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 offers a luxurious, comfortable cruising experience rather than sporty handling. The interior is beautifully designed with high-quality materials, and space is abundant, particularly for front and middle-row passengers. Boot space is excellent at 630 litres in five-seat models, and the plug-in hybrid variant offers impressive fuel efficiency of up to 403.6mpg for those with regular charging access.
The GLE comes with a range of diesel, petrol, and plug-in hybrid powertrains, all paired with a nine-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. The diesel models, particularly the 300d and 350d, suit the GLE's character best, offering smooth performance and good fuel economy. Air suspension on higher trims provides supreme comfort on motorway journeys, though the car can feel heavy on twisty roads. Running costs are substantial, with insurance starting at group 44, but Mercedes offers fixed-price service plans from £37 monthly. For those seeking a refined, luxurious family SUV with genuine presence and a wide range of models, the GLE delivers on occasion and comfort.
Best for: Buyers seeking a luxurious, comfortable large SUV, families needing spacious seating, company car drivers interested in the tax-efficient plug-in hybrid, and those prioritising premium interior quality and refinement.
Not ideal for: Drivers wanting sporty handling comparable to a BMW X5, those requiring maximum interior space like a Land Rover Discovery, or buyers concerned about reliability ratings and lower running costs.
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 | 29.3% | 4.3/5 |
| BMW X5 | 5/5 | 4.3/5 | 32.4% | 4.5/5 |
| Land Rover Discovery | 4/5 | N/A | 40.2% | 4.1/5 |
| Audi Q7 | 5/5 | 4.6/5 | 32.9% | 4.5/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the GLE if: You prioritise luxury and comfort, seek a refined cruiser for family journeys, want a plug-in hybrid option for tax efficiency, or desire a wide range of models from comfortable to high-performance AMG variants.
Consider alternatives if: You need maximum interior space like the Discovery, prefer sporty handling like the BMW X5, or are concerned about reliability ratings and higher running costs.
Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz GLE Class (2018-present) is a strong contender in the premium large SUV segment, excelling in luxury, comfort, and refinement. Whilst the BMW X5 offers sportier handling and the Land Rover Discovery provides more space, the GLE delivers genuine occasion and a beautifully appointed interior. Its plug-in hybrid variant is particularly appealing for company car drivers seeking tax efficiency. The Audi Q7 matches it for quality, but the GLE's air suspension and range of powertrains make it a compelling choice for those prioritising comfort and premium feel over outright practicality or driving dynamics.
