Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Working with a mild-hybrid system, the 2026 GLE 450’s turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine generates 375 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, fed to the wheels through a nine-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: In the 2026 GLE, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system runs on a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen that live side-by-side.
• Safety: The GLE’s standard safety tech is limited for an expensive luxury SUV, and many features are reserved for the $1,950 Driver Assistance Package.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
