BMW X5 xDrive 50e and Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de 4MATIC are interpretations of mid-size premium SUVs, and two approaches to plug-in hybrid powertrains.
25 years ago the X5 was BMW’s first SUV. It’s fourth generation G05 has been given a facelift.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 de 4MATIC presented in this comparison is the face-lifted version of the fourth-generation midsize luxury SUV. Until the middle of the third generation was called the ML. It wasn't until after the third-generation facelift that it was renamed the GLE to fit the new model nomenclature.
I’ll compare design, boots, rear seats, cockpits, infotainment systems, hybrid powertrains, ride and handling, and finally we’ll do a simple off road test.
