Which 2023 GLE-Class trim does Edmunds recommend?
The GLE 450 gets our recommendation in the lineup. In addition to standard all-wheel drive, it comes with an excellent turbocharged six-cylinder engine. It's a lot more powerful than the GLE 350's four-cylinder engine and achieves the same EPA-rated fuel economy. More power and no penalty at the pump.
