The redesigned 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE will start at $54,695, including destination, when it reaches showrooms next spring. The starting price is $2,000 less than in the previous model year but the base model for 2020 comes with a 4-banger and rear-wheel drive, whereas the previous base model had a V-6 and all-wheel drive. Nevertheless, the 2020 GLE even as the base GLE350 model is a well-sorted vehicle, with its 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 sending 255 horsepower to the rear wheels. Upgrading to the all-wheel-drive GLE350 4Matic will cost you an additional $2,500. Should you want greater...

Mercedes-Benz is shaking up its GLE range for the 2017 model year. Most of the models carry over unchanged from the previous year but a new Mercedes-AMG GLE43 is joining the ranks. It replaces both the GLE400 and GLE450 AMG as Mercedes looks to streamline its relatively confusing hierarchy of models. The GLE43 is the ninth model to receive AMG’s “43” badging. Its specifications are almost identical to those of the outgoing GLE450 AMG, including the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 which is rated at 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque. This is enough for 0-62 mph...
