True Versatility Looks Like This

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz not only escorts you to your next destination in first class, but the luxury SUV features lively performance that gets the adrenaline flowing through your veins. Starting life as the M-Class and evolving to the GLE, this Benz refuses to be confined by any barriers. Dive in with us as we pop the hood and see what powers this lively midsize luxury SUV.

Engine Choices Abound

The GLE 350 serves as the entry level model and it offers drivers the perfect blend of agility and efficiency thanks to its 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Producing 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, power is routed through a 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission. Power is sent to the rear wheels for an agile experience, but all wheel drive comes standard if you opt for the GLE 350 4MATIC®.

Turning all four wheels, the legendary all wheel drive system detects wheel spin and shifts power to the axle with the most traction. Remaining efficient, the GLE 350 and GLE 350 4MATIC® both return an impressive 26 MPG on the highway.

The performance of the GLE SUV may be inspiring but this SUV assures you that there’s much more in store for you. Lift the hood of the GLE 450 4MATIC® and you’ll find a lively 3.0-liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder engine that produces 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

Using EQ Boost, a 48-volt starter-generator that powers typically belt-driven accessories, the GLE 450 4MATIC allows you to enjoy instant torque while offering better fuel economy. In fact, the much more powerful GLE 450 4MATIC® returns the exact same EPA estimated fuel economy as its 4-cylinder sibling: 21MPG in the city and 26MPG on the highway.

Devilish V8 Power

If you’re a firm believer that an SUV should have a V8, this Mercedes SUV has you covered with the GLE 580 4MATIC. Powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 with EQ Boost, power is rated at 483 horses and a whopping 516 lb-ft of torque. Rocketing you to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds, and still returning an impressive EPA estimated 22 MPG on the highway, the V8 powered GLE ensures that excitement begins as soon as you start the engine.

If you’re looking for an SUV that can outrun some of the toughest sports cars, choose the GLE 63 S 4MATIC +. Using an AMG version of the V8 engine found in the GLE 580, the GLE 63 produces a staggering 603 horsepower and 627lb-ft of torque for you to play around with, rocketing you to 60 in just 3.7 seconds.

With so much power, and the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE curb weight standing at 5,335 lbs, some of the best performance SUVs will have to get used to staring at your tail lights.
