Comparing the Mercedes-Benz GLE to the Competition
See How the New Mercedes-Benz GLE Stacks Up Against the Competition in Wilmington, NC
The new Mercedes-Benz GLE is one of the foremost mid-size luxury SUVs on the market. Its potent engines, balanced ride and handling, and suave, spacious interior have made it a favorite among luxury vehicle buyers in Wilmington, NC. Other mid-size luxury SUVs like the Lincoln Aviator, Acura MDX, and Audi Q7 are also solid performers, but they don't offer the complete package like the Mercedes-Benz GLE. At Bob King Autohaus, we developed the following comparisons to help with your choice.
Performance
You'll have ample power for passing on the highways around Southport, NC in the new Mercedes-Benz GLE. It offers several muscular engine options, ranging from 255 horsepower in the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 to 504 horsepower in the Mercedes-Benz GLE 580 4Matic. You can also tow boats to Oak Island with the Mercedes-Benz GLE, which has a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.
The Lincoln Aviator only offers one engine - a 400-horsepower V6. The Acura MDX has two available engines, but it's strongest option only produces 355 horsepower. The Audi Q7's two engine choices generate 261 and 335 horsepower, respectively.
Interior Design
The new Mercedes-Benz GLE is available in five-seat and seven-seat configurations, allowing you to drive one that fits your whole family. You can also haul all your gear for outings in Hampstead, NC in the Mercedes-Benz GLE, which has 74.9 cubic feet of cargo space with all the rear seats folded down. New Bern, NC drivers will appreciate the standard hands-free liftgate in the Mercedes-Benz GLE for easy loading when their hands are full.
The Lincoln Aviator has slightly more cargo space than the Mercedes-Benz GLE, at 75.9 cubic feet with all the rear seats folded. However, it doesn't come with a hands-free liftgate, so you must buy a higher trim to add it. The Acura MDX only has 71.4 cubic feet of cargo space with the back seats down, while the Audi Q7 has just 69.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down.
Technology
The new Mercedes-Benz GLE comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster paired with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. This MBUX system has sharp, clear graphics, making it a cinch to operate while you're on the go in Morehead City. The Mercedes-Benz GLE also comes with heated front seats and a sunroof for a brighter, airier atmosphere on clear days in Jacksonville, NC.
The Lincoln Aviator also has large touchscreen displays, but some of its controls are awkwardly located. The Acura MDX has a comparable infotainment system, but its cluttered layout can make it tricky to run in some situations. The Audi Q7's dual-display infotainment arrangement can be overwhelming for some.
