Poor Build Quality
Bought a new 2023 AMG GLE 53 last month, driving is great, pleasant interior, sound system excellent....Unfortunately totally disagree with Edmend's review on build quality - lots of loose plastics outside (like plastic around wheel, AMG logo on front, rear window plastic molds,...) and many creaky interior components as well(door handles, wood trim,....). Build quality much worse than Audi, even $30k Kia Sportage is better than my $90k car.
LOVE it!
I owned a 2013 ML350 and took delivery of the GLE 450 in January. Best car I have ever owned. Luxurious, safe and great performance. I use sport mode most of the time for best steering and acceleration. Comfort mode too soft. Technology is great but has so many choices it takes time to customize it. The combination of cruise control and lane keeping assist is funky as it sometimes adapts speed downward unnecessarily on the highway. Lane keeping assist is also too aggressive. These are small observations. The car is great and highly recommend it over BMW X5.

2022 GLE 450 is excellent 👌
Had the GLE 350 which is like a lame duck compared to the 450 I just bought . The mild hybrid engine is absolutely cool and increases acceleration significantly compared to the 350, it also has better gas mileage. The GLE 450 is an absolutely quite car because of the electric motor!

Luxury & Performance
We bought the bottom of the line 350 GLE (almost no options), and are incredibly impressed with car. The technology is impressive and intuitive for a non-techy like me. Performance is solid. In performance mode I think it is the equal of the V-6 powered BMW X5. The interior appointments are luxury defined. We looked at BMW, Lincoln and Mercedes and the Mercedes had the most luxurious look and feel. Rear seat leg room is excellent. With the panoramic roof, the back seat may be the best seat in the house! I love all of the safety features like lane keeping, collision avoidance and alarms. The backup camera is the best I saw with overview and the traditional rearview displayed side by side. Most important, my wife LOVES it. MB has created a dealership experience second to none with the cafe and free car washes. I think I'm going to love this car for a long time to come.

Great SUV 450
The 450 is a great SUV. We live in Northern Mi. The weather here can be crazy. This car does not care. In winter, we will go for a hike, the roads are snowy. Other hikers complain that the road was bad, the GLE no problem. We live in a tourist area. The locals drive at the recommended speed. The tourist can be 20 to 30 below this. With the 450, you can pass them in the blink of an eye. It is the best vehicle that I owned.

SUPERB Vehicle. Comfort, technology + performance
We love the 2023 GLE. Comfort, performance, tech, seating, storage, and sound, are all great. We test drove the BMW X5 it is was a good 2nd place choice. It has a cool look and drives tight, but the Mercedes wins on comfort, tech, ease of use, sound, etc (And Price.) X5 is higher by quite a bit. We got a 350, but if you want more power look at the 450 or the amazing AMG model. Mercedes has perfect fit and finish. The showrooms are much much higher class than the other dealers and they make the buying process easy. BMW was an odd mix of arrogance and people lazing around. The Mercedes team are professional and buttoned up. This car is a great one!

After all the hyped positive reviews, disappointed
This is a review of the amg 53. The first disappointment was paying 10k over msrp when its still a buyers market. But with all the great reviews we decided to push through. I wont review all the positives because they've been done extensively by others. My 2 biggest disappointments, the exhaust has 2 modes, but both are quite loud. And this turbo v6 does not sound nice, so it isnt cool to be loud. 2nd, the back area lays flat, but at sn angle. I would accept that on a '90s explorer, but not a 2023 Mercedes costing 120k...

Princely SUV
Bought this new… I’ve only had this vehicle for a couple of days and so far it is everything I hoped for. I’ve owned 6 Mercedes over the years and have enjoyed them all. A little pricey but this one should deliver many years of value while riding in style. Despite the price difference I wanted the 450 over the 350 for the power it delivers ( gets the same gas mileage) . It seems for every ten 350s out there maybe only one 450 is available.

Sexy, sleek, and ready to impress!
This thing is absolutely amazing. With gorgeous look, incredible performance, and other-worldly tech, there is nothing like it. I am taking a wild guess, but I imagine the negative comments are from those who do NOT own one, could never afford it, and would love to drive one. The Bang & Olufsen Sound System Package with Burmester® High-End 3D-Surround Sound is 2nd to none. It is far superior than our Porsche Panamera, Tesla Model S, or Lexus LS combined. The massage seats are the best I have ever experienced. The tech in this machine is industry leading. Sports car meets SUV. Truly this is a remarkable vehicle. Hats off to Mercedes. Built in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, U.S.A. Sexy, sleek, and ready to impress!
