Overview
The Mercedes-Benz GLE is the brand's midsize luxury SUV. It's long been a popular choice for people wanting more interior space than what the smaller GLC offers. It's primarily a five-seat SUV, though there is an option for a small third-row seat that can be used in a pinch. For 2024, the GLE gets a significant update. Highlights include revised styling, a more luxurious interior, an upgraded infotainment system and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain option.
Cost to DriveCost to drive estimates for the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 350 4MATIC 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 9A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.74 per gallon for premium unleaded in Georgia.
The 2024 GLE 450e is the most exciting addition for this year. It pairs a turbocharged four-cylinder with plug-in hybrid componentry to increase both power and fuel efficiency compared to the base GLE 350. Though the 450e's official electric range figure was unavailable at the time of our review, our test vehicle covered an impressive 59 miles solely on battery power. After that, the 450e's gas engine kicks on and you can drive it as usual. As with all plug-in hybrids, frequent charging will make the most of the GLE 450e's capabilities. Notably, the 450e can be charged at DC fast-charging stations. Most plug-ins are limited to Level 2 charging.
Competitors to consider
The GLE competes with its fellow Germans, the Audi Q8, BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne, and other rivals such as the Genesis GV80 and Lexus RX. All are worthwhile picks for a luxury SUV, though the GLE stands out as Edmunds' top-rated model in this class. Read our test team's Expert Rating below to get the full report.

The Mercedes GLE is one of the best luxury SUVs on sale today. It brings the heat with a top-notch interior, exceptional build quality, helpful technology features and a diverse lineup of engines. This is a luxury SUV that quietly executes its job with ease.
How does the GLE-Class drive? We tested the GLE 450e, which has the plug-in hybrid powertrain. Overall, we're impressed by how easy it is to drive. With a charged battery, the SUV stays in electric mode unless you need all of its power at once, and when the engine kicks in it does so gracefully. At the Edmunds test track, our test vehicle accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in a respectable 5.7 seconds.
The steering feel is ultra-light. That's great for twirling around parking lots but not so great for giving you a feel for the road. Our GLE 450e also felt less stable and planted around turns compared to other versions of the GLE we've tested; the vehicle's extra mass from its plug-in hybrid components is likely to blame. But overall the GLE is a winner for city commutes and highway driving alike.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the GLE-Class? Interior comfort is a top reason to buy a Mercedes GLE. Our test vehicle came loaded with features such as rapid seat heating, seat ventilation and massage. Those add-ons, alongside the excellent climate control system, provide a truly relaxing experience. The optional brown leather and natural wood trim look nice but we actually prefer the feel of Mercedes' synthetic leather MB-Tex.
We also recommend skipping the adaptive air suspension. We've tested it on GLE models in the past and found it too floaty for everyday use. This GLE's standard suspension works just fine for riding comfortably while keeping the SUV in control.
Interior
9/10
How’s the interior? This is what a luxury SUV's interior should look like. The GLE's cabin is elegant and built with high-quality materials. The GLE's cabin is very spacious. There's plenty of room in both rows. The GLE does sit relatively high off the ground (especially on these 21-inch wheels), so speccing the running boards is a good idea for the shorter friends among us. The visibility from the driver's seat feels commanding, with plenty of seat adjustability to find the right angle.
We like the GLE's intuitive touchpad controller. Functions such as track/preset skipping, home and back are right on the pad, and it has useful haptic feedback. But the steering wheel touchpads are too easy to brush inadvertently and get an input that you didn't want.

How’s the tech? The GLE's touchscreen is bright and colorful, with high resolution and impressive response times. The menus can become confusing if you dig in too far, but the main features are just a press or two away. We love the augmented reality feature for the navigation system that overlays turn-by-turn integration atop a live camera view on the screen. The available Burmester audio system has a surround-sound option that fully envelops the driver in hi-fi lusciousness. You'll want to crank up every song for an immersive experience — too bad max volume isn't higher.
Rivals like Cadillac and BMW now offer hands-free driving assist features. The GLE doesn't yet offer such a system, but otherwise the vehicle's driving aids such as adaptive cruise control and lane keeping work well and are unobtrusive in routine driving.
Storage
8.5/10
How’s the storage? In some plug-in hybrids, storage takes a hit because of the battery pack intruding on cargo capacity. But that is not a worry with the GLE 450e. This Mercedes does have slightly less room than its gas-only counterpart but is still outstanding. It's also better than the majority of the competition. And considering how big the battery pack is, the packaging is even more impressive. The second row has a 60/40 split to help with longer items too. Storage for smaller personal items is plentiful.
Got small children? The back seat has easy-to-access car seat anchors, and there's plenty of room for even the bulkiest child safety seats. The GLE will also work out well if you plan to tow a trailer. Properly equipped, it's rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds, which is enough to handle most small or midsize trailers.

Fuel Economy
9/10
How’s the fuel economy? Fuel economy will vary widely depending on the version you pick. We tested the GLE 450e, which is the most frugal of the bunch. It's a plug-in hybrid, and we were able to drive it about 59 miles on a full battery before it switched over to typical hybrid operation. That's above average for a plug-in SUV. Once the battery was flat, our GLE posted 28 mpg in combined driving, which is still very good. As an added bonus the GLE 450e has the ability to use DC fast charging, giving it a nice edge over its plug-in hybrid rivals.
Value
8/10
Is the GLE-Class a good value? The GLE can get expensive when you load it up with a lot of options, but overall we think you're getting your money's worth. Build quality on our test GLE was excellent. If there is an unimpressive aspect to the GLE, it's the warranty coverage. The powertrain and bumper-to-bumper warranties are fairly standard four-year/50,000-mile offerings, but nearly every competitor offers more in the way of roadside assistance and corrosion protection coverage by some margin.
Wildcard
8/10
Non-AMG versions of the Mercedes-Benz GLE offer the quintessential luxury SUV experience. They might not have the most over-the-top styling or personality, but they tick every box they otherwise need to.
Which GLE-Class does Edmunds recommend?
It's hard to make a one-size-fits-all recommendation with this lineup due to the different powertrain types and many models. But for most folks, we'd recommend the GLE 450e. The plug-in hybrid is the same price as the regular GLE 450, but you get the added bonus of more power and enough all-electric range to make it through most days without using any gas at all.
Drove off the dealer lot in my new GLE450e, with 8 miles on it. Within two hours, at 16 miles, the hood latch alarm activated and the car would not stay in EV mode. Visual inspection showed the hood was not aligned with right fender, but it was when I left the dealer. Drove back to the dealer and the hood unlatched while driving with a service tech in the car. Service manager thinks … one latch is defective. Received a loaner. Had the car less than four hours, and it suffered a serious safety issue. I was planning on a trip the following day, and I hate to think that the hood could have unlatched and caused me to have an accident at highway speeds. I will update this post when it is repaired. How does a car with an issue like this pass quality control inspections at the factory and at the dealer?
I purchased my 2024 GLE450E in September 2023. Shortly after 40 days, with less than 1,000 miles on the car, the service engine light came on. The dealership did not get me in for two weeks, but gave me the car back the next day telling me the car is good to go. 13 miles after picking the car up, the dashboard reported "Performance Extremely Limited" followed by something like "Pull … over and Stop Immediately", at which point the accelerator pedal did nothing. A tow back to the shop resulted in 7 days in the shop. Three days after picking up the car at the chop again, the car reported "Performance Extremely Limited". I switched it to Battery Hold which let me drive the 1.5 miles back home to have it towed back to the shop. About 42 days later I was told the car was ready to be picked up, this was the end of December 2023. Mid-February the Service Engine light came back on resulting in another day in the shop, apparently a sensor in the charging port door. At no time has anyone from AutoNation nor Mercedes Benz offered any compensation, a replacement for what seems to be a Lemon. AutoNation has simply told me Mercedes Benz will ask them what I want, but Mercedes Benz has asked me what AutoNation has offered. Note that when the car's service engine light came on the first time, I lifted the hood and noticed an air delivery hose completely detached and another whose clamps were completely disengaged. When towing the second time, I noticed a twisted pair wire hanging under the car between the muffler and the bumper. These items indicate, to me, the car was not assembled properly, perhaps why it is spending so much time in the shop. I cannot recommend any AutoNation dealership nor Mercedes Benz who has not called me back after filing a complaint with them in late December / Early January. They have my money and do not care, clearly.
I test drove quite a few luxury SUVs before the GLE 450, but then I finally tried it... Love at first sight. At present I've driven it for over a year, and still can't suppress a huge smile every time I climb in - It only gets better with time.
It's more than the sum of the parts. Sure, excellent build quality, beautiful materials inside, butter smooth inline six engine with more than … enough power, great handling, all the fancy tech you could want, more leather than a herd of cows... Blah blah, I could go on. But the real magic happens in how all those things come together into one incredible vehicle. It's not the flashiest looking SUV in its category, or the fastest. It's not trying to be a sports car, or an off-road mud crawler, or anything else it's not. It is unapologetically a luxury vehicle and oozes the quiet confidence of something designed exactly for that purpose by people who knew exactly what they were doing and did their job with focus and pathological attention to detail. There are other SUVs I tried that ticked most or all of the same boxes, objectively good machines, but they didn't even come close to the GLE.
If I had to pick one thing to highlight, it would be the interior: The first thing you'll notice is how elegant it looks and feels, and those prominent twin screens in the dash (which don't stick out of the top like they were an afterthought as in so many other cars). Exclusive to the pinnacle trim is a crisp heads-up display that I absolutely love and can't live without now. The HUD works fine in direct sunlight, and when using the built-in navigation it displays a map floating before your eyes, which feels like you're driving in a video game. Every interaction with the car's interior and infotainment system feels well thought out and well executed. Seats are very comfortable and the massage function (with quite a few different massage programs available) is better than I ever imagined it would be. When winter came, I got another pleasant surprise: It's not just the seats and steering wheel that are heated. The door panels and center console are also heated, which feels amazing when it's freezing out, and you can adjust which areas receive more heat.
The worst trend in modern cars, if you ask me, is moving virtually every single function into awkward touchscreen menus... I tried an otherwise nice 2024 BMW X5 that was ruined by a particularly horrible example of this. The GLE ignores this trend and includes buttons for everything important. Nice, solid feeling, satisfying, tactile, real buttons! These buttons are laid out in a way that makes sense, as if the engineers knew that a car should stay out of your way and just let you focus on driving. I've never needed to use the touchscreen while driving: All your climate settings, heated/cooled seats and seat adjustments, exterior 360 camera view, maps, phone interface have real physical controls, and I sincerely hope they keep it that way in future models. As in other Benzes, you also get a laptop-like touchpad in the center console (surrounded by buttons for the map, cameras, drive modes, etc.) which works nicely and allows you to do things like navigate on-screen menus or scroll through your music without using the touchscreen. The touchpad also includes a nice wrist rest behind it, making it easy to use without looking down at it. There's also a voice assistant, but I rarely use it since everything important has physical controls.
Speaking of the center console, that's another aspect worth noting. It's large, elegant, solid, and features two sturdy grab bars on either side. These serve two purposes: Making you feel like you're in a spaceship, and making it easier for older or disabled people to get into the car. Just another of the small details that really add up to something special.
Honorable mention goes to the engine and handling. The inline six in the GLE 450 is smooth as butter and more than powerful enough, featuring both a large turbo and an electric supercharger to pick up the slack while the turbo spools up, and a 48V mild hybrid system that gives it a nice extra acceleration boost when you take off. And that sound... When you floor it, the engine goes from quiet and polite to a roaring beast with just the right amount of audible turbo noise. That never gets old. Handling is excellent.
Other nice things worth mentioning:
- It comes with excellent Pirelli all-season tires, not run-flats, and includes a real spare tire! Many other cars today come with run-flats and a near-useless inflator kit instead of a spare tire, since it's cheaper.
- There's a built-in dashcam feature, you just need to pay $200 one-time to activate it and buy a USB-C memory stick for storage. It records in 720p from one of the windshield cameras.
- All the accessories that would normally run off a belt from the engine (coolant pump, air conditioner, etc) instead run off the 48V electrical system. This means when it's 110 degrees outside and the engine shuts off at a stop light (which you can still disable) the A/C keeps working at full capacity. Incidentally, the A/C is noticeably more powerful than any other car I've driven and cools the car down FAST.
- The Burmester sound system is freaking awesome.
And now for the few minor details that I think could use improvement. These aren't problems by any means, but worth mentioning:
- When using the remote start, the engine will shut off once you open the door. Remote start is also limited to run for only 10 minutes, and can only be used twice in a row before manually starting the engine. This isn't exclusive to the GLE by any means though, and may be a mandatory limitation in some countries.
- No sunglasses holder in the roof area - This seems to be common in German cars; I don't know why.
- Interior could use more storage space besides the glovebox and center console.
- Fragrance canister (pinnacle trim only) takes up a little space inside the glovebox and isn't really something I care about, but if you want the HUD and massaging seats (trust me, if you're already shelling out the cash for a Benz, you want those) you're getting that too.
- Adaptive cruise control and other automated driving features require the Driver Assist Plus package, which is a little annoying since those features come standard in many other cars that cost 1/3 the price of a Mercedes. This is another thing that seems to be common with German cars; BMW does the same.
Conclusion: Expensive? Yes. Worth every penny? Yes, and then some.
Specific model: 2024 GLE 450 4Matic, pinnacle trim, warmth and comfort package, driver assist plus package, AMG line exterior with 21" multi-spoke wheels.
This is an edited review after initially 5 star. Going into sixth week and some problems are beginning to make the ownership experience somewhat regrettable. On the plus side it’s luxurious with a great ride and I’m getting 64 miles per charge which is great, it’s like an EV with unlimited range. However, one of the features I was looking forward to benefiting from, augmented reality … navigation, can’t be used in practice because it’s virtually impossible to search for a destination in the first place, so it’s back to CarPlay. And a terrible rattle has developed in the sun roof. The level 2 charger that came with the car has also developed problems. I’m souring on this collection of “features” that seem poorly tested and thrown together to check boxes on a feature list. Will update if anything changes for better or worse.
These Are the Best Luxury SUVs You Can Buy in 2024
Got a taste (and a budget) for the finer things in life? A luxury SUV might be right up your alley, and there are a whole lot to choose from. Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of all the best. In this video, Edmunds’ Nick Yekikian tells you all about the best luxury SUVs on sale in 2024 and why we love them.
For 2024, Mercedes-Benz has given its midsize GLE SUV a significant update. It's not fully redesigned but the 2024 GLE does have freshened styling, a more luxurious interior, an upgraded infotainment system and a new plug-in hybrid powertrain option. The GLE continues to be larger and more expensive than the brand's GLA, GLB and GLC SUVs. In this alphabet-soup family, Mercedes-Benz also makes the slightly smaller EQE SUV, which is the all-electric counterpart of the GLE. This midsize luxury SUV typically seats five, but it can be optioned with a third row with two additional seats. Key rivals include the Audi Q8, BMW X5, Genesis GV80, Lexus RX and Porsche Cayenne.
What's under the GLE's hood?
Whew, there are a lot of flavors and toppings in a 2024 GLE sundae. Starting with the very same 255-horsepower 2.0-liter engine as the GLC, the base GLE 350 comes standard with all-wheel drive (Mercedes-Benz calls it 4Matic). Step up to the GLE 450 4Matic for a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine making 375 horses, and the GLE 580 4Matic is equipped with a stout 4.0-liter V8 for 510 hp.
But wait ... there's more. Just like an infomercial, the options seem to go on and on. On top of these basic four engine combinations, the AMG performance variant trots out a parade of power. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 is propelled by an enhanced 3.0-liter six-cylinder good for 429 hp. This is the same horsepower output as last year but Mercedes says it produces more torque and accelerates a bit quicker than before. And at the top of the food chain, the AMG GLE 63 is set up with a sweet handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 making a thumping 603 hp.
And what about the new GLE plug-in hybrid?
Yep, there's that one, too. The new GLE 450e 4Matic plug-in hybrid pairs a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with plug-in hybrid components to produce a combined 381 hp. As with all plug-ins, it can drive a certain distance on all-electric power before its engine fires up and drives more like a typical hybrid vehicle. As of our review's publication, Mercedes had yet to say how far the GLE 450e can drive on a single charge. As a rough guess, we'd expect it to be similar to the plug-in-hybrid version of BMW's X5, which can go 30 miles. Notably, Mercedes says the GLE 450e 4Matic can be charged at a public DC fast-charging station in addition to a 240-volt power source. Most other plug-in vehicles can't be DC fast-charged. In theory, this means you'll be able to more quickly charge up your GLE at a DC station while you're out and about to make the most of its electric capability.
How does the GLE drive?
While the 2024 GLE benefits from subtle aesthetic changes, like new front bumpers, updated LED running lights and fresh wheel designs, it's the upgraded performance that gets us excited. As you might expect, the GLE drives and handles beautifully. The AMG GLE 53 we tested now has a larger turbo and updated software for 413 lb-ft of torque, compared to 384 lb-ft last year. Mercedes-Benz says it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Hold onto your hat, because the AMG GLE 63 S can go the same distance in 3.7 seconds and zooms up to 174 mph. Easy, tiger.
Previously, the performance exhaust was not standard in the AMG GLE 53, and it's a must-have. The SUV makes beautiful sounds on the downshifts. Braking is similarly impressive, as the wide tires and large brakes slow the GLE down quickly and smoothly without so much as a tremble. We found that using the Sport or Sport+ throttle mode was the most enjoyable when paired with the Comfort suspension setting. The SUV tackles twisty roads with aplomb while still keeping passengers from feeling jostled.
How comfortable is the GLE?
The front and back seats in the AMG GLE 53 are supremely soft and well shaped. An available massage function is sublime, with choices like "hot stone massage" to improve the ride. It would be even better if the massage function needed one simple button to activate it instead of having to dive into the infotainment system to get there.
Inside the cabin, road noise is minimal, which bodes well for music aficionados who want to enjoy the available high-quality Burmester audio system. The only noise you might notice is likely coming from the wheelwells as air circulates around the tires, and even so it's not intrusive. Choosing the third-row option in the GLE means two more spots for passengers, though those seats are best reserved for children.
How's the GLE's interior?
Wide door openings and a cocoon-like vibe with 64 colors of ambient light give the GLE an otherworldly quality. Every AMG comes with leather upholstery, and two new color options are quite fetching. We were fans of the Macchiato Beige/Black combination in our test car, and the now-standard heated seats and ventilated front seats are much appreciated. You can even choose both at the same time so that on a warm summer day the heater can soothe a tired back while cool air keeps you from overheating.
The GLE has a new steering wheel with integrated sensor controls that require only a light touch to activate. Thumbing up and down through different speeds while using cruise control may be slightly difficult for those with medium to larger hands due to the canted spokes, but it's otherwise nicely engineered. Large, easy-to-access buttons on the wheel of the AMG GLE 53 allow the driver to quickly make decisions about the drive mode, exhaust options and some performance characteristics.
Everything in the cabin is very touchable and worthy of its luxury status. Only the vent design across the dashboard stands out as lacking imagination. Across the board, the interior is well designed and makes a statement that's unmistakably on brand for Mercedes-Benz.
How's the GLE's tech?
Mercedes-Benz is currently in its second generation of its MBUX infotainment system, and it has so many positive attributes that we gave it a 9.5 out of 10 for the 2023 GLE model.
It's connected to two 12.3-inch displays, one packed with digital information for the driver and the other providing a full menu for the vehicle in the center. Wireless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is now available in the GLE, and connecting a device is a seamless operation.
In AMG models, augmented reality navigation is standard, as is a surround-view system with what Mercedes-Benz calls its new "transparent hood" feature. Software stitches all of the 360-degree camera angles together to create a virtual view of the wheels and steering position, which comes in handy when traveling across terrain that isn't perfectly smooth.
The updated "Hey, Mercedes" voice assistant is quite attentive and has the ability to follow commands in conversational language like "Hey, Mercedes ... I'm cold" and it will respond by warming up the cabin. But we did notice during our test drive that it was a bit too in tune, and if we used the word "Mercedes" at all in conversation, the system would pipe up eagerly and demand a command.
Edmunds says
Mercedes-Benz says it's focused on comfort for the GLE line, but it's not leaving performance behind. On the contrary, this vehicle is more fun than ever to drive. Whatever you're looking for from your next midsize luxury SUV, the 2024 GLE is very likely to have it.
