GLE Highlights
On Target
A long wheelbase enhances rear-seat comfort, while strong engines and a plush ride make it ideal for chauffeur-driven luxury and effortless long-distance highway cruising.
What We Like
Feature-loaded SUV that feels rich inside-out, offered with both petrol and diesel engine options.
What We Do Not Like
Still lacks a plush ride; despite AWD, it’s more of a soft-roader and mainly serves as a utility vehicle
