For dedicated Mercedes-Benz lovers, the 2024 GLE-Class SUV shows the normal flair and features you’ve come to expect. However, in the competitive mid-size SUV segment, it faces stiff contest from rivals. Nevertheless, the Benz stands out with its beautiful design and advanced technology, offering a range of powertrains from a basic turbo inline-four to a strong twin-turbo V-8.
The standout feature of the interior is its monolithic dashboard display, which provides an expansive digital interface akin to Times Square. This feature can be either impressive or bothersome depending on personal preferences. Setting itself apart from competitors like the Genesis GV80 and the Volvo XC90, the Mercedes offers enhanced off-road capability, especially with the optional air suspension. This system can adjust ground clearance and even sway the GLE to maneuver out of tricky situations in sand or mud.
