The model
Read full New Mercedes GLE reviewWith a smart interior, a wide range of engines and comfortable cruising manners, there’s plenty to like about the Mercedes GLE. The main issue is that there are rivals that are even more practical, comfortable or better to drive. The 300d makes the most sense, while company car drivers will do well with one of the PHEVs. You’ll need AMG Line Premium trim to get seven seats, otherwise we recommend Urban Edition.
The trim
See full equipmentThis mid-level trim adds a panoramic sunroof, exterior side steps, a third row of seats (for non-PHEV models), four-zone climate control and a head-up display.
The engine
See full engine specsThis petrol plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor. The engine produces 248bhp but can combine with the electric motor to produce 375bhp. That’s a little more than the 350de and results in a quicker 0-62mph time of 6.1sec. Top speed is 130mph.
