2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
Starting at $58.750
Highs More off-road capable than expected, roomy for first- and second-row occupants, tech-centric interior dazzles.
Lows Ride could be smoother, optional third row is too cramped, Mercedes nickel-and-dimes shoppers with the most enticing features.
Verdict The three-pointed star on the GLE’s grille broadcasts its reputation, but that’s not enough to justify its upcharge over less prestigious rivals.
Overview
For people who shop based on bougie brands, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE-class is the mid-size SUV with designer credentials. Never mind that it does little else to differentiate itself from less expensive rivals such as the Genesis GV80 and Volvo XC90. For some, only a Mercedes will do, and for those types, the GLE will satisfy. The cabin is nicely equipped and roomy-except in the optional third row. Mercedes also packs the GLE with modern features destined to keep tech fanatics happy, including a wall of displays festooned on the dashboard. The entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder engine is punchy enough for most people, but there’s also a turbo six-cylinder and a twin-turbo V-8 for those willing to sacrifice fuel efficiency for quickness. The GLE offers more than a semblance of off-road capability, too, with options such as an adjustable air suspension giving it more adventure-ready cred than other luxury SUVs.
What's New for 2023?
Other than adding new no-cost metallic paint colors, the GLE-class rolls into the new model year with no other changes.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
GLE350: $58,750
GLE450: $67,500
GLE580: $84,900
After driving two of the three available powertrains, we'd suggest sticking with the entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder GLE350 model. Even though it's the least powerful option, it moves the GLE with enough authority to satisfy most drivers, and it returned the best fuel economy in our testing. With the money saved by selecting the base model, we'd splurge on the Premium package (Burmester audio system, 360-degree camera, and 115-volt household-style power outlet) as well as the Warmth and Comfort package (heated front armrests and upper door panels). We'd also add heated seats in the second row and four-zone climate control, both of which are standalone options.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Models wearing the GLE350 badge are powered by a 255-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine with either rear- or all-wheel drive (4Matic in Mercedes parlance) and a nine-speed automatic transmission. Stepping up to the GLE450 brings standard all-wheel drive and a 362-hp powertrain that consists of a turbocharged inline-six and a 48-volt hybrid system. The GLE350 we tested took 6.6 seconds to reach 60 mph, and the six-cylinder GLE450 managed a 5.3-second time. While the souped-up Mercedes-AMG GLE53 (reviewed separately) brings even more heat, the Benz-branded GLE580 represents the most powerful and expensive non-AMG model. The 48-volt system combines with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 to make up to 504 horsepower. Every GLE can be outfitted with an advanced air-suspension system that can lean into corners and even wiggle itself loose if the driver gets it stuck in sand or mud. The standard setup is traditional steel springs and anti-roll bars.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
Surprisingly, the six-cylinder GLE450 with all-wheel drive has the same fuel-economy estimate as the rear-drive, four-cylinder GLE350; both have EPA ratings of 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway (22 mpg combined). The V-8-powered GLE580 burns gas at a faster rate and is expected to have estimates of 16 mpg city, 21 highway, and 18 combined. On our 75-mph fuel-economy route, an all-wheel-drive GLE350 4Matic returned 25 mpg and a GLE450 4Matic delivered 23 mpg. The GLE450 goes head-to-head with the six-cylinder BMW X5 xDrive40i, but the Bimmer wins in our real-world test with its 28-mpg result.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Fine materials such as genuine leather, wood, and metal impart a sense of true luxury inside the GLE, but they also add a pretty penny to the bottom line. Not only can the front seats be heated, but the armrests and center-console lid can, too-quickly taking the chill out of a frigid morning. The spacious interior can be outfitted with an optional third row of seats (a tad snug for adults). The GLE’s dashboard boasts prominent displays, and the interior is filled with other tech-focused bells and whistles. With the optional third-row seats stowed, we fit 11 carry-on suitcases in the cargo area. With all seats folded flat, the GLE offers room for up to 26 carry-ons. The rival X5 matches the Mercedes in both metrics, but other competitors such as the more coupelike Audi Q8 held far fewer.

Love...Love that GREEN..❤❤
Wonderful SUV 🥰🥰💖💖
Stunning car, but sad to see, that a lot of the buttons and speaker covers remain covered in cheap plastic at this price. Saving on materials at this price is just not justifyable.
I am on a lease with a new one and it’s definitely not cheap plastic. Everything in the car feels nice and solid. Such an amazing vehicle to drive, especially at night. Every car has some bits of plastic, but this one is higher quality soft touch, and solid.
@@Eldomibori Thanks for your feedback. How is the car performing on curvy roads at higher speeds? Can you feel it's weight and height?
Big fan of Mercedeses in overal, as I believe they are one of the last big German car makers who stay true to their origins and make cars that are worthy it's title (unlike some car manufacturers).
My family also owns a MB and absolutely love it. Looking for a sporty version of CLA to buy for myself too!
@@nejc3 No problem! Everything in my GLE is balanced pretty nicely when it comes to curves, but mainly when you put it in sport. I love driving it on the highway, although my 5 series beats it when it comes to curvy roads and performance. I have it fully loaded black with the AMG package (Wheels, spoiler, running boards).
I get compliments on it all the time, especially from friends when they ride in it. I love this car so much I might purchase it at the end of the lease, if I don’t change it for a new one.
Man, that green is nice! I like how subtle it is, looks very classy.
I’ll be buying one in 2025.
Amen 🙏🏻
amen 🙏
Amen🙏🏻
Better buy one before they go ALL WOKIE EV.
I hope you can. Better the new 450d.
Amen. And me too❤
Really and truly a shame that in the AMG version they don't make it with "FLARED FENDERS" to give it a more musclar look. Everybody anymore is building such wimpy looking SUV'S and then charging an outlandish amount of money for them as well. Just like their stick shifter is a wimpy little thing. So much room for improvement of these suv's.
I dreamt of this car today, never crossed my mind, drives nice.. in the dream lol
A pleasure to drive and a feast for the eyes to see.
Green is simply stunning. I wish MB would have it on E-class too.
I manifest to you in the name of God😭🙏 this 2024 will not pass me by 🙏💯
Quanto esta custando uma Mercedes dessa
My dream car, but no money😓
same 2021 car
انسيابة من الأعلى في الخلف صارت افضل من الشكل القديم المضغوط كثيرا إلى الاسفل

Always Mercedes…
