Reliable engines and over all performance, combined with a muscular looks, it’s best if f both worlds if you can get it the right price considering that how fast they depreciate, in my opinion it should not be more than 27k

Less features than my previous e class amg. Radio/cd sound quality poor. Less complete eg no compartments under the front seats, no surround under the rear seats. HOWEVER a brilliant large SUV. Compare to Range Rover.

Mercedes-Benz GLE Class (2018-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Luxurious cabin | Not as sporty as a BMW X5 |
| Models with air suspension are supremely comfortable | A Land Rover Discovery is roomier |
| The plug-in hybrid is tax-efficient for company car drivers | Mercedes performs poorly in reliability surveys |
Quick Summary
The Mercedes-Benz GLE Class (2018-present) is a large, premium SUV that sits above the GLC but below the GLS in Mercedes' lineup. Available as a conventional seven-seat SUV or as the sportier GLE Coupe, it competes directly with the BMW X5, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and Land Rover Discovery. The GLE prioritises comfort and luxury over sportiness, featuring a beautifully designed interior with premium materials and a range of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains to suit different needs.
Space is abundant, with excellent boot capacity of up to 630 litres in five-seat models, and the air suspension option delivers supremely comfortable motorway cruising. The plug-in hybrid 350de offers impressive fuel efficiency of up to 403.6mpg (official) for those with regular charging access, whilst diesel models like the 300d achieve around 40.4mpg. Running costs are substantial, with insurance starting at group 44 and AMG models in the highest group. Mercedes' fixed-price service plans provide cost certainty, starting at £37 per month.
Best for: Buyers seeking a refined, luxurious large SUV with excellent comfort, a wide range of powertrains, and those wanting tax-efficient company car options via the plug-in hybrid.
Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising sporty handling (like the BMW X5), maximum interior space (like the Land Rover Discovery), or those concerned about reliability ratings.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz GLE Class | 4/5 | 4.8/5 | 33.0% | 4.3/5 |
| BMW X5 | 5/5 | 4.3/5 | 33.1% | 4.5/5 |
| Audi Q7 | 5/5 | 4.6/5 | 34.3% | 4.5/5 |
| Land Rover Discovery | 4/5 | N/A | 35.8% | 4.1/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the GLE if: You're seeking a refined, luxurious large SUV with excellent comfort, a wide range of powertrains, or want a tax-efficient company car option via the plug-in hybrid.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise sporty handling, maximum interior space, or have concerns about reliability ratings.
Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz GLE Class is a strong contender in the premium large SUV segment, offering genuine luxury, a beautifully appointed interior, and excellent comfort, particularly with air suspension. Whilst the BMW X5 and Audi Q7 score slightly higher overall and offer sportier handling or more interior space respectively, the GLE excels at delivering a refined cruising experience. The plug-in hybrid variant provides exceptional fuel efficiency and tax benefits for company car drivers. For buyers prioritising comfort and prestige over sportiness, the GLE represents an excellent choice, though reliability concerns should be considered when making your decision.
