At present, in the mid-to-large SUV market of luxury brands, the BMW X5 is very popular. On the one hand, this is because BMW X5 is a classic model built by a first-line luxury brand, with good product power and market reputation, and on the other hand, because BMW X5 has been made in China, it is the only domestically produced model in the first-line brand luxury medium and large SUV, with a guide price of 612,000-800,000, which has a certain price advantage. But now Mercedes-Benz GLE has also ushered in a price cut, and even a price reduction of more than 100,000, in the face of such a price reduction, will you still choose BMW X5?

At present, the guide price of Mercedes-Benz GLE is 699,800-889,800, including 5 2024 models and 2 2024 facelifted models, of which the 2024 models have a drop of 100,000 or even higher in the terminal, and the actual naked car price of the entry model is less than 600,000. On the other hand, the domestic version of BMW X5 generally does not have price concessions in the terminal, but now the imported Mercedes-Benz GLE will have a slight advantage in terms of price. So, is the Mercedes GLE worth buying? Let's break it down in detail.

Mercedes-Benz GLE is based on the exclusive platform MHA of Mercedes-Benz medium and large SUVs, with a fashionable and young appearance, the front grille is called the "night galaxy", and a relatively thick horizontal chrome decorative strip can be seen in the middle of the grille, and a large number of dot matrix elements are added to the internal grille, presenting a visual effect similar to the shining galaxy. On both sides of the grille, you can see a relatively wide light group, the internal light source provides geometric multi-beam LED headlights, and the newly adjusted LED daytime running lights are used, and the visual effect is more technological.

Coming to the side of the body, the recognition of Mercedes-Benz GLE is relatively high, the C-pillar position can see a unique yacht-like design, with a certain inclination, and the rear triangular window is connected to the rear windshield, so that the side is very different from the general model. Looking at the tail again, the tail light group is similar to a diamond shape, the overall shape is relatively flat, and the two light groups are connected by a silver chrome decorative strip, which increases the sense of refinement of the tail. In order to meet the current consumer's pursuit of performance, Mercedes-Benz GLE also provides AMG body surround components and night color components, if you pursue a sense of ritual when traveling, Mercedes-Benz GLE also has a unique dynamic star emblem welcome light.

Next, looking at the body size, the length, width and height of the Mercedes-Benz GLE are 4927/2018/1797mm, and the wheelbase is 2995mm. The domestic version of the BMW X5 has a length of 5060mm and a wheelbase of 3105mm. It is not difficult to see that the body size of the Mercedes-Benz GLE has little advantage in front of the domestic version of the BMW X5, but from the perspective of riding experience, the standard 5-seat Mercedes-Benz GLE has a "big five-seater" cockpit, so there is no need to worry about the riding space.

Inside the cockpit, Mercedes-Benz GLE adopts a family design language, and you can see the dual-screen with a through-type design, which also has a certain sense of science and technology in the current automobile market. There is a unique groove structure behind the screen, and there are large-sized air conditioning vents on both sides, which also adds to the cockpit design of Mercedes-Benz GLE, and the steering wheel is a three-spoke design surface with a large number of black mirror materials, and the design of the entire steering wheel is relatively unique. Mercedes-Benz GLE is also equipped with the second-generation MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system, which has a lot of commonly used third-party APPs, supports listening to songs, videos and other functions, and also supports "real-world navigation through navigation", which can superimpose the real-life road environment and virtual navigation indication information to make the navigation display more intuitive.

In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz GLE is equipped with two engines, 2.0T and 2.5T, with a maximum power of 258 hp and 367 hp respectively, and a maximum torque of 400 Nm·m and 500 Nm·m respectively. For reference, the 2.0T engine of the 2023 BMW X5L has a maximum power of 258 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm ·; The 3.0T engine has a maximum power of 381 hp and a maximum torque of 520 Nm ·. It should be noted that the Mercedes-Benz GLE is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system that can achieve 0-100% torque distribution between the front and rear axles, and is equipped with air suspension.

In short, before the price reduction, Mercedes-Benz GLE did not have much advantage in the face of BMW X5L, but now Mercedes-Benz GLE has also ushered in a significant price adjustment in the terminal, and the comprehensive cost performance has increased a lot, and it can also maintain competitiveness in the face of BMW X5L. So, putting the Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5L together, which model would you be more inclined to choose?
