#2024 GLE UPDATE#
#2024 GLE ANDROID#

A software update fixed my main issue with the MBUX system. My average MPG is 25, mostly highway and combined. Update: 9 months, 7,700mi in and I still love my GLE but wish I purchased the X5. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and intend to keep it until at least the warranty runs out (which is 10k short bumper-to-bumper and 50k miles short for powertrain compared to my Touareg.) I tried the automated parallel parking feature twice and it parks as well (or as poorly) as the vehicles you park in-between. The 360 camera isn't as good as Audi/BMW but it's better than any mainstream brand and I find it very helpful. The traffic jam assist gets too close to cars for my comfort, but otherwise works as expected. I do wish there was a quicker way to disable the active lane departure warning (it's quite aggressive and disturbs the otherwise exceptional ride.) The active driving assistance (and active lane change assist) make highway driving so easy. I feel exceptionally safe in this SUV and love the driver's assistance package. I do feel like 4matic is more front wheel drive biased compared the competition (I've experienced loss of traction while accelerating hard.) I noticed reviews saying that your pant legs would get dirty when you get in the car I have this issue too. I have the GLE 350 4matic and while the engine doesn't sound pleasant, the performance is on-par and worth it for better efficiency. The panoramic sunroof opens way larger than the X5, but I wish it had the ambient sunroof lighting like the X5. I am super disappointed that MBUX doesn't include wireless CarPlay (something available on all 2020+ VW models.) I had issues with the MBUX taking 2+ minutes to load randomly, but that hasn't happened since the recent software update. On a recent road-trip I averaged 30MPG by going the speed limit (Sacramento to Los Angeles.) I love that I can drive 500mi on a tank of gas. I upgraded from a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg and everything about this car is worth the $15k increase in MSRP (mine came in at $71k.) I'm averaging 24.8 MPG with mixed/highway driving over 3,600mi. The Merc is better off road.I took delivery in December and immediately fell in-love.

Still, there is the undeniable cachet of driving a Mercedes-Benz product. The BMW and Porsche are more attuned to the driving enthusiast, while the Volvo’s interior treatment bests every model listed above. The Genesis pretty much matches Benz in style and content for quite a bit less money. That said, there is much to admire about the competitive set as a whole. There is much to admire about the updated 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class.

Undulating surfaces imposed a startling measure of sympathetic ride motions, perhaps best described as wallowing.

However, I found the GLE 450 to display a surprising deficit of body control when driven in the comfort and eco modes. Steering and brake response were commensurately balanced against the performance potential of the engine. Serving up 375 hp at 5,800 rpm and 369 pound-feet of torque at just 1,800 rpm, the GLE 450 I drove offered strong acceleration throughout its rev range.

The system performs functions such as adjusting the climate control activating seat ventilation and tuning the radio, Mobile WiFi, as well as wireless CarPlay and Android compatibility are standard. It is also capable of teaching - upon hearing a request beginning with the word “help.” Additionally, there is no longer a need to use the phrase “Hey Mercedes” for certain operations, such as responding to a phone call. The “Hey Mercedes” function has a learning component now and can initiate online services in the “Mercedes Me” app. The widescreen instrumentation and infotainment interface is back for a return engagement, with dual 12.3-inch monitors encased in a single frame.
