Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 300 d 4MATIC (2021) is rated by experts as a luxury SUV with high turquoise (500 Nm) and good fuel efficiency (7.6 L/100km) for its size, thanks to the modern OM654 engine. It is distinguished by its high internal quality, MBUX technology and driving comfort (especially with E-Active Body Control damping). The main downsides are the high maintenance costs of the diesel engine and the SCR system (AdBlue/DPF), while the general criticisms include early problems with the MBUX system software and any reluctance of the 9G-TRONIC transmission at low speeds.
