This doesn’t have adaptive cruise control. It’s part of the add on Driver Assistance Package for about $2k extra.

My husband surprise me and purchase my Mercedes GLE 350 for my retired gift and I love it.

It’s crazy that it went from $57k to $62k base MSRP just for default 4matic mild hybrid and some minor updates. 👎

Oh god i gottta have this its so good looking but at least 450

2016-2018 GLE is the BEST by far
Non turbo so no breakdowns and basic maintenance
Also they cone RWD

I got my 2024 GLE 350 a little over a week ago here in NJ and i love it! i traded in my 2020 sq5 so its been an adjustment LOL but i love the vehicle very much! nice review

I owned the 2023 GLE350 2 times, and 2024 1 time. This vehicle did not change at all when compared to even the 2020. Still can’t understand how what should be standard isn’t like heated mirrors or lane assist.

I agree the I 4 isn’t enough power, it’s a heavy vehicle.

[anthonyflexas]

I had one of these and really loved it my only complaint is the 2.0L, for a $75k it’s just “enough”.

[manuchauhan]

Why no comments on suspension? Is AIRMATIC an option for 350? Don’t see many 450s also with this option. Is it not a must for a good smooth ride?

[kazukinakamura]

do you prefer AWS over RWD? I feel like I want AWD for when it rains.

[brooklynknightss]

I have the 2021 gle and never feels under power!!!

[steeven]

I am still debating if I should go with this or go electric

I have a question about the wear of the tires. We have a 2021 Mercedes GLE350. Needed to change back tires at 19k miles and the front at 23k miles. We were toled the safety of the brakes kick in before you touch the brakes and this wears the tires a lot faster. Any truth to that? The car came with contential tires now we have Perilies tires both rated for 45k miles. If you have any thoughts or information on our concerns please let us know. Thank you for taking the time to reading and answering our questions. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions

Got me saying “wrist rest” ten times in a row 😂

Having owned a 350 for almost a year now, it is underpowered. a 4 cylinder has no business being in a vehicle that big and heavy. It's great for the GLC, GLB but not the GLE. I'm trading in my 2024 GLE 350, for a 2024 GLE 450 which about the same amount of miles on it. Maybe the 350 is good for putting around town, but on the highway, it's lack of power makes passing a chore where it sounds like you're trying to race the person you're passing because your engine revs so high.

[keska]

Is this the same engine as in the new GLC?

[MercOne]

No, and I'm not sure why Mercedes hasn't upgraded their "350" models to the 300hp version of this engine. 255hp in the GLE is just not enough.

[RP-momd]

75K MSRP for a car that comes with 4 cylinder engine and has been stripped down from such basics as adaptive cruise control... Paired with really sketchy MB reliability and no provided maintenance program, it really is no brainer - pass!

[joem]

They should not make the GLE 350, it accelerates in slow motion
