What Owners are Saying About the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE
"The GLE is very impressive"
"Have only about 1000 miles on my GLE 350. The interior is best in class, exterior is conservative however tasteful unlike the Lexus RX , which IMHO is drastic and has become boring. The 350 is not quick from a dead stop, in all other situations power is more than adequate. Cruising at 90mph is effortless and extremely comfortable. Problems I’ve encountered thus far is an inconsistent whistling sound from driver’s side mirror, gas tank filler door is not perfectly flush with body. Both are items I have chosen to just live with for now. The 450 is probably better suited for this vehicle, however it is about $6k more and for 95% of all driving situations is realistically not needed. Tested the Lexus RX as well as the BMW X5 , eliminated the RX rather quickly, and the X5 just seemed to be a generation behind, however a great vehicle. There are many posts talking about problems with the GLE and how Mercedes has come down in quality, I hope that it is not true. I’ve had 2 BMWs and 5 Mercedes and quality has not been an issue with any of them. Most owners would not bother posting anything if there were no problems, therefore we are overwhelmingly reading the posts of individuals experiencing some issues, however minor they may be. I love driving my GLE 350, and I have zero second thoughts regarding my decision."
"Amazing car"
"The AMG GLE coupe is a sexy looking car, high end interior and very comfortable!! Definitely recommend on getting this model if you like coupe style vehicles!!"
"Minor quality issues"
"I own a 2022 GLE450, handling is more of a family suv style, it’s very very comfortable but can absolutely turn into a vicious animal on demand. Power delivery is fantastic, transmission is very smooth, standard suspension is up to expectation for the most part (would’ve loved it to be more stiff for better cornering but it’s not a sport oriented suv so that’s trivial & quite subjective) My only complaint now is apple carplay bring really laggy and slow, nearly unable to rely on if I use the touch pad (screen works much better ?!?). Minor issues like rear bumper’s edge that goes right below the tail light doesn’t seem to attach to anything underneath, free floating and can be pushed really deep, wipers could be better quality (compared to Audi)"
