Performance
Both models deliver smooth, confident rides, but they feature different powertrains.
The GLE 350 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder gas engine producing 255 horsepower, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive for a comfortable, efficient everyday driving experience.
The GLE 450e 4MATIC® is a plug-in hybrid combining a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor for a total output of 381 horsepower. It also includes Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC® all-wheel drive and provides an estimated 49 miles of all-electric range — ideal for eco-conscious drivers navigating city traffic or longer weekend routes through Middle Tennessee.
Appearance
From the outside, the GLE 350 and GLE 450e 4MATIC® share a nearly identical luxury aesthetic. Highlights include:
- Elegant body lines flowing across the sides for a dynamic, upscale look
- A sculpted hood, arched roofline, and flared grille with metallic detailing
- Triangular air inlets and LED lighting that give the front end a bold presence
- 19-inch wheels and a power liftgate for functionality and style
The main difference is the charging port on the GLE 450e 4MATIC®, subtly integrated for convenient access without disrupting the design.
Features
Both trims come packed with high-end comfort, safety, and tech features, including:
- Dual 12.3-inch displays for the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system
- Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®, wireless charging, and MBUX voice control
- Blind-spot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, automatic braking, and a driver attention monitor
- Heated, power-adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and synthetic leather upholstery
- Surround-view camera, parking sensors, and keyless entry/start for added convenience
Whether you prioritize sustainability or simplicity, you'll enjoy a premium ride in either GLE configuration.
