2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs 2017 BMW X5

As crossovers are becoming increasingly popular on American roads, luxury brands are following the trend and investing in their crossover models to make them the best of the best. To highlight one of our best-selling crossovers, we did a comparison of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs the 2017 BMW X5.

The most noticeable difference between the GLE and the X5 is the price tag—the GLE starts out around $4,000 less. However, that cheaper price tag does not require sacrifice, as the GLE offers buyers more value per every dollar spent. The GLE offers the same number of engine options as the X5, and is capable of almost just as much power. The GLE also features significantly more cargo space and towing power, offering drivers more of what they truly want from a luxury crossover model.
