Mercedes-Benz GLE 2015–2019 car dimensions: 4900 mm long, 2003 mm wide and 1718 mm high. Unladen weight is 2,250 kg. Braked towing is 2,900 kg.
The cabin feels upmarket with dual-zone climate control and a clear COMAND system controlled by a central dial plus an 8-inch display. Cruise control is standard along with Collision Prevention Assist Plus for automatic emergency braking. Parking is easy thanks to standard PARKTRONIC sensors, Active Parking Assist and a reversing camera. Blind Spot Assist and Lane Keeping Assist sit in optional packages. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto arrived as options later in the run.
Boot space starts at 650 litres with the rear seats up and grows to 1720 litres when folded. The high load lip is noticeable when loading heavy items, but the powered tailgate helps everyday use.
Braked towing capacity reaches 2900 kg with an unbraked limit of 750 kg and a payload of 650 kg. The 4MATIC system and available air suspension help stability when loaded or towing.
It suits light work or leisure towing without special heavy-duty options, though reinforced air suspension is an extra.
The cabin mixes SUV space with coupé sportiness. Front sports seats are electrically adjustable with four-way lumbar as standard and offer strong side support. Higher grades add multi-contour seats with massage plus climatised (heated and ventilated) fronts. Heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and temperature-controlled front cup holders appear on designo versions. AIRMATIC air suspension keeps the ride smooth and quiet over bumps. A panoramic sunroof and air ionisation with filter are available for a brighter, fresher feel. Rear headroom is tighter under the sloping roof but three adults sit comfortably with a folding armrest.

The 350 d runs a 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 with 9G-TRONIC automatic and permanent 4MATIC. Official combined fuel use sits between 6.9 and 7.2 litres per 100 km with CO2 of 180–187 g/km. A 93-litre tank gives a long range between fills. AdBlue is required for the SCR system.
Service needs are shown by the ASSYST PLUS display, which varies with driving style. Typical dealer intervals are roughly every 25 000 km or once a year for oil and filter changes, with longer gaps for other items such as brake fluid every two years. Diesel particulate filter and AdBlue level checks form part of routine care.
Standard safety kit includes seven airbags, PRE-SAFE anticipatory protection, Collision Prevention Assist Plus with autonomous braking, Attention Assist, ESP with Crosswind Assist, ABS and an active bonnet. Isofix points are fitted on the outer rear seats. The Coupé itself was not given a separate Euro NCAP rating, but the related GLE models scored highly in later tests.
Living with the car means watching tyre and brake wear on the large wheels, especially 21-inch AMG items, and keeping the air suspension serviced. Regular dealer visits maintain the full history that helps residual value. The powered tailgate and reversing camera make everyday loading and parking straightforward.
