've owned a couple of MB's and many Lexus models. We test drove the Q7, Genesis GV80 and the Lexus RX. Wife had been driving an Audi Q5 and loved it. But when she got behind the wheel of the GLE, it was all over. Ride, fit & finish, interface, materials, etc just totally outclassed the competition. Only car I've ever bought where we paid full-price --cheerfully. Drive this one and you'll be convinced. After 12,000 miles happy to report no problems or defects. Gas mileage is a bit lower than we'd hoped for but other than that remain very pleased.

Amazing SUV - Great Tech, Smooth Quiet Ride

Picked up my 2021 GLE350 4Matic two weeks ago and it has been amazing so far. The MBUX tech in the vehicle is absolutely amazing and easy to use. The ride is surprisingly smooth with decent power for a twin turbo 4-cylinder. The cabin is virtually silent on back roads and the highway. The panoramic sunroof option is a must as well as the 21" 10-Spoke AMG Wheel, Night Package and the Surround View Camera. No other MSRP compares to build quality and tech options. Take a GLE for a test drive, you will not regret it.

It's a Benz...

This car rides nicely. Comfortable, spacious and performs well. Minor problems, one of the key fob is already dead. Completely broke and it broke less than a year in to the vehicle. I didn't even use the broken key fob prior to breaking. It just hung as a backup. Key fobs on BMWs and Benz are expensive. Not sure how unused key fob can break hanging on a wall. I've even replaced the battery, twice. Most of the Benz service department are borderline rude or rude. If you want to experience "we don't need your business, but you need us" customer service, I would recommend getting a Benz.

I had a 2020 gle 350. Which I loved. It was totaled on Christmas morning 2020 in the bombing in downtown Nashville. I decided to upgrade to the 2021 gle 450. I am so happy I upgraded to the gle 450 AMG package. It is so worth the extra price. Comfort and driving is exceptional.

The engineers and designers at Mercedes out did themselves on this one. Coming out of an Porsche Cayenne, we had a high bar set for our next vehicle. We looked at just about everything in the category. Nothing we looked at or drove came close to the GLE. This vehicle has a completely un-compromised level of refinement and tasteful luxury not found in the other vehicles in this class.
