Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE earns 4.8/5 from owners and 8/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise the luxurious feel, sporty performance, stylish design, and high-quality features. The GLE also fits buyers who want a comfortable, upscale cabin with plenty of space, especially if you value a premium family SUV with broad powertrain choice.

The main trade-offs are fairly pedestrian handling and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. Even so, the lineup’s mix of comfort, performance, and utility makes it appealing if you want a luxury midsize SUV that can serve daily driving and family duty well.

With 34.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Drivers describe the GLE as luxurious and high-quality, and the ownership experience is often framed around comfort, refinement, and confidence in the vehicle’s overall feel. The expert review also points to smooth operation from the plug-in hybrid powertrain, including a seamless switch between electric and gas power.

Mercedes also backs the 450e with battery coverage that extends beyond the basic warranty, which helps reduce some ownership anxiety for used buyers. Still, expensive maintenance costs and depreciation are worth keeping in mind if you plan to hold the SUV for the long term.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with expensive options. Focus on condition, service records, and whether the features you want are actually present on the specific vehicle you’re looking at.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin gets a refreshed look with plenty of leather and soft-touch surfaces, and the optional AMG Line package adds a more aggressive exterior appearance. Standard 19-inch wheels are included, while 21-inch wheels are available if you want a more upscale stance.
• Powertrain: You can choose from the GLE 350, GLE 450, GLE 580, AMG GLE 53, AMG GLE 63 S, and the GLE 450e plug-in hybrid. The 450e is the efficiency play, with strong electric range and smooth transitions between electric and gas power.
• Safety package: Blind-spot monitoring is standard, while the Driver Assistance Package Plus adds active blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, and lane-change assist. That package is extra, so verify whether a used example has it.
• Infotainment: The GLE uses a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch MBUX screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the system also supports voice control and augmented reality navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The 450e is rated at 58 MPGe in hybrid mode and 24 mpg on gasoline alone. The GLE 350 is rated at 23 mpg combined, the GLE 450 at 22 mpg combined, and the GLE 580 at 17 mpg combined.

Which 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE is offered in 6 trim levels: GLE 350, GLE 450, GLE 580, AMG GLE 53, AMG GLE 63 S, and GLE 450e.

Here's the short version:

• GLE 350: This is the entry point if you want the least expensive way into the GLE lineup, but you should expect the simplest version of the SUV’s luxury and tech experience.
• GLE 450: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and balances performance, comfort, and equipment well.
• GLE 580: Choose this if you want the strongest non-AMG gas powertrain and are willing to pay more for it.
• AMG GLE 53: This is for you if you want a more performance-focused GLE without going all the way to the top AMG model.
• AMG GLE 63 S: Pick this if outright performance is your priority and you want the most aggressive version in the lineup.
• GLE 450e: This is the smart pick if you want the sweet spot between performance and efficiency, plus the strongest efficiency story in the range.

Advanced safety features are not standard, so check whether a used example has the Driver Assistance Package Plus.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,323 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.41% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $57,570, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE's resale value?

The current average of $57,570 sits slightly below last year's $64,259.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can be good news if you’re buying now but less favorable if you’re thinking about future resale. A lower entry price can help cushion depreciation, but the model’s premium positioning still means value retention will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment.

Because shoppers tend to respond well to a well-equipped luxury SUV with strong owner satisfaction, a clean, properly maintained GLE should remain easier to sell than a neglected one. The strongest resale prospects will likely come from examples with desirable features and clear service history.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE safe?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE has not received an overall or frontal crash rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), but it earned a five-star rating for a side crash and four-out-of-five stars for a rollover.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Blind-spot monitoring is standard, and the Driver Assistance Package Plus adds active blind-spot monitoring with steering intervention, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, and lane-change assist. Those features work well, but they cost extra, so you should confirm whether a used example has the package.

The IIHS gave the GLE its top “Good” marks across crashworthiness, crash avoidance and mitigation, and seat belts and child restraints. Cars equipped with Mercedes’ Digital Light package earned an “Acceptable” headlight rating.

Should I buy a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 34.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 adds a facelift, upgraded interior and infotainment, and a new plug-in hybrid option.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $50,395, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $57,570 average.
• It emphasizes prestige, practicality, and a polished cabin with strong ride quality.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $62,980, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $57,570 average.
• It mainly adds new configurations and paint colors rather than a major redesign.

The bottom line: If you want the newest updates and the broadest mix of powertrains, the 2024 is the better target. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the more budget-friendly path, while the 2025 makes sense only if you specifically want the newer model-year packaging and are comfortable paying more.
