A thunderclap in the flat land, the domestic BMW X5 is listed, for the luxury medium and large SUV market, this is not good news, BMW X5 domestic sales are very good, now the price is lower after the domestic production, other first- and second-tier luxury brands can not be in a hurry? Lincoln Aviator, Volvo XC90, Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE have all increased their preferential efforts to compete with the domestic BMW X5, and the domestic BMW X5 with price advantage has instead increased its sales. Obviously, BMW has taken a step to "faint move", and it could have taken advantage of the chase, but it has exhausted its advantages. Perhaps, BMW is testing the "bottom line" of consumers, but this process makes consumers very disgusted. To be honest, the domestic BMW X5 is not the only option, its "flat" model is too much, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7 although not domestic, but their terminal prices are similar to the domestic BMW X5. It is a very subtle price difference, why do consumers choose domestic cars instead of imported cars? Is it just because the domestic BMW X5 has been lengthened by 130mm?
Compared with the imported BMW X5 that is not spacious rear space, the domestic BMW X5 lengthened by 130mm, does solve the problem that it has always existed in the back row space cramped, but the imported BMW X5 rear space is not spacious, does not mean that other imported large and medium-sized SUVs also exist in the same situation, Mercedes-Benz GLE's rear space performance is good, do not need to lengthen it has not inferior to the domestic BMW X5 space performance, and it is very favorable at this stage, the terminal price does not open the gap with the domestic BMW X5. It can be seen that those friends who cannot accept the price increase are not without choice, and the overall performance of Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 is also good.
Compared with the domestic BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE does not have an advantage in engine displacement, although their entry-level power is 2.0T engine, but in terms of high-end power, BMW X5 is a 3.0T engine, while Mercedes-Benz GLE is only a 2.5T engine, the magic is that the book data of the Mercedes-Benz GLE 2.5T engine is better than the 3.0T engine of BMW X5, and the 3.0T engine of BMW X5 is 333 hp /450 Nm of book data. The Mercedes-Benz GLE's 2.5T engine is a 367 hp/500 Nm book figure. In addition, the acceleration performance of the two is very similar, BMW X5 (3.0T) is 6 seconds to break the hundred, Mercedes-Benz GLE (2.5T) is 5.9 seconds to break the hundred, the cylinders of these two engines are L6 arrangement, Mercedes-Benz GLE engine displacement is small, but in terms of power output, it is not weaker than bmw X5.
Compared with BMW X5, the interior of Mercedes-Benz GLE is more upscale, whether it is material or workmanship, this car belongs to the superior performance in the same class of models, on the luxurious atmosphere of the interior, if Mercedes-Benz dares to say second, I believe no one dares to say that it is the first. In addition, Mercedes-Benz GLE also has a little sincerity, domestic BMW X5 only the top model is equipped with air suspension, and Mercedes-Benz GLE in addition to the standard model and sub-low model, the rest of the models are equipped with air suspension, even 2.0T models are equipped with this configuration, which is really rare in this level of luxury medium and large SUVs, such as Audi Q7 is a 3.0T model with air suspension, Volvo XC90 is a top model.
Mercedes-Benz GLE rear space is still very spacious, but its seats have a certain upward angle, the ride texture is closer to the car, most of the SUV rear seats are straight, like Mercedes-Benz GLE this seat with a large angle up is really rare, as for the ride comfort, this thing is a matter of opinion, some people like to sit like this, some people do not like.
As for its shortcomings, according to the owner's reputation, Mercedes-Benz GLE has shortcomings such as brake noise, seat noise, poor low speed and smoothness of the transmission, 2.0T engine starting meat, and unreasonable steering wheel weight.
In terms of price, we learned from the Beijing dealer that at this stage, the Mercedes-Benz GLE full range of discounts of 84,000 yuan, combined with its nearly a year of preferential treatment, the market discount of this car is not stable, less when only 20,000 or 30,000, more than 100,000 yuan. Therefore, the preferential treatment of 84,000 yuan at this stage can be described as not high or low, which may be caused by the instability of the supply of vehicles. Through the price of Beijing area, the price of Mercedes-Benz GLE and domestic BMW X5 is very close, in exchange for you, if you choose between these two models, how will you choose?
