The model
Read full New Mercedes GLE reviewWith a smart interior, a wide range of engines and comfortable cruising manners, there’s plenty to like about the Mercedes GLE. The main issue is that there are rivals that are even more practical, comfortable or better to drive. The 300d makes the most sense, while company car drivers will do well with one of the PHEVs. You’ll need AMG Line Premium trim to get seven seats, otherwise we recommend Urban Edition.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is the entry-level trim for the GLE. It comes well equipped, with 21in alloy wheels, a powered tailgate, rear privacy glass, LED headlights, ambient lighting, keyless entry, heated front seats and two-zone climate control.
The engine
See full engine specsThis mid-level performance version brings a bit more pace without compromising too much on everyday usability and cost. It uses a 3.0 six-cylinder motor to produce more power than the regular 450 petrol, with 429bhp and 413Nm of torque, reducing the 0-62mph time to 5.0sec.
