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.

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.
