CarTell take
We haven't driven the GLE yet. On paper, the GLE 350 d is now the entry point at $142,300 plus on-roads. Options inflate the drive-away figure past $190,000 quickly.
Why consider it
- 110 km WLTP EV range on the GLE 450e is the longest in the segment.
- 3,500 kg braked tow across all three core drivetrains, and the only German rival with an optional seven-seat configuration.
What to know
- Third row is a $3,400 paid option rather than standard at this price.
- PHEV boot drops to 490 L due to battery packaging.
- MBUX touch-button steering wheel is fiddly on the move.
Who it suits
Premium large SUV buyers who want the longest PHEV range in the segment, optional seven-seat capacity, and proper 3,500 kg tow capability across every drivetrain.
