Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 d 4MATIC (2021) is rated by experts as a luxury SUV with excellent performance (6.0s 0-100 km/h) and massive torque (700 Nm) thanks to the 6-cylinder engine, which offers effortless driving in all conditions. It is distinguished for its high internal quality, MBUX technology and excellent driving comfort. The main downsides are the very high maintenance costs of the diesel engine and SCR system (AdBlue/DPF), and the relatively high fuel consumption (9.6 L/100km). General remarks include early problems with the MBUX system software and any reluctance of the 9G-TRONIC transmission at low speeds.
