While the car looks great and offers some impressive features like the plug-in hybrid system with good electric range and effective traffic cruise control, there are several areas that seem disappointing. Pros: 1. Aesthetic and Design: The car looks stunning, and I appreciate the overall design. 2. Plug-in Hybrid Efficiency: The ability to get 55 miles per full charge is a significant plus. 3. Traffic Cruise Control: This feature works well and adds to the driving experience. 4. Interior design and room is great for passengers Cons: 1. Seat Ventilation System: It seems like a major letdown compared to your previous GLC 300. It does nothing 2. Engine Noise: Despite the quiet package, the engine noise when it turns on is unexpectedly loud. 3. Performance: The car is underpowered for its weight. 4. Technological Issues: Hand gestures don’t work properly, and the self-parking feature is unreliable. 5. Build Quality: A rattle in the luggage area and other quality concerns make the car feel less premium. 6. Customer Service: The dealership’s response to my concerns about the engine noise was unsatisfactory. 7. Storage: There is NO STORAGE in the car... Nothing... I give it a 3.5 and am strongly looking at other makes and might take the loss to move to a better designed and made vehicle

2025 GLE 350 Perfect….BUT

My BUT is a very big but.This is shockingly uncovered by Edmunds, Car and Driver and the like is a major design flaw in the rear camera. Everytime you slow below 15 mph the rear camera extends with a clunk. Mercedes says it is audibly designed that way so the driver knows it’s working. It’s so loud that you hear it constantly during stop and go traffic as you slow every time below 15 mph. It’s particularly embarrassing when you have friends in the backseat because they think something is wrong; AND IT IS! It sounds like a swipe of the rear wiper blade on a dry rear windshield. I’m shocked that it’s not revealed in magazine reviews by tech writers. All the Mercedes owner forums detail this design flaw. While Mercedes says it’s normal, I say bull. This is not what you would expect from German engineering.

2024 GLE 450 Luxury Features Don't Work
JSS, 12/18/2024
2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 450 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A)

I bought my first Benz SUV and totally disappointed with the reliability. Since the first week of owning the vehicle, I am not able to use the Seat memory positioning either via the key on the door or the personal code via the screen. The alerts for reverse direction does not work. As of yesterday 12/17/24, I was told that it is a known problem as per Mercedes and they do not have a ETA to fix. For the past five months since buying the vehicle, I was not able to use these features and it is frustrating. Don't buy this vehicle. I do not want to give even one start but that is the minimum I can.

Beautiful machine otherwise but makes intrusive clunk sound from rear at 15 mph when slowing down or stopping. Thought to be backup camera cover closing or opening. Dealer says “they all do that”

Rear Camera Excessive Noise

We bought the 2025 GLE 350 and the SUV overall is nice but the scraping/clunk noise the rear camera makes when it extends each time you slow below 16 mph is excessive. Mercedes says it’s normal as they ALL do that. I should have been more aware when we test drove it. Ruins the whole ownership experience. I can’t believe Edmunds doesn’t mention it in its review.
