Nice review! We just took delivery of our GLE AMG63s and are absolutely blown away by the car. Build quality, luxury, performance...all incredible. You really feel special in this car. I've never had a Mercedes before but I'm thinking I'll never be without one in the future..:)
Great review! I have a 2022 GLE 350 4 Matic in this color and really like it. I like it so much I am trying to figure out if the 2024 model would be an improvement over the 2022 model due the hybrid system. Do you have any thoughts about that? I have the MB tex vinyl and not the leather and it is surprisingly very nice. But, I have been wondering about the leather. Any thoughts about that as well. On another note many people have been apprehensive about getting the 4 cylinder model and I can tell you it works really well even for a vehicle this size. I commute over a 100 miles one way on the highway and I get in traffic as well. This vehicle is excellent on the highway and gets good gas mileage with the 4 cylinder and I can accelerate when I need to and pass on the highway.
They forgot to mention the annoying clunking sound that occurs when the rear camera activates when crossing above or below 18 mph. Ruins a very quiet car.
I just take my new GLE 300d ... the only difference with 450 is 300d is little bit slower in the start ... l prefer and give my money for full extras equipment and l'm not regret...Fantastic Car!!!
7 reasons why you shouldn`t buy a GLE 350. - 0-60 , 8 seconds.That`s slower than a Grand Cherokee with an engine older than the hills. - Some of the worst reliabilty ratings of any SUV out there. Certainly the worst Merc right now - Performs like a Highlander for more than twice the price. Totally overpriced car. - Suspension like a Pretzel. This thing handles like a rubber duck. - If you like to spend 65 K on plastic seats, go right ahead. - Be prepared to fix the brakes (including rotors) every 25K miles - You can get an X5 50e for the same money. Double the horsepower and air suspension. But hey, there`s good news. Here is why you should buy one: You don`t know the first thing about cars and neither do the folks who think you bought a great SUV. You think Mickey Mouse screens, cartoonish displays and disco lights are the most important thing in a new car. You don`t care about tons of issues with your car cause you got a Merc. And last but not least, you want to drive a Merc but can`t afford a real one. Kind a like the C-Class buyers who think they drive a baby S-Class. It`s nowhere near an S-Class; it`s a joke with as bad an engine as this ridiculous GLE.

I am about to buy this car here in Frankfurt Germany
Really nice interior
I’m not Germany what the average cost for yearly maintains?
Curious what is the price in Germany ?
I test drove the ML and GLE back to back, I knew they were same cars but thought ML drove and handled clearly better. Can someone explain???
GLE is larger. Also check and compare the ground clearance between the two.
They forgot to mention the annoying clunking sound that occurs when the rear camera activates when crossing above or below 18 mph. Ruins a very quiet car.
I’m having a hard time trying to decide between a GLE 350 or 450!
I'm in the same boat but decided to go with the 350 as the saving per year on fuel is worth it

I own both a 2023 350 GLE SUV and a 2024 580 GLE SUV. No comparison I will never again buy a 4 banger---NO POWER.

Wayyy overpriced, 75K car comes with a crappy 2 liter engine, no adaptive cruise control and mercedes reliability... No thank you!
I think you need to do your research before being a key board worrier
