Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Seats
Mercedes-AMG says much of this five-seat SUV's extra 39mm of body length (compared to its predecessor) has gone into the rear passenger space, and this seems true when it comes to legroom. You definitely notice the decline of the C-Pillar, though, making an otherwise large space feel slightly claustrophobic, particularly with the 53's dark headlining and heavily tinted rear windows.

Reasons not to buy a GLE?
If you want a Benz GLE, and you can afford it, then do it. It's not stupid if it makes you happy. Definitely go for a car that's in stock at a dealership to get the best deal.

Considering premium performance SUVs
The V8 in the SRT8 sounds great but the core quality is no match for a Mercedes. If you like driving, the new GLE 63 would be my pick.

The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53's cabin is almost as confronting as its exterior. Up front you're met with an assault of chrome, a ventilation overload and a totally dominant expanse of screens.
