The Mercedes GLE, launched in 2015, is a large luxury SUV that had a more dynamic look and feel than its M-Class predecessor. Beautifully made and quietly capable, it kept its brand at the forefront of this segment. If you only need five seats from a car of this kind and want a prestigiously badged great all-rounder, it's a strong contender.
History
The old M-Class this GLE is based upon was for nearly two decades the world's most popular luxury 4x4, with over 1.5 million examples sold as it paved a path that other plush SUVs like BMW's X5 and Porsche's Cayenne would quickly follow. Rivals like these offered buyers a more dynamic interpretation of what a vehicle of this kind could be, but Mercedes fought back with the lighter, more agile third generation M-class design launched in 2012, the car that formed the basis for this GLE model.
The change of name brought this car into line with other products in the Mercedes SUV range. In its era, it sat at the heart of the large section of this segment, just above the more compact Audi Q5 or BMW X3-sized Mercedes GLC model. And just below the Range Rover-sized Mercedes GLS. Only five seats were offered.
Back in 2015, the brand bridled at accusations that this was merely a lightly facelifted version of that old MK3 model M-Class - and with some justification. After all, as well as smarter looks, this GLE got a completely fresh 9-speed auto gearbox and a clever 'DYNAMIC SELECT' handling control system. Under the bonnet, all the engines were significantly more efficient and there was the option of clever Plug-in petrol/electric hybrid technology for the first time, plus much improved safety provision and impressive levels of media connectivity. There was even an additional and complete separate sporty 'GLE Coupe' bodystyle. Here though, we're going to be concentrating on the standard GLE body shape which sold until early 2019, when it was replaced by a new generation model.

    This appears to be an almost word for word remake of a video put out a couple of years ago. So we have references to the mild hybrid powertrain and the three drive modes. But the 2024 updated model (with the badge on the bonnet) has a standard 1lt turbo engine across the range and two drive modes only (no eco mode). All very strange.

    ID.3 not available in the US but it seems to be in the size range of the Chevy Bolt EUV. The EUV Premiere model has all the bells and whistles for under $40,000 USD (31,584 pounds). A similarly equipped ID.3 hits over $56,000 USD (45,000 pounds). There are three major differences 247 mile (Bolt) to 326 mile range (ID.3), 50kw vs 170kw charge rate, and the rear suspension extremely cheap on the Bolt! If the ID.3 were to sell in the US I doubt at it's price point anyone would buy it.

    2:31 new Automotive journalists are misunderstanding the definition of the word Sport in the phrase sport utility. The sports referred to our mountain biking, kayaking, camping, mountain climbing, etcetera. Adventure sports. * just because the phrase sport utility vehicle has been appropriated by the Deluge of car-based crossovers, everybody has forgotten the true meaning.

    Ive got the 2014 model MK3. Its auto, great handling for Mr Sensible types. Prob now is getting parts for & the swingeing prices. 2 new wiper motors fitted at my local garage £1300! A dealership would be even more. £450 ea wiper motor. Not that you can find any, anywhere. I got used ones at half price. My door lock went & waited months to get one. I've found a good honest used parts dealer, he's not a breaker but buys in good tested used parts 6 months guarantee. He's my man from now on. The auto wiper system is awful by Renault & self dimer rear view I hate as I'd rather do it manually.

    I drove a 530e today while my car was getting a maintenance. Great car, but the seat belts are a problem imo, they always go up with a 'clang' when you release them (I guess you can get used to that), and they tend to make big a rattling noise while driving because by default they get in between the seat and the door. For a car of this class that's just not right.
