This is not the last visit to the house Mercedes-Benz... It was introduced in 2015 as the successor to ML (the model that made the history of the Star brand) and has won many customers with its classic design and its ability to combine elegance and sportiness, interpreting the concept of an SUV driven by cars. I like it more and more. I tried the version for you GLE 250d 4Matic in customization Premiumequipped with a 204 hp four-cylinder engine, 9-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive. This is a car you will never get tired of traveling. It is made with the utmost care, has good sound insulation and, thanks to the all-wheel drive and the complete set for on-road and off-road, can be used in 360 degrees.

Despite the length of 482 cm - and this is obviously a lot - GLE surprises maneuverability and "ease of driving". Clearly this is not a machine for those with no experience, because dimensions are important. But raised position, parking sensors and a 360-degree camera make it easy to move around even in tight spaces. The engine is not noisy, and the 9-speed automatic transmission is the perfect ally in the city walls. By being careful with the gas pedal, I managed to use up 7 to 8 liters per 100 km.
Outside the city
Il Dynamic selection allows you to change the GLE font. You can choose Comfortto ensure driving comfort and perfect absorption of asphalt unevenness. But if you want to unleash more than 200 horsepower. German SUV, you can always choose Sports and enjoy more responsive engine (and gearbox) response, stiffer suspension and a straighter steering wheel. Of course, you feel the weight and volume, but still fun. However, for a short time, because the pleasure of “slow movement” is much greater. And with the packageOff road”, Which also increases the vehicle's height from the ground, you can also try your hand at off-road without any fear.

In many ways, the motorway is the perfect place for the Mercedes-Benz GLE. As expected, she is an excellent traveler. It is comfortable and welcoming, like some other cars in this line. It offers a lot of space and is very good soundproofed... At highway speeds, one liter of fuel can drive an average of 13-14 km.
Life on board
Luxury, elegance and sporty style: the combination and interior of the GLE comes out. True, in many ways it is not modern, but it has everything you might need. The upholstery leather is of excellent quality, as are the plastics and finishes. Instruments are clear and legible, while infotainment communicates with smartphones via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, to which the Comand Online package has been added. Five people travel in comfort, and the 690-liter boot (which becomes 2010 with the sofa folded down) provides ample space for suitcases.
Price and costs
The standard equipment at these levels is always very rich. Premium 4Matic exceeds 70.000 75.000 euros. The version I tried costs around € XNUMX due to the various options, among which the road and off-road package and the parking package stand out. On the other hand, adaptive cruise control, which is standard on the Exclusive Plus and Premium Plus variants, is charged separately.
safety
The Mercedes GLE has received 5 stars in the EuroNCAP tests and is equipped with all the latest safety and driving assistance systems (some of which are standard only in certain trim levels).
