2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE

The GLE is very impressive

Thursday, April 08, 2021

Have only about 1000 miles on my GLE 350. The interior is best in class, exterior is conservative however tasteful unlike the Lexus RX , which IMHO is drastic and has become boring. The 350 is not quick from a dead stop, in all other situations power is more than adequate. Cruising at 90mph is effortless and extremely comfortable. Problems I’ve encountered thus far is an inconsistent whistling sound from driver’s side mirror, gas tank filler door is not perfectly flush with body. Both are items I have chosen to just live with for now. The 450 is probably better suited for this vehicle, however it is about $6k more and for 95% of all driving situations is realistically not needed. Tested the Lexus RX as well as the BMW X5 , eliminated the RX rather quickly, and the X5 just seemed to be a generation behind, however a great vehicle. There are many posts talking about problems with the GLE and how Mercedes has come down in quality, I hope that it is not true. I’ve had 2 BMWs and 5 Mercedes and quality has not been an issue with any of them. Most owners would not bother posting anything if there were no problems, therefore we are overwhelmingly reading the posts of individuals experiencing some issues, however minor they may be. I love driving my GLE 350, and I have zero second thoughts regarding my decision.

Broke down with less than 1000 miles

Friday, October 28, 2022

Less than 2 months old and less than 1000 miles towed back to dealership due to check engine and temp warning lights. Dealership in Melbourne Florida refused a loaner and told us to call our insurance company. After heated exchanges they offered to rent us a car, but we had to travel 30 or so miles to the dealership to get it. Suggested we ride in the tow truck. Come on. $70k and promises of excellent service and this is what we got? Very disappointed in both the car and dealership.

I love it, it is my first Mercedes, I have had all kinds of utility vehicles, Porsche cayenne, macan, BMW x5, x3, Toyota land cruiser, Audi q5, and I tell you change me For Mercedes Benz GLE 450 2020, good response, it is comfortable She feels safe, she has poise in the curves, I love all the electronics, the truck is beautiful, it looks like a bear, I took it to Georgia, in the mountains I proved it offroad, excellent, I only ask for some more mixed tires, I am Adventurer, happy family, comfortable in adventure, we saw bears, we passed rivers, I would buy it again, I recommend the 450 is the most adventurous, 350 lacks character, the 53 amg more city.
