Overview
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE53 AMG 4MATIC+ is a premium seven-seat SUV that combines performance and practicality, suiting buyers who want genuine off-road capability with a 3500kg towing capacity and the comfort of a luxury cabin. Its standout strength is the 3.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine delivering 320kW and 560Nm, providing spirited acceleration whilst managing 10.1L/100km fuel consumption-in line with its class and weight. The main consideration is its 2475kg kerb weight, though the five-year warranty provides strong ownership peace of mind.

Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file.

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE300d 4MATIC is a mid-size seven-seat luxury SUV that suits families wanting premium comfort with practical diesel efficiency and all-wheel-drive capability.

One thing to consider is the tare weight of 2310kg, which sits at the heavier end for its class, potentially affecting fuel economy in real-world driving compared to petrol alternatives.
