The Mercedes-Benz GLE at a glance
The GLE is the mid-size Mercedes-Benz SUV: bigger than the GLC, smaller than the three-row GLS, with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive and a 7,700-lb tow rating on every 2027 model. It comes as a GLE SUV or a sloping-roof GLE Coupe. Engines run from the 255-hp four-cylinder in the GLE 350 to the 375-hp inline-six in the GLE 450 and the 530-hp V8 in the GLE 580, plus two plug-in hybrids (the GLE 500e and the Mercedes-AMG® GLE 53 HYBRID) and the 603-hp Mercedes-AMG® GLE 63 S. For most East Valley and Scottsdale families, the GLE 350 is the one to drive first: it’s the lowest-priced GLE and has the best highway mpg. Drive the GLE 450 next if you want the inline-six, the optional third row, or you tow a boat to Saguaro Lake every weekend.

Top 3 GLE questions from Gilbert shoppers
GLE or GLS: which Mercedes-Benz SUV do I need?
Get the GLE if you need a third row only now and then: the GLE 450 offers an optional third row for seven seats from $74,800 MSRP, $19,150 less than the 2027 GLS 450 at $93,950. Get the GLS if adults ride in the third row or you need cargo room with all three rows up: it is 10.9 inches longer (205.4 vs. 194.5 in), seats six or seven, and still holds 17.4 cubic feet behind the third row. The GLE is also the easier fit in a Gilbert garage. Our GLE vs. GLS guide for East Valley families goes further, and you can shop GLS inventory.
GLE 350 or GLE 450: is the inline-six worth it?
For most drivers the GLE 350 is enough: it starts at $68,400 MSRP, $6,400 less than the GLE 450, and it is rated 19 city / 26 highway mpg against 19 / 24. The GLE 450 is worth it if you want more power for passing and climbing, with 375 hp against 255 and 0–60 mph in 5.0 seconds against 6.8, or if you want the optional third row, which the GLE 350 doesn’t offer. Drive both back to back on the Loop 202 and the hills toward Payson to feel the difference.
How much can a GLE tow?
Every 2027 GLE is rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds with the factory trailer hitch, from the GLE 350 to the Mercedes-AMG® GLE 63 S, according to Mercedes-Benz USA. That covers most ski boats headed to Saguaro Lake or Lake Pleasant and mid-size travel trailers headed up to the Rim. In summer heat, keep an eye on tire pressure and leave extra room to stop; our Mercedes-Benz towing capacity by model guide compares every line.
GLE vs. BMW X5
The BMW X5 is the GLE’s closest rival. The GLE 350 starts $3,700 lower than the 2027 X5 40 xDrive, holds more cargo behind the second row (33.3 vs. 27.3 cu ft), and offers a third row on the GLE 450 and GLE 580, which the X5 doesn’t have at all. The X5 40 xDrive is quicker: its 394-hp six runs 0–60 mph in 5.1 seconds, against 6.8 for the GLE 350; the GLE 450 (375 hp, 5.0 seconds) is the closer match. Towing is a tie at about 7,700 pounds. The best way to choose is to drive them back to back; the GLE is waiting at Mercedes-Benz of Gilbert.

GLE SUV, GLE Coupe or Mercedes-AMG® GLE?
Choose the GLE SUV if you want the most space: up to 74.9 cubic feet of cargo room, an optional third row on the GLE 450 and GLE 580, from $68,400 MSRP. Choose the GLE Coupe if you want a sleeker roofline on the same 375-hp inline-six, from $81,200 for the GLE 450 4MATIC® Coupe; it gives up some cargo room (64.1 cubic feet max) and the third row. Choose a Mercedes-AMG® GLE for performance: the GLE 53 HYBRID is a 577-hp plug-in hybrid from $97,000 (SUV) or $98,000 (Coupe), and the GLE 63 S has a 603-hp V8. For a smaller SUV, see the Mercedes-Benz GLC; our GLC vs. GLE answer page compares them. Shop GLE Coupe inventory or shop AMG® inventory.
