The Mercedes-Benz GLE remains one of the most luxurious and capable midsize SUVs on the road. At Mercedes-Benz of Kalamazoo, serving Paw Paw, MI, Portage, MI, Plainwell, Allegan, and Battle Creek, MI, we’re excited to highlight the key differences between the 2025 and 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE models—two exceptional vehicles that combine power, technology, and comfort in signature Mercedes-Benz fashion.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE carried over much of its recent redesign, featuring a bold front fascia, advanced LED lighting, and refined interior materials. Equipped with a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine with mild-hybrid technology in the GLE 350 and a robust 3.0L inline-6 in the GLE 450, the 2025 model delivered the perfect mix of strength and sophistication. Inside, it boasted the intuitive MBUX infotainment system, dual 12.3-inch displays, and a full suite of Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive safety features, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist.
For 2026, Mercedes-Benz introduces subtle but meaningful updates that elevate the GLE’s luxury experience even further. The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE features refreshed exterior styling with updated grille and wheel designs, new color options, and enhanced cabin materials for an even more premium feel. Under the hood, engine efficiency has been refined for smoother performance and improved fuel economy. Technologically, the 2026 model enhances connectivity through faster MBUX response times, expanded voice command capabilities, and seamless over-the-air software updates.
Both the 2025 and 2026 GLE models deliver exceptional performance and comfort, but the latest model offers a more refined, intelligent driving experience.
