2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-Class
Expert Analysis
The 2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE-Class is a masterclass in understated elegance, wrapping its occupants in a cocoon of refined comfort and sophistication. As I slipped behind the wheel of this V-shaped six-cylinder Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), I was immediately enveloped in a sense of luxury that's hard to find outside the rarefied world of high-end automobiles.
The GLE450's engine, with its 3.0-liter displacement and twin turbochargers, is a marvel of modern engineering. It produces a smooth and creamy 329 horsepower, which translates into effortless acceleration and a silky-smooth ride. But it's not just the power that impresses – the seven-speed automatic transmission is a masterclass in seamless shifting, always seeming to anticipate my every move. And with its adaptive damping system, the GLE450 glides over even the most unforgiving road surfaces, making long highway hauls a true pleasure.
Of course, no discussion of the GLE-Class would be complete without mentioning its prestige – this is, after all, a MERCEDES-BENZ product. And it shows in every detail, from the subtle chrome accents to the soft, supple leather that wraps around the driver's seat. The sporty touches, like the 20-inch alloys and aggressive front splitter, add a welcome dose of aggression to this otherwise stately design. Whether cruising down the highway or navigating tight city streets, the GLE450 exudes an air of confidence and sophistication that's hard to match in its class.
