Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 d 4MATIC (2021) is rated by experts as a high-performance luxury SUV with strong performance (7.0s 0-100 km/h) and high torque (600 Nm) of the new 6-cylinder engine, the OM656. It is distinguished for its high internal quality, MBUX technology and excellent driving comfort. The main downsides are relatively high fuel consumption (8.8 L/100km) and high maintenance costs of the diesel engine and SCR system (AdBlue/DPF). General remarks include early problems with the MBUX system software and any reluctance of the 9G-TRONIC transmission at low speeds.
