2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs 2020 BMW X5
October 30 2019,
The luxury mid-size SUV segment is packed with high-quality models that are battling it to get the attention of buyers looking for luxury and refinement. Strangely, however, two models often come back to the top of the list despite the fact that there are many options in the segment.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE and the 2020 BMW X5 are two of the best-selling models in the segment, if not the best-selling ones. The first difference between the all-new GLE and the BMW X5 is that the Mercedes-Benz is more affordable by about $6,000. That’s because it offers an entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder engine that packs plenty of punch while also being more efficient.
Price isn’t the only area where the Mercedes-Benz GLE has a slight advantage over the BMW X5. Let’s take a closer look.
Technology
You will find some exclusive features in the Mercedes-Benz GLE that you will not find in the new BMW X5. The perfect example is the exclusive E-ACTIVE Body Control, a unique system that can bounce the GLE out of a snowbank or if it is stuck in sand. This system makes getting out of very tight spots easy and makes the GLE the better option if you need to head off the beaten path.
Comfort
This is definitely the main differentiator between the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE and the 2020 BMW X5. Interior space is truly impressive in the GLE, but comfort is where the Mercedes-Benz stands out from its eternal rival. The GLE is by far the more refined and luxurious of the two.
Interior space
The GLE is a little more spacious than the X5 too. Indeed, it has for example 690 liters of cargo space which is slightly higher than the X5. In the cabin, it's the same thing as the Mercedes-Benz offers a little more space for passengers.
