Summary

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 e 4MATIC (2025) is rated by experts as a standard-setting PHEV SUV in North America thanks to its high electric range (50 miles EPA) and DC fast-charging capability (60kW). Total combined power (381 hp and 479 lb-ft tork) delivers powerful performance, while the updated Phase-II facelift retains luxury and high-tech (MBUX). The main disadvantages are the very large weight (2610 kg) due to the hybrid system, which compromises the feeling of sporty driving and significantly reduces the luggage space. Ongoing criticisms include the very high costs of hybrid system maintenance and reported problems with MBUX software and airmatic system defects (if optional).
