In addition to the luxurious amenities, safety features and technology you’d expect in a Mercedes-Benz, the GLE packs a few surprises, like the ability to tow up to 7,200 pounds. Another is the plug-in hybrid GLE’s ability to travel up to 10 miles on battery power alone.
The Lexus RX has a softer ride, costs about $10,000 less, and holds its value better in the long run. The slightly smaller Acura RDX, meanwhile, is agile, comfortable and costs far less than the Mercedes. If you want a diesel SUV, options keep dwindling but Jaguar offers one in the F-Pace.
