Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Mild Hybrid
The Mercedes-Benz GLE is perfect for those looking for something big and bold. Its strong exterior is complemented by a luxurious interior, with cabin materials that feel and look expensive and the two dazzling 12.3-inch displays. And the fact that the GLE is a comfortable and gentle cruiser on the road also helps here. More impressive still is the fact that it utilises a 3.0-litre turbocharged engine with 362bhp and 500Nm of torque, so every drive in the SUV is always effortless. If it's a large SUV with a large presence you're after, the GLE will suit you well.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is perfect for those that are looking for a big and bold SUV.

With the large grille housing that three-pointed grille up front, alongside those buff sides, the GLE is as imposing as they get.

Step into the cabin and you'll notice the swathes of plush leather and solid construction all around, just exuding luxury. The interior is designed to impress with its two 12.3-inch displays, which show all the necessary driving information alongside the infotainment functions clearly.

The generous exterior proportions of the Mercedes-Benz GLE translate into good space for passengers in the second-row as well. And this row of seats can be slid forward to offer up decent space for adults at the third row.

Of course, this mass also comes with a corresponding level of luxury in the Mercedes-Benz GLE. Insulation levels are high on the go in this SUV, with noise and vibration kept to a minimum, allowing you the opportunity to fully appreciate that 13-speaker Burmeister sound system. Ride quality is also excellent. Driven over bad roads, the car simply glides over any bumps and ruts in the road.

And then there's the 3.0-litre turbocharged engine, with its generous 362bhp and 500Nm of torque delivered to all four wheels, which makes moving the GLE's mass a complete breeze. Torque from this unit is always at the ready, and a creamy straight-six soundtrack is played whenever you depress the accelerator pedal hard enough.

For the high level of luxury on offer together with its sheer and imposing design, the Mercedes-Benz GLE wins our award for the premium SUV of 2021.
