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 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. | |
