Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 500 4MATIC Coupe (2018) is rated by experts for exceptional performance (4.6s 0-100 km/h) and great torque (700 Nm) of the V8 biturbo M278 engine, offering a true AMG feel. It is distinguished for the sporty driving of the C292 chassis and the premium quality of construction. The main downsides are very high fuel consumption (14.4 L/100km) and very high maintenance costs of the V8 M278 engine. Common problems reported with this engine include oil leaks (especially from the oil cooler and distribution chain lids), bumpy shaft regulator defects, and problems with the distribution chain tensioner.
