2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE review - This or an X5? Incl. Costs, Driving Impressions and Engines.

In this review, I take a look at the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE. A facelift of the outgoing model to bring it up to date for the new year. I think it still looks great, drives well, and... well you're going to have tp watch the video to find out more.

It looks good however the x5 offers better tech, performance, quality and interior design. I stand to be corrected but I believe the x5 is more affordable compared to the merc, I hope you do a video on it too.

Coulda had the new e class interior tho.. woulda been even more proper

Always the Merc. I know one real person that has an m4 - stage 2 wont poopoo that machine. But Mercedes is better than BMW objectively.

Cars like these make very little sense these days. These cars are for people who really care about brand or badges. Is this car really 3 times the price of a Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max for example. I don't think so. I know they are not the same category but if you want an SUV with space why spend 3 times more even if you can afford it? Most people who drive SUVs won't even notice the differences a car person will notice like a different feel over bumps or less road noise because no car is bad enough these days to even notice a difference. For R2 million, this GLE needs to be more. It needs more standard tech and the 300d engine should be tossed.

Well done bud.. I'll take one please

Once upon a time I would have agreed to your review but now Germans are way behind with offering standard equipment. They are overpriced and undervalued not worth it anymore. I’ve owned these cars for 18 years all brands will not buy anymore.

The biggest let down of this car is the interior quality. It is really poor for the price and especially compared to the X5. The lower door panels are all hard plastic whereas in the X5, Q7, Range Rover etc it is all soft injection moulded plastic. Then the row of climate buttons that move when using it. One brand new one on the floor at the dealership didn't even have the rubber seals around the inside of the doors seated properly. It was rippled. And it was not the only one I saw like that. A used one I checked out looked so bad inside because of the cheap materials and the button that opens the centre armrest was stuck and wouldn't even open. This gen GLE is a flop and overall is really really bad quality.

this car doesn’t feel premium comparing to Volvo

[mayormsuthu]

The BMW is better than this whether we like it or not this car cannot compare to BMWs interior quality as the BMWs interior feels like strongly held together than the one in this car which isn as sturdy n intact as in the BMW.

[faizelphilander]

The BMW is my choice. The reason therefore is because BMW's technology, interior, and exterior is better. So now comes the BIGGEST THE RIDICULOUS PRICE TAG BETWEEN THE TWO BRANDS. I remember before the facelift they were closely priced, but after the facelifts the Mercedes Benz had AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TAG(NOT JUST IN THE SUV RANGE AND I MEAN IN THE WHOLE MODEL RANGE. FROM THE SMALLEST BMW/ MERCEDES SUV UP TO THE TOP OF THE RANGE X7/GLS) Why would I want to pay R3.8mil. for a GLE 63 AMG as oppose to X5M COMPETITION R3.3 mil. I mean that R500 000(half a million rand) I can spend it on fuel a vacation and even consider buying another car with that kind of money. So in short I don't think that any Merc is worth it's ridiculous price tag it now make sense that it's global sales has declined, that tells you the story. I mean a 4 cylinder Merc SUV is more expensive then a 6 cylinder BMW SUV in the case of the X5/X6 and the GLE/GLE COUPE. Sorry no Merc for me I'll spend that EXTRA money more wisely.
