Trim Levels of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Comfy, quiet, and practical, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE knows how to check all the right boxes. While it’s also available as a coupe, we’re sticking to the SUV trims for this rundown.

Trim Levels of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE

GLE 350 SUV

This is the most down-to-earth GLE you can get. It’s powered by a 255-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with a mild hybrid setup. It comes with five seats by default, but if you need to carry a few extra people, there’s an optional third row that opens up space for seven.

Tech-wise, the GLE sets you up with two easy-to-use 12.3-inch screens that stretch across the dash. For maximum comfort, splurge on the Pinnacle trim, which adds a premium Burmester audio system, ventilated front seats with massage, a head-up display, heated and cooled front cupholders, and even an in-cabin fragrance diffuser.

GLE 350 4MATIC® SUV

The previous trim was rear-wheel drive. This one is all-wheel drive, which means better grip and confidence whether you’re facing bad weather or rough roads.

GLE 450 4MATIC® SUV

This trim ditches the inline-four engine in favor of a 3.0-liter inline-six, so you’re getting a solid bump in power (375 horsepower now) and a quicker zero-to-sixty time of 5.3 seconds. Another standout feature you’ll find here (but in the GLE 350 models) is the AIRMATIC® suspension. With the push of a button, you can raise the ride height for extra ground clearance or lower the rear end to make loading cargo easier.

GLE 450e 4MATIC® SUV

The GLE 450e 4MATIC® is the plug-in hybrid in the lineup. It can drive up to 49 miles on electric power alone, which is plenty for daily errands or commuting. Plug it into a compatible fast charger, and it’ll go from 10 to 80% in about 20 minutes.

GLE 580 4MATIC® SUV

This trim comes with a big biturbo V8 that delivers 510 horsepower, 538 lb-ft of torque, and a zero-to-sixty time of just 4.3 seconds. As a top-spec model, it also comes well-stocked: self-leveling AIRMATIC® suspension, ventilated front seats, a Burmester surround sound system, Dolby Atmos with sound personalization, and built-in music streaming.

AMG® GLE 53 4MATIC®+ SUV

As the name suggests, this one’s been through the AMG® workshop. Highlights include a 429-horsepower AMG®-enhanced 3.0-liter inline-six, an AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9-speed gearbox, high-performance tires, and AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ all-wheel drive.

AMG® GLE 63 S 4MATIC®+ SUV

The top-of-the-line AMG® GLE 63 S 4MATIC®+ SUV packs serious hardware: a handcrafted 603-horsepower AMG® 4.0-liter V8 biturbo, 285 mm front and 325 mm rear high-performance tires, an AMG® high-performance braking system with red calipers, plus all the luxury features you could want in a high-end SUV.
