Replaced an older Mercedes-Benz with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE review
Mercedes-Benz GLE: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.6/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE sits near the top of its class. Well-organized infotainment; ride stays composed on rough pavement. Third row (where offered) is for kids and engine gets loud under hard acceleration, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $62,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.
