Used 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE for Sale nearRaleigh, NC

How much does the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE cost?

Prices have softened 10.68% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,440 listings available, which suggests you have a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE a good car?

Yes — it earns a 4.8/5 user rating and an 8/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.

Drivers consistently praise the luxurious feel, stylish design, and high-quality features. The broad range of powertrains also stands out, especially for shoppers who want both performance and efficiency in one SUV.

The main trade-offs are fairly pedestrian handling and the fact that advanced safety features are not standard. For you, that means the GLE makes the most sense if you value comfort, upscale presentation, and flexibility more than sharp driving dynamics.

With 36.5% 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.

User feedback points to a luxurious, high-quality experience, along with a sense that the SUV delivers the kind of refinement buyers expect from a premium nameplate. The powertrain lineup also supports confidence in everyday use, with a broad mix of options that can suit different driving needs.

The test-drive notes reinforce that the GLE’s plug-in hybrid setup switches smoothly between electric and gas power, which is a good sign for day-to-day dependability. The maintenance and ownership picture is less carefree, though, because drivers also flag expensive upkeep and depreciation as concerns.

For used buyers, the biggest long-term risk is that ownership costs can climb quickly even if the vehicle itself feels solid.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-priced examples with more options. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the equipment on the car matches what you expect for the trim and package mix.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes a broad spread of luxury and performance-oriented versions, and the base setup already brings a polished cabin and standard all-wheel drive. Higher trims add more power and more upscale equipment, so you should compare feature content carefully if you want the best value.
• Powertrain: You get multiple choices, including a 255-horsepower entry engine, a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, a 4.0-liter V8, and a plug-in hybrid setup that emphasizes both performance and efficiency. The plug-in hybrid is the standout if you want the strongest balance of range and everyday usability.
• 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 helpful, but it is not included on every vehicle.
• Infotainment: The cabin uses a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch MBUX screen, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus over-the-air-style convenience through voice and touch controls. If you want the most modern tech feel, make sure the system works smoothly in the specific vehicle you’re considering.
• Fuel efficiency: The plug-in hybrid is rated at 58 MPGe in hybrid mode and 24 mpg on gasoline alone, while the standard gas models are rated at 23 mpg combined, 22 mpg combined, and 17 mpg combined depending on engine choice.

Which 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE is offered in 5 trim levels: GLE 350, GLE 450, GLE 580, AMG GLE 53, AMG GLE 63 S.

Here's the short version:

• GLE 350: This is the entry point, and it makes the most sense if you want the GLE’s upscale cabin, standard all-wheel drive, and broad luxury appeal without paying for extra power you may not need.
• GLE 450: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds a stronger six-cylinder setup while staying within the core luxury mission of the SUV.
• GLE 580: Choose this if you want the top non-AMG gas powertrain and are willing to pay for the extra performance.
• AMG GLE 53: This is for you if you want a more performance-focused version without jumping all the way to the most extreme AMG model.
• AMG GLE 63 S: This is the top performance choice, aimed at buyers who want the most aggressive version in the lineup.

The safety package is not standard, so check whether the vehicle you’re considering 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 pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 3,440 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.68% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $55,190, 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 $55,190 sits slightly below last year's $61,792.

That price movement suggests the GLE has already absorbed some depreciation, which can be helpful if you buy used and later resell. For a future seller, the softer market means you may not recover as much as an original owner would hope, especially if your vehicle has expensive options or higher mileage.

Even so, the model’s strong user satisfaction helps support demand. 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 earns Good ratings from IIHS and a five-star side-crash rating and four-star rollover rating from NHTSA.

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 verify whether a used example has the package if advanced driver assistance matters to you.

One caveat is that advanced safety features are not standard, so a lower-spec vehicle may leave you with less assistance than you expect.

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:

• 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.68% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• A new plug-in hybrid powertrain helps the GLE hit a sweet spot between performance and efficiency.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $48,241, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $55,190 average.
• It emphasizes prestige, practicality, and agile handling.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $60,849, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $55,190 average.
• It adds two new configurations and several new paint colors.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of updated tech, strong satisfaction, and a softer used-market price, the 2024 is the smart default. If your priority is saving money, the 2023 is the better value path; if you want the newest configuration choices, look to the 2025.
