If you want to ride in luxury around Trumbull, there’s a good chance that you’ve already narrowed your list to the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. BMW X5. But between the BMW X5 vs. GLE, which is the better buy – and why? We’ve crunched the numbers and compared the features, and the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE has the stronger specs and features for a lower cost. See the results for yourself:
While both models have similar price points, the BMW X5 is over $3,000 more expensive than the Mercedes-Benz GLE. And while luxury drivers are willing to splurge for quality, we think you’ll see that the GLE offers impressive value as well as a lower starting cost. Why spend more when you can enjoy an iconic car like a Mercedes-Benz?
When you compare the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 vs. BMW X5, the 335-hp 3.0L 6-cylinder engine on the X5 is more powerful than the 255-hp 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine of the GLE. But as you move up the line, the GLE becomes the more impressive of the two. The top-tier GLE 450 4MATIC® offers 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque with its 3.0L inline-6 turbo engine, as well as a 9G-TRONIC® 9-speed automatic transmission that you won’t find in the BMW lineup.
Between the Mercedes-Benz GLE vs BMW X5, the GLE is also the better buy for bigger families. The BMW X5 offers seating for up to 5, while the GLE has space for up to seven when properly equipped. That means you won’t have to take multiple cars on your next Glastonbury trip. And though the GLE is priced lower than the X5, it offers extra technology like the exclusive voice-powered intelligent infotainment system known as Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX). Both models may offer heated front seats and memory function, but only the GLE offers the cutting-edge MBUX with natural language understanding.
