My third Mercedes SUV

Test drove the GLE 350 to sort out what options I want. I will buy another lease return to save on the depreciation of buying new. I have owned 2 ML 350 models and they are hands down the most reliable cars I have ever owned. I grew up with Mercedes Benz as that is what my father and grandfather drove. My current 2008 ML 350 has 230,000 miles on it with less than $5000 of total ownership maintenance and repair costs over the last ten years ownership. For me, there is not a question of whether I would buy another one. It is a question of what color do I want this time.

Best SUV I've driven.

This SUV meets all our needs. It drives great, handles well, the visibility with the lane changing indicators are excellent. I especially like the rear view and overhead camera when manuevering tight spaces.

Styling

From the interior, to the steering to the ride - smooooth like butter baby! The vehicle is very roomy, the sound system is the BEST! And all instruments are user friendly

An "OK" car for the money.

This Car the Mercedes Benz GLE 350 2018 starts at 43k the one I'm reviewing is 70k. First of all the logo lights up in the front at night its like the car telling everyone "Hey I'm a expensive Mercedes" The logo also gets protected on the ground from the side mirrors the front looks great,But the back and sides don't.The Tail Lights are triangles one of the most lazy design I've seen and it looks way to boxy. The Bumper is huge that it looks like someone with a huge behind. The side looks average. The interior has some flaws aswell. Such as no touch screen instead you have a mouse that get scratched all the time and when you set your arm on the arm rester your hand hits the mouse and everything changes on the screen.It does have a drink cooler/Heater the back seats have no Heated seats...... Big flaw if you ask me. The seatbelts tighten on your safety it has Heads up display too. So the engine is a V6 like most suvs and when you rev the car it sounds like its alive. So this concludes my review overall I give it a 3/5 stars.? ? ?

The 5th one owned, beginning with an ML350 in 2007

This auto meets or exceeds our family's every need, whether it's comfort or performance related. It's good looking, excellent quality and meets our every expectation for an automobile.

nice SUV

it is roomy, the cargo area can accommodate my two Border Collies. Interior is quite comfortable, many safety features, Navigation system quite fuzzy and somewhat difficult to operate. Great sound system. Adequate engine power.

Best SUV Ever!

I ordered a GLC Coupe and went to pick it up after it finally arrived, but found it to be too small and very little cargo room so had to explore other options. When the salesmen showed us the GLE350 and we took it on a test drive, we were instantly sold! This luxury SUV has all the features and options we desired, plus plenty of power and a great look. My family is so happy we purchased this vehicle and now looking forward to when our lease is up so we can buy the new model then!

I love my GLE!

I sold my 2015 ML250 Bluetec and purchased the 2018 GLE 350, I am very happy with all of its new features. The comfort and sports driving experience is awesome! Although I prefer the comfort driving mode, my husband thoroughly enjoys switching it to sport when he?s driving because he likes the way it handles and takes curves. It?s amazing how comfortable it rides and there is very little road noise when in the cab, especially when using the phone, listening to the radio or back seat drivers (maybe a little too quiet), lol. It rides solid, I feel extremely safe and highly recommend the GLE 350!
