Why it stands out

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE stands out as a luxury SUV that blends a familiar, conservative Mercedes-Benz character with a major step forward in technology and space. The second-generation model arrived in 2019 and is slightly larger than before, with a 3.1-inch longer wheelbase that creates extra rear legroom. Five seats are standard, and optional third-row seats could be specified when new for seven-seat capacity. Its cabin is a clear highlight, with a sweeping dashboard design, huge display screens, and ambient lighting on some models that gives the interior a more dramatic feel than the exterior suggests.

Powertrain variety is another defining trait. Most models had some form of hybrid technology from the start, while the entry-level GLE 350 used a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four gas engine and rear-wheel drive in standard form. Above that, the GLE 450 4Matic paired a 3.0-liter inline-six turbo engine with mild-hybrid technology and 362 horsepower, and the GLE 580 4Matic used a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 483 horsepower. The range also included the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic with 429 horsepower and the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4Matic with 603 horsepower, 627 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds. That breadth makes the 2019 GLE appealing to buyers who want everything from relaxed luxury to serious performance.

It is also well equipped, even in early entry-level form, with features such as a rear-view camera, power tailgate, heated and electrically adjustable front seats, dual-zone climate control, a power sunroof, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration, and LED headlights. The main tradeoffs are that high-end versions are expensive and some models can be heavy on fuel, with the most powerful AMG version rated at about 17 mpg combined. Still, the 2019 GLE’s mix of comfort, space, technology, and powertrain choice is what makes it distinctive.
