Reviews SummarySummary: G-Wagens aside, the now-discontinued M-Class is what cemented Mercedes’ place in the SUV jungle. The descendent of that pioneering model is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, which continues as the automaker’s entry into a midsize luxury SUV segment populated by the Acura MDX, Audi Q7, BMW X5, Genesis GV80, and Lexus RX. Mercedes also sells a GLE Coupe that competes with the BMW X6. Changes for 2025 are limited to two new configurations—a GLE 350 SUV base model and GLE 450 4Matic Coupe—and several new paint colors. Verdict: The GLE-Class is a solid luxury SUV for families, but its competition is equally good. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2022 Maserati Levante is a midsize two-row luxury crossover SUV with a selection of twin-turbocharged engines, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive (AWD). With prices starting at $81,800 MSRP and rising past $156,200, the Levante brings capability and practicality along with genuine Italian performance (at an appropriately eye-popping price). This is a thirsty SUV; we like how it drives on all manner of roads, and the owner of our local gas station loves it, too. | |
