2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE 450

The 2022 GLE-Class is Mercedes-Benz's midsize luxury SUV, offered in both traditional and coupe-like body styles. It takes on the BMW X5, Audi Q7, and Volvo XC90 in the competitive luxury SUV segment. The GLE drives with a composed, refined demeanor, and the available air suspension soaks up bumps while keeping body motions in check. Inside, the cabin is spacious and opulent, with a large dual-screen display and high-quality materials throughout. The GLE 450 is the pick for buyers who want more punch than the GLE 350 without stepping up to the AMG-tuned GLE 53. Its 3.0L I6 pairs with a nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, and the mild-hybrid system smooths stop-and-go around town. The 48-volt integrated starter-generator adds a subtle electric boost off the line, so it feels quicker than 362 horsepower suggests.
