How does the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e handle? The Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e has the best 0 - 60 MPH time of 5.2 seconds but falls behind the BMW X5 xDrive40e in the quarter-mile mark by 2 seconds. The Bavarian powerhouse just never ceases to amaze us, and the BMW X5 manages to achieve a 5.8-second 0 - 60 MPH time and a 14.6-second quarter-mile, which is quite a lot even with its lower power output.
But the GLE 550e does take it up a notch and manages to produce enough power to cast some commendable performance figures. Plug-in hybrids are not known for being power-packed. Taking that into consideration, the quarter-mile does seem to be rather disappointing, with a time of 16.6 seconds.Ģ018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e plug-in-hybrid SUV In Acceleration Mode Galloping the SUV of this size from 0-60 MPH in 5.2 seconds is by no means, a shabby performance for a plug-in hybrid SUV. How quick is the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE550e? The BMW X5 xDrive40e has the least power output of 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. The Volvo XC90 T8 takes the second position with 400 horsepower and 472 pound-feet of torque. The Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e produces the most amount of power of 436 horsepower of power output and 479 pound-feet of torque, far more than its BMW X5 xDrive40e. The primary nature of the 550e is not to overthrow its competition with jolty power delivery, and its driving characteristics reinforce this point.ģ.0L Twin-Turbocharged V6 + 85 kW 113 hp AC Induction electric motorĢ.0L Turbocharged Inline-4 with 111 hp AC Synchronous Electric MotorĢ.0L Turbocharged Supercharged Inline-4 with 87 hp Electric Motor The power output is linear with a consistent power delivery throughout the rev bands.

With the GLE 550e, Mercedes has put itself in a very stiff competition competing with its German rival, the BMW X5 XDrive40e, and Sweden's Volvo XC90 T8.Ģ018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e plug-in-hybrid SUV Engine Bay As a GLE model, it comes with a range of premium and opulent features, with its interior encompassing a wide and spacious room that can seat five passengers.

Mercedes-Benz created a great hybrid SUV with the GLE 550e, if not an exceptional performer, at the very least. Alas, when it did get found, they were greeted by little to nothing in consolation. Creating a hybrid SUV with performance and fuel-efficiency may have been Mercedes’ main goal, but they got too carried away with trying to find the leprechaun over the rainbow. While the gasoline and diesel-powered versions are well received, the plug-in hybrid version is a contradiction. The SUVs of GLE-Class are available as gasoline-powered, diesel-powered, and plug-in hybrid powered powertrains. The Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is a mid-size SUV and is one of the brand’s most well-known and popular products from the German manufacturer’s staple.
