The 2020 GLE 350 takes our top slot because we think that this mid-sized SUV will fulfill the desires of all high-class Mercedes customers that we know and love. The standard engine option is a reliable 2.0L turbo with 255 HP – powerful enough to tackle any trip, long or short. There is also a gas-free coasting feature that maximizes engine efficiency. The 9-speed automatic transmission packs a punch and allows you to flex a little bit out on the road. As for the luxury factor, there is the amazing 64-color ambient lighting feature that allows you to curate the vibe for your drive, choose an amplified and energetic one or a calmer and peaceful one. The linear-themed dash creates an organized and user-friendly interaction experience. The 3rd-row optional upgrade allows this versatile SUV to seat up to seven passengers. We think that this SUV is a great choice for a family-focused driver who doesn’t want to sacrifice style for practicality and comfort. While it is a bit pricier than our next SUV pick, the GLA 250, we think the splurge is reasonable if passenger capacity is a priority. We recommend this crossover for the conscious consumer who still wants a stylish and practical ride.
