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. Its standout strength is the combination of a frugal turbodiesel with a claimed 6.6L/100km consumption, paired with a 3500kg towing capacity and comprehensive safety credentials including a 5-year warranty. 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.

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE450d 4MATIC is a seven-seat diesel SUV that suits families and fleet buyers wanting premium comfort with practical towing capacity of 3500kg and a spacious 630-litre boot. Its standout strength is the efficient 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine whilst achieving just 7.4L/100km-genuinely low consumption for a vehicle of this size and capability. One thing to consider: at approximately $1884 annually in running costs, it's not the cheapest to operate in its class, so factor this into your long-term ownership budget alongside the five-year warranty and five-star ANCAP rating.

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 and associated annual running costs of around $1884, which reflect the premium fuel, servicing, and insurance typical of AMG-badged vehicles, though the five-year warranty provides strong ownership peace of mind.

Its standout strength is the combination of advanced safety credentials, authentic towing capability (3500kg) and a spacious 630-litre boot, making it genuinely practical for family adventures. The main consideration is its substantial 2490kg kerb weight and petrol-only powertrain, which means fuel costs will be higher than hybrid or diesel alternatives, particularly for high-kilometre drivers accustomed to cheaper running expenses.

Mercedes-Benz Australia printed 'TBA' against this grade's fuel consumption and CO2 in the July 2022 guide, and no GLE SUV technical data sheet survives in the archive, so we have not published consumption, emissions or mass figures for it.

The GLE 300 d 4MATIC was the diesel entry to Mercedes-Benz Australia's V167 GLE range in July 2022, rated at 180 kW and 500 Nm with a 7.2-second 0-100 km/h claim through the nine-speed 9G-TRONIC and 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive. Standard equipment is close to a fully-loaded car: a head-up display, heated front seats with four-way lumbar, 64-colour ambient lighting, twin 12.3-inch MBUX displays, a 360-degree camera with PARKTRONIC, the Driving Assistance Package with DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Active Lane Change Assist and PRE-SAFE PLUS, KEYLESS-GO with HANDS-FREE ACCESS, an EASY-PACK tailgate, aluminium roof rails and illuminated running boards, on 20-inch alloys with an 85-litre tank. We have not published its fuel or CO2 figures: the only Australian document available pairs 6.6 L/100km with 182 g/km, a combination that is chemically impossible for diesel, and there is no second source to settle it.
