2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE.

The fourth-generation Mercedes-Benz GLE entered the market last year. Since then, the GLE has enhanced its offering with two new high-performance AMG versions that are added to the GLE 350 4Matic and GLE 450 4Matic versions. Offered from $69,900, the Mercedes-Benz GLE offers exceptional refinement in the segment and an impressive balance between comfort and performance.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE is offered with a choice of four engines, starting with a turbocharged four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. This engine performs well in the city and on the highway when accelerating, but what really sets it apart is its efficiency. For many buyers looking to get from point A to point B in an excessively luxurious vehicle, this is the best engine in the segment.

If you want a little more performance under the hood, you can go for a turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine in the GLE 450 that puts out 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers much higher performance with a 0-100 km/h in less than 6.0 seconds.

Then there are the two AMG versions, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 and the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63. While the GLE 350 and 450 benefit from the standard 4Matic all-wheel drive, the AMG versions offer the 4Matic + system, which puts the emphasis on performance while delivering a high level of grip and stability when road conditions deteriorate.

They also offer impressive performance thanks to their powerful turbo engines. The AMG 53 develops 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to hit 100 km/h in about 5.0 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is even more powerful with 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, allowing it to reach 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.

No matter which version of the GLE you take, you'll be treated to exceptional comfort and the latest connectivity and safety technologies.
