Reviews SummaryThis midsize Mercedes SUV gets a facelift for 2024 that includes an upgraded interior and infotainment system as well as some new styling cues. Mercedes’ 4matic all-wheel drive system is standard across the lineup, as is seating for five, though a small third row is an option. Models include the GLE 350, GLE 450, and GLE 580, all with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Also on tap are the AMG GLE 53 and AMG GLE 63 S. However, new for this year, and the primary tester for this review, is the GLE 450e with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Verdict: A new plug-in hybrid powertrain helps the GLE hit a sweet spot between performance and efficiency. Elsewhere, this is classic Mercedes: big and beautiful with plenty of luxury touches and great space. These aren’t inexpensive SUVs, but then again, Mercedes is one of the principal faces of the pricey luxury market. | |
Reviews SummaryThere are two kinds of Porsche buyers. The first group buys them because they’re Porsches. So does the second group. The difference between the two is that the first group buys Porsches because of the emblems glittering on the bodywork, while the second group buys Porsches for what the wizards in Weissach devise for use under the bodywork. The new 2021 Porsche Cayenne Coupe GTS is for that second group of buyers. | |
