You enjoy the high-end luxury comforts, but you require the room of an SUV. No wonder you’re researching the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE. We can tell you that our Vienna customers love this vehicle. We think you will, too, once you get behind the wheel of one. But how does it stack up against the competition? To answer that question, we’ve put together a detailed, side-by-side comparison of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 vs. BMW X5.
Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 vs. BMW X5: Safety Features
The price of the Mercedes-Benz GLE makes it the more accessible option, but that’s hardly the only reason that it’s the winner in our BMW X5 vs. GLE contest. Just take a look at their safety features if you’re not yet convinced:
- The GLE comes standard with certain safety features that aren’t in the X5. Take Active Brake Assist, for instance. This feature detects imminent collisions, and warns the driver then activates the brakes with the appropriate amount of force.
- Then there’s the Crosswind Assist, which stabilizes the car and helps keep it on the road in high winds. They are great features to have, and you won’t find them in the X5.
Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. BMW X5: Seating
Comparing the Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. BMW X5, you have to be sure that your choice has enough space for your needs. The GLE is capable of seating up to seven people, while the X5 can only seat five. That’s because the Mercedes-Benz GLE comes with an optional third row of seats. So you can drive your entire family and then some wherever they need to go in the greater Great Falls area.
Mercedes-Benz GLE vs BMW X5: Technology
MBUX is a suite of state-of-the-art technical features that are exclusive to Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and it is nothing short of amazing. It includes an interior assistant that will respond when you speak (“Hey, Mercedes, it’s cold in here” or “I need a coffee.”). It will even respond when you gesture.
