The trendsetting 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE is a luxury midsize SUV perfect for active Annapolis families, everyday commuters, and road-trippers alike. With its thrilling combination of high-end technology, luxurious cabin, and exciting performance, the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV leads the luxury midsize SUV pack.
However, we understand savvy buyers will also want to test out competitors such as the BMW X5. Here is a side-by-side comparison.
Technology
One of the highlights of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE is the long list of advanced technology features. At the heart of it all is the Mercedes-Benz User Experience, also known as MBUX. The easy-to-use system integrates digital in-dash displays including a touchscreen, touch-sensitive controls, hands-free and audio streaming, and an available industry-advancing voice-control system that responds to your everyday speaking voice and phrasing of commands. You can even set up multiple user profiles of favored settings, and groups of settings can be saved as themes or moods.
Looking at the comparable version of the BMW X5, you’ll find the BMW ConnectedDrive Services, which provides some similar features. What you won’t find are the individual user profiles of the voice commands, and the advanced learning technology.
Performance
Comparing the two luxury midsize SUVs, you will see that the Mercedes-Benz SUV offers more power at the high end of the engine range. While the SUV comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter I4 with 255 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, drivers who require more oomph can upgrade to the available 603-horsepower engine. The BMW X5 has only one engine upgrade, topping out at less horsepower.
