Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 d 4MATIC Coupe (2018) is praised by experts for its dynamic design (although it compromises the rear space), high torque (620 Nm) of the V6 engine and premium build quality. It stands out for sporty driving compared to the standard GLE SUV model, as well as for its efficient 9G-TRONIC transmission. The main downsides are the average acceleration performance (7.6s 0-100 km/h) due to the heavy weight (2175 kg), the very high maintenance costs of the V6 diesel engine OM642. Common problems reported with this engine include oil leaks (Oil Cooler Leaks), swirl flaps and defects in the SCR/AdBlue system (which can cause vehicle congestion).
