Review and specifications
2027 Mercedes-Benz GLE
The Mercedes-Benz GLE was refreshed for 2027 with an updated engine lineup and high-tech features galore, including a now-standard trio of 12.3-inch screens that spans across the dashboard. The logo-averse should look away now--the GLE’s updated styling has the company’s three-pointed star visible from every angle, including in the lighting and repeated across the grille. Both a GLE Coupe with a raked fastback roof and a high-performance Mercedes-AMG version are available. Mercedes offers five different mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains for the GLE lineup, ranging from the 255-hp GLE 350 base model to the 577 hp Mercedes-AMG GLE 53e Hybrid. Notable options include an upgraded air suspension that anticipates and adjusts for bumps it detects ahead on the road, and third-row seating.

Brand context
About Mercedes-Benz
<p>Most Mercedes-Benzes give their owners industry-leading comfort and technology. The cost of that experience is typically a lofty base price with expensive options and below-average reliability. The brand produces a wide variety of vehicles for the U.S., including coupes, sedans, convertibles, and even two-seat sports cars. Some two- and three-row SUVs that we’ve tested have powerful engines and interiors that are roomy and quiet. Generally, Mercedes-Benz fit and finish, inside and out, is exceptional and helps justify prices. Mercedes-Benz’s EVs range from compact to large three-row SUVs. Across the lineup, controls for the complex climate and infotainment systems aren’t as intuitive as we find in other luxury vehicles. Like most European luxury brands, used Mercedes-Benzes can have expensive out-of-warranty repairs.</p>
