Best SUVs in 2024 (Compared)

2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Towing Capacity: 7,700 lbs.

If you don’t need or have room for a massive tow assistant, the GLE has the same towing capacity and is our MotoPickers top-ranking luxury midsize SUV. It has a deluxe cabin with roomy seating and great cargo capacity. The advanced safety features and the sleek, intuitive infotainment system are excellent. The drive is refined and stable.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, GLE 450, and GLE 580 can each tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. This towing capacity dips to 5,950 pounds for the rear-wheel-drive GLE 350, and it drops to 3,858 pounds for the GLE 53, so be aware of that when buying.

Every GLE offers plenty of driver assistance features, either as standard equipment or as options, including a Surround View System that uses cameras in all four directions and works in conjunction with the standard rearview camera to provide a bird’s eye view of the vehicle, active parking assist, and a multimode drive program. We think it’s a brilliant Merc.
