Are you sick of driving a boring conventional SUV? Sure, conventional SUVs may deliver reasonable performance and utility, but that’s only a piece of the puzzle. Luxury SUVs will open up a whole new avenue of driving that you probably didn’t even know existed. Mercedes-Benz continues to be one of the top names in the industry, offering better performance than most while incorporating sophisticated technology and outstanding comfort and convenience inside. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE 400 4MATIC®* is a stellar choice if you want a healthy mix of size and performance without too much bulk. It compares favorably against other luxury SUVs such as the 2019 Maserati Levante, which is priced quite a bit above the GLE 400 4MATIC®*. Does that higher price tag equate to more features inside? Not quite. Take a look at the table below for some head-to-head comparisons!
