    Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Interior

    The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53's cabin is almost as confronting as its exterior. Up front you're met with an assault of chrome, a ventilation overload and a totally dominant expanse of screens. This all hints at the advanced tech which lies beneath, but the real wood and leather trims also elevate the cabin to something you might expect at the tall asking price.

    The brand also told us much of the extra 39mm of body length has gone into the rear passenger space, and this seems true when it comes to legroom. (image: Tom White)

    Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class FAQs

    Reasons not to buy a GLE?

    If you want a Benz GLE, and you can afford it, then do it. It's not stupid if it makes you happy. Definitely go for a car that's in stock at a dealership to get the best deal.

    Considering premium performance SUVs

    The V8 in the SRT8 sounds great but the core quality is no match for a Mercedes. If you like driving, the new GLE 63 would be my pick.

    Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Seats

    Mercedes-AMG says much of this five-seat SUV's extra 39mm of body length (compared to its predecessor) has gone into the rear passenger space, and this seems true when it comes to legroom. You definitely notice the decline of the C-Pillar, though, making an otherwise large space feel slightly claustrophobic, particularly with the 53's dark headlining and heavily tinted rear windows.

    Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Speed

    Despite a close to 2.5-tonne kerb weight, Mercedes-AMG says the twin-turbo petrol in-line six-cylinder engine's 320kW and 520Nm is enough to catapult the GLE 53 from 0-100km/h in just 5.7sec.
