By Cars.com Editors

our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class?

The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is a mid-size luxury SUV that seats up to five people and is available in traditional SUV or four-door coupe form. It comes standard with a 302-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. Rear- and all-wheel-drive versions are offered, as well as performance-oriented AMG variants making as much as 577 hp. Competitors include the Lexus RX 350, Audi Q7 and BMW X5.

What's New on the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class?

There are no significant changes. A redesigned GLE-Class is slated to debut as a 2020 model.

What Features in the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Are Most Important?

The GLE-Class comes standard with technology features like remote start and 4G LTE Wi-Fi internet connectivity. Performance-minded shoppers have two grades to consider: the 385-hp AMG GLE 43 or the AMG GLE 63, which makes 550 hp (577 hp in S guise).

Should I Buy the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class?

The four-door coupe body style is a twist on the traditional SUV look, but the design compromises visibility, backseat access and cargo space in the name of style. With a redesigned 2020 GLE-Class on the way, there's a chance there may be deals on the 2019 version.

    Grama Rocks GLE43

    I am 79 years old grandmother and climbing up and into this auto is amazing. Good thing for a lotta traffic cause speeding isn't a problem, this car talks to you, come on lady give me some gas. I had 04 Tuareg vw, steering column died, no replacement. So, I am a Mercedes Lady now. So far, it's good. My auto is black with black interior.

    Vista BMW, Coconut Creek, Fl

    This review is way over due!! I found my dream car online at Vista Bmw, a 2019 Black GLE 43 amg with saddle interior and very low miles. The situation was I live in Texas but I decided to call anyways and spoke with Duane Crawford he was professional, informative and guided me in the right direction in order to secure the car until I was able to drive the 21 hours to get there. Once there I met with him at Vista and the car was exactly the way it was advertised, perfect and in excellent condition ( basically new). Duane made the purchase of the car a easy and smooth process. All I can say is if you are looking for a great vehicle and professional service don't waste your time any where else call Vista Bmw and ask for Duane Crawford. Absolutely worth the drive.

    Most Amazing and Beautiful car I’ve ever owned!

    Simply stunning, this car is amazing from wheel to antenna. Incredibly comfortable, powerful, sleek, sexy, well designed. Still pinching myself that I was able to find one of these cars, and incredibly close by, amazing luck!! The GLE 53/63 were a little too much car than I needed and much more expensive, but the GLE-43 is absolutely perfect for me, and I love the flexibility with a towing package, big back seats and room for cargo! I’m in Love! ❤️

    No problems incurred

    Unique look, comfort and speed State of the art technology. Thrilling acceleration. Fit and finish is as expected. Middle of the road fuel economy but nobody buys one for that purpose.

    Spectacular Drive! It was everything I thought and more. I traded in my 2017 Range Rover sport for this. Best decision ever! Mercedes-Benz best ...you have done it again!

    Best Mercedes Yet

    I have owned several Mercedes and this is the best yet. Comfort is outstanding and the ride is second to none. If you are in the market for a luxury SUV, make sure the GLE 43 coupe make your list.

    Curb appeal

    People look at this car in my driveway, and always seem to slow down just to get a better look. It's probably the most attractive car I've owned. I will admit rear view is limited, but it definitely has enough so I'm not concerned about it. I love my car!

    Beautifully Sculpted With Nice Aerodynamics

    Now this is a fine automobile,with a departure from the ordinary look of some SUV's. Our test drive was about 20 miles and we were sold. We are taking delivery early next week. The price offered to us was just unbelievable,We still wonder if it is correct. Oh well we have a written figure that is signed.

    good compromise bt practicality and performance

    Love my 2019 GLE 43 amg. It’s not the fastest SUV in the world (X5 M is much faster), but it can move and is plenty fast for me. It seems zipperier than my old RRS SC. Great cargo room and entry to cargo areas. Overall, it’s a great car.

    I love this car!

    This car is awesome. I wanted an SUV but most of them look boxy. This SUV is sporty just what I wanted. The interior is beautiful. The car has several modes that it can be driven in from comfort to supersport mode also has a mode for rain/ice/snow. I love all of the safety features as well. A definite winner!
