Quite an improvement from my old one

MBZ has made so many improvements in the last few years that the vehicle is simple amazing. Love the way it handles and performs. Even though I loved my ML the GLE is far superior.

Not up to expectations

Gas milage of 22-23 on freeway is low versus BMW X5. Car does not track very well on the freeway requiring constant steering input, not typical for an MB and rather annoying. Power is adequate at best. On the positive side this car has a lot of room and is very comfortable. Sticker on this car was $69,950 which included all the great safety options Package 3. The safety systems are the best and are the reason I purchased the SUV.

Great car

Excellent car. Smooth ride and great performance on the road. Looks great on the outside. Gas mileage is good (for this type of engine). The only thing I wish is that there were more cup holders.

Number one SUV in my opinion!

I love this car it's my 5th one. Never have had one problem in all my SUV Mbz. They just get better with the years. I love this Car. And the service is wonderful. I have looked at other mid size SUV's and I have not found anything that compares in value and dealership service.

Luxurious SUV without the feel of one

The Mercedes GLE 350 has exceeded our expectations in comfort and size. If you're looking for a midsize SUV this is the one. I compared the BMW X5 to this vehicle and the ammeneties were nowhere near the GLE 350 for the same price.

Safest car I've ever owned

The car had a great ride and tons of safety features, parking assist, driver assist, panoramic camera. As for the luxury items, this has heated and cooled seats and cup holder and massaging front seats.

So Far So Good

Very pleased with the car and the entire experience at Mercedes of Bhm. Mark Colvin is the best car sales person I have ever purchased a car from, This makes the experience of purchasing everything. Because of the salesman everything else is usually fine.

Don't want to stop driving

I put on very little miles a year as I work from home. But with this vehicle, I find myself wanting to go more places and I ever look forward to running errands. It is such a pleasure to drive.
