Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 e 4MATIC (2025) is rated by experts as a PHEV SUV with powerful performance (381 hp and 650 Nm of torque) and excellent electric range (114 km WLTP). The updated model (Phase-II facelift) offers the latest MBUX technology and high comfort for long journeys. The main downsides are the very heavy weight (2590 kg) due to the hybrid system, which compromises the sporty driving sensation and causes relatively high fuel consumption when the battery is empty. Ongoing criticisms include the very high costs of hybrid system maintenance, problems with MBUX system software, and touch buttons on the steering wheel, which are difficult to use while driving.
