At present, the BMW X5 is very hot in the medium and large SUV market of luxury brands. On the one hand, it is because BMW X5 is a classic model created by a first-line luxury brand, with good product power and market reputation. On the other hand, it is because BMW X5 has been made in China, and it is the only model sold in China among luxury medium and large SUVs of first-line brands, with a guide price of 612,200-80.00 yuan, which has a certain price advantage.
At present, the guide price of Mercedes-Benz GLE is 699,800 to 889,800, including 5 2024 models and 2 2024 modified models, of which 2024 models have a decrease of 100,000 or even higher in the terminal, and the actual naked car price of the entry-level model is less than 600,000. In contrast, the domestic version of BMW X5, there is generally no price concessions in the terminal, and now the imported Mercedes-Benz GLE will have a slight advantage in price. So is the Mercedes-Benz GLE worth buying? Let’s break it down.
Mercedes-benz GLE is based on the exclusive platform of Mercedes-Benz medium and large SUV MHA, the appearance is fashionable and young, the front face grille is called “night star river”, the center of the net can see a relatively thick horizontal chrome decorative bar, the internal net adds a large number of dot matrix elements, showing a similar visual effect of shining stars. On both sides of the grille, you can see a relatively wide light group, the internal light source provides geometric multi-beam LED headlights, and uses a newly adjusted LED daily running light, the visual effect is more scientific and technological.
When it comes to the side of the car body, the recognition of Mercedes-Benz GLE is relatively high. You can see the unique yacht-style design at the C-pillar position, with a certain tilt. The triangular window at the rear is connected with the rear windshield, making the side very different from the general model. Looking at the tail, the taillight group is approximately diamond shaped, the overall shape is relatively flat, and the two light groups are connected through the silver chrome decorative strip, which increases the exquisite sense of the tail. In order to meet the current consumer’s pursuit of performance, Mercedes-Benz GLE also provides AMG body surrounding components and night components, if you pursue a sense of ritual when traveling, Mercedes-Benz GLE also has a unique dynamic star emblem welcome light.
Then look at the body size, the body length, width and height of the Mercedes-Benz GLE are 4927/2018/1797mm, and the wheelbase is 2995mm. The domestic version of the BMW X5 has a length of 5060mm and a wheelbase of 3105mm. It is not difficult to see that the body size of Mercedes-Benz GLE has little advantage in front of the domestic version of BMW X5, but from the perspective of riding experience, the standard 5-seat Mercedes-Benz GLE has a “big five” cabin, and there is no need to worry about the riding space.
In the cabin, Mercedes-Benz GLE adopts the family design language, and you can see the dual screen with the penetrating design. This design also has a certain sense of science and technology in the current automobile market. There is a unique groove structure at the back of the screen, and large-sized air conditioning vents on both sides, which also increases the cabin design sense of Mercedes-Benz GLE. The steering wheel adds a large number of black mirror materials to the three-panel design surface, and the design of the entire steering wheel is unique. Mercedes-benz GLE is also equipped with the second generation of MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, built-in many common third-party apps, support for music, video and other functions, but also support “real through navigation”, can be the real road environment and virtual navigation instructions superimposed, so that the navigation display more intuitive.
In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz GLE is equipped with two engines, 2.0T and 2.5T, with maximum power of 258 HP and 367 HP respectively, and maximum torque of 400 nm and 500 nm respectively. For reference, the 2.0T engine of the 2023 BMW X5L has a maximum power of 258 HP and a maximum torque of 400 nm. The 3.0T engine has a maximum power of 381 HP and a maximum torque of 520 nm. It should be noted that the Mercedes-Benz GLE is also equipped with an all-wheel-drive system that can achieve 0-100% torque distribution between the front and rear axles, and is equipped with air suspension.
In short, before there was no price reduction, Mercedes-Benz GLE did not have much advantage in the face of BMW X5L, but now Mercedes-Benz GLE has also ushered in a substantial price adjustment in the terminal, and the comprehensive cost performance has increased a lot, and it can also maintain its competitiveness in the face of BMW X5L. So, Mercedes GLE and BMW X5L together, which model would you prefer to choose?
