Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class AMG GLE 53 4dr SUV Exterior. European Model Shown.

+356

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a great pick for a luxury SUV. Besides the impeccable interior and solid construction that make a Mercedes special, the GLE has all of the latest and greatest innovations and upgrades. The GLE 450 is what we'd recommend for its combination of power and efficiency, but even the base GLE 350 will likely satisfy.

Less than 800 miles. In service for WEEKS

DW, 01/01/2022

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 350 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

The car is beautiful. However, missing several features other cars have. Less than 800 miles and it’s been in the service department more than in my garage. Had a bolt missing/ broken, terrible noise of things flapping/rattling on the passenger side. Picked up car on Wednesday, had it towed on Friday….”Reversing Not Possible. Service Required”. Over a week now waiting to get it …

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 350 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I just purchased this vehicle, brand new from Manchester Mercedes dealership, this vehicle was shipping in and had 11 miles on it when I got it. 6 months later I'm at 10,300 mile and I brought in the vehicle for the schedule maintenance (oil change, fluid top off) the tires we're brand new as well after the inspection i was told that the rear tires have worn down to critical levels (RR …

Awesome Ride

2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 350 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

The vehicle is amazing. Almost everything is great, so I will only mention a few points. I have a GLC and a GLE. The engine noise in the GLE is much louder, even though they have identical engines. As such, if you can, I would recommend opting for the 6 cylinder over the 4 cylinder, for a quieter ride. Also the factory missed a part (a door sill) during assembly, which was a little …

Pretty but definitely not sporty

RobD, 08/13/2022

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 350 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

The GLE 350 has a luxury interior and some cool tech, but the driving experience overall leaves me wanting more. Seats are comfy and the ventilated seats are a perk, but at high speeds (75-80mph) the whistle from the side mirrors is annoying. The windshield wiper shuddering will drive you crazy if you’re on a rainy road trip. It’s a well know. Issue for this car an MB has done nothing to …

2023 Lexus RX 350 vs. 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE | Can the Redesigned RX Beat the Luxurious GLE?

The Lexus RX 350 is all-new for 2023, with sharp new styling, a revamped interior, and way more technology than the prior model. The RX has long been Lexus’ top-selling vehicle, as well as the sales champion of the highly competitive midsize luxury SUV class — but that doesn’t mean it’s always been the best overall product. For us, that’s been the Mercedes-Benz GLE. Now…
