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

Expert Verdict on GLE

4.0

Expert Rating

The Mercedes-Benz GLE LWB is a reputed luxury SUV that is known for its space, comfort and refinement over outright sportiness. Its extended wheelbase translates into an exceptionally spacious rear seat, making it especially appealing for chauffeur-driven buyers. In everyday use, it delivers smooth performance, a plush ride aided by air suspension, and a feature-rich cabin that feels suitably premium. However, it isn’t the most engaging SUV to drive, and its large size can feel cumbersome in tight city conditions. If your priority is rear-seat comfort, luxury, and effortless long-distance cruising, the GLE LWB remains a strong choice, though keen drivers may want something sharper.
