The added grip of all-wheel drive is also standard on the plug-in hybrid version of the GLE, which is motivated by a 3.0-liter V-6 coupled to an 85-kilowatt electric motor. Combined output is an impressive 436 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque. “Mercedes-Benz GLE450 2017”
Mercedes-Benz GLE450 2017, This is more than enough to get this fuel-sipping SUV down the road in a hurry, plus there’s 10 miles of electric-only driving range.
In terms of its ride and handling characteristics, let’s stress that the GLE-class is far more tuned towards the comfort end of the luxury spectrum.
The steering is overly light and, while the GLE soaks up bumps in the road and is adept at venturing off road, this Mercedes SUV simply doesn’t have the degree of athleticism found in a number of competitors.

While the GLE doesn’t inspire you to attack curvy roads with gusto, the cabin certainly inspires you to relax and enjoy the ride.
There is plenty of room no matter where you’re seated, and cargo space isn’t hindered by a bulky third row—though some might view the lack of extra seating as a serious demerit. Behind the second row there’s a sizable 38.2 cubic feet of cargo volume.
The GLE 350 comes standard with synthetic leather seating surfaces, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a sunroof, and a power-operated liftgate.
Higher trims add such features as genuine leather upholstery and an upgraded infotainment system. While it’s true that the GLE’s driving experience leaves something to be desired, the interior is hushed, and the soft ride is a bonus for long drives or commutes over pockmarked roads.
