2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 450 VS 2023 VOLVO XC90

EV Channels Review

This comparison pits the refreshed 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 against the 2023 Volvo XC90. While the XC90 boasts a cleaner, more classic design and a surprisingly agile driving experience for its class, the GLE 450 is presented as the more technologically advanced and upscale vehicle. The reviewer highlights the GLE's superior interior materials, more customizable technology interface, and the refined power delivery of its inline-six engine, particularly praising its 'sailing mode' for fuel efficiency. Despite the XC90's sharper handling and unique features like the integrated booster seat, the GLE ultimately wins due to its superior engineering, newer feel, and the overall premium experience it offers, even when optioned to a similar price point as a loaded XC90.
