NEW 2024 MERCEDES GLE 350 4MATIC SUV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 4MATIC receives a mid-cycle refresh, focusing on updated styling, interior luxury, and technology. The reviewer praises the striking exterior design, particularly with the AMG Line Exterior package, and the premium interior appointments, noting materials and finishes previously seen in higher-end Maybach models. The new steering wheel with sensor surfaces and the enhanced MBUX system with improved voice control are highlighted as significant upgrades. However, the reviewer points out that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, while adequate for daily driving and offering a smooth nine-speed automatic transmission, may feel underpowered for those seeking more robust performance, suggesting the GLE 450 as an alternative for more power. The off-road capabilities, including the "transparent hood" feature and an off-road menu, are noted as valuable additions for adventurous users. Despite some minor voice command hiccups with MBUX, the overall comfort and driving experience are rated highly.
