Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de 4MATIC Coupe (2022) is rated by experts as a PHEV SUV that excels in the high electric range (99 km WLTP) and mass torque (700 Nm) of the diesel hybrid system. The coupe model offers a more dynamic driving sensation compared to the SUV version. The main disadvantages are the very large weight (2615 kg) due to the hybrid system, which compromises the feeling of sporty driving and reduces passenger/luggage space. Common criticisms of the C167 models include problems with MBUX system software, airmatic system defects (if optional), and various electrical/sensor problems (such as problems with parking or distronic sensors, and with door handles).
