The Mercedes-Benz GLE specifications reward study by variant, since three engines are on offer with 4MATIC across the board. Each adds mild-hybrid help and a nine-speed automatic. The spread of power across the range is wide. The range covers a four-cylinder and two six-cylinder engines. Power climbs sharply as you move up the trims. Torque peaks vary widely between them.

The 300d uses a 2.0 litre diesel with 265 bhp and 550 Nm. The 450 brings a 375 bhp straight-six petrol that is smooth and quick. The flagship 450d pairs a 362 bhp inline-six diesel with a huge 750 Nm of torque. The 450 petrol adds 500 Nm of its own.

On fuel the 2.0 litre diesel leads at 16 kmpl in both 300d trims. The six-cylinder GLE 450 petrol and GLE 450d diesel each read 11.17 kmpl. Their larger engines cost economy. Match each GLE mileage figure to its engine before choosing.

It measures 4926 mm long with a 2995 mm wheelbase, so it towers over the GLC. The boot holds 630 litres and the tank 85 litres. Ground clearance is a tall 215 mm. Width is 2157 mm and height 1797 mm, giving a commanding stance. The 300d is the only four-cylinder engine here. The two sixes sit at the top of the range.

Two of the five trims are Night Editions, which change only the exterior look. They return the same figures as the cars they are based on. The 450 petrol and 450d diesel are the six-cylinder options. Compare where the GLE variants land on price to fit your budget.

Mercedes-Benz GLE power and torque explained

The GLE gives you three engines, and all three drive every wheel through a 9 speed automatic with mild hybrid help. The 300d uses a 2.0 litre four cylinder diesel. The 450d and the 450 both step up to a 3.0 litre straight six, one a diesel and one a petrol.

They feel quite different on the road. The two diesels pull hard from low revs and stay relaxed at a cruise. The 450 petrol is the one that likes to spin higher, and it makes the most power of the three.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 2.0L Turbo Diesel Mild Hybrid spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 300d makes its full 550 Nm at 1800 rpm, so it pulls willingly from low down and feels easy in stop and go traffic. Peak power of 269 PS lands at 4200 rpm, only 2400 rpm higher, so it does its best work low down and you rarely need to rev it out. That makes it the relaxed, sensible pick for city driving and the daily commute. Before you commit, it is worth seeing what the 300d returns per litre.

The 450d is the muscle of the range, a straight six diesel that delivers 750 Nm at just 1350 rpm. That much pull so early means it surges forward the moment you touch the pedal, whether you are loaded with family and bags or overtaking on the highway. Power peaks at 367 PS at 4000 rpm, and the strong pull stays with you across a 2650 rpm band, so you rarely reach for a lower gear. Pick this one if you cover big distances and want the GLE that never feels like it is working hard.

The 450 is the petrol straight six, and it makes the most power here at 380 PS, though that peak waits until 5800 rpm. Its 500 Nm of torque comes in at 1800 rpm, so there is decent low end shove, but this is the engine that rewards you for chasing revs. That high power peak sits 4000 rpm above the torque peak, which is why it feels happiest when you stretch it out. Choose it if you love a smooth, eager petrol and do fewer long diesel hauls. For the bigger picture, browse the complete GLE story.
