Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC (2021) is rated by experts as a high-performance luxury SUV, which offers an excellent 6-cylinder engine (M256) at speeds (5.4s 0-100 km/h) and instantaneous response thanks to MHEV technology. It stands out for its premium build quality, MBUX technology, and excellent driving comfort (especially with the E-Active Body Control option). The main downsides are relatively high fuel consumption (11.7 L/100km), high maintenance costs, and common problems reported with V167 models such as airmatic system defects (if present), early software problems with the MBUX system, reluctance of the 9G-TRONIC transmission, and problems with various electrical sensors.
