Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 4MATIC Coupe (2018) is rated by experts for strong performance (5.8s 0-100 km/h) thanks to the V6 biturbo M276 engine and the sporty C292 chassis drive. It is distinguished by its premium build quality, large cargo space (for an SUV coupe) and efficient 9G-TRONIC transmission. The main downsides are high fuel consumption (12.3 L/100km) and high maintenance costs. Common problems reported with the V6 M276 engine include oil leaks from the upper hoods of the distribution chain, bumpy shaft regulator (Camshaft Adjuster) defects causing noise during starting, and problems with the cooling/thermostat.
