This NZ new GLE 350d sits on one particular end of the SUV market, proudly standing tall and upright with its distinctly classic SUV stance. It rides high, provides a commanding presence on the road, and the unimaginative roofline means that luggage space isn’t compromised either, resulting in the sort of practical family-friendly offering that first defined the SUV segment and their appeal .This German tank makes no qualms about its duality, with its design making it very clear that it’s just as good on road as it is off road. Under the bonnet lies a turbocharged V6 diesel motor measuring 3.0-litres in capacity, which produces a more brawny 190kW. Fuel consumption, despite the bump in power, is only slightly higher than the 250d at just 6.6L/100km, though many will appreciate the extra torque and smoother operation that this six-cylinder provides.
As the GLE was designed as a comfortable luxury family wagon from the outset, there’s little to fault if you value it as such and treat it the way it’s supposed to be treated out on the road. There’s little road and wind noise at speed, and the GLE enjoys a comfortable, relaxed ride thanks to suspension that’s tuned more towards comfort more than some of its rivals. The seats are welcoming and supportive enough on long journeys, while the inclusion of driver assistance tech means that the GLE is more than equipped to take you towards the horizon with minimal fuss.
