2024 MERCEDES GLE 450E 4MATIC SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e 4MATIC SUV is presented as a compelling plug-in hybrid option, blending electric and gasoline power for a combined fuel economy of 58 MPG. The reviewer highlights its imposing front fascia, AMG Line exterior with Knight package accents, and high-performance LED lighting. Inside, the cabin boasts premium leather, a new steering wheel design, dual 12.3-inch displays with the MBUX infotainment system, and extensive ambient lighting. The reviewer praises the comfortable rear seating, generous cargo space (33-70 cubic feet), and the augmented reality navigation. However, a notable drawback mentioned is the 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine, which the reviewer feels is undersized for such a large SUV, sharing the same engine as smaller Mercedes models. While the electric range is a modest 38 miles, the reviewer concludes that the GLE 450e makes sense for those prioritizing fuel economy and savings, provided they are content with the engine size.
