Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz GLE now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

- Tech: The latest model brings a 12.3-inch digital driver display, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a native digital voice assistant.
- Safety: The latest model adds the Driver Assistance Package with adaptive cruise control, lane keep and centring assist, evasive steering assist, front cross-traffic braking assist, and Active Emergency Stop Assist.
- Starting price: The 2026 Mercedes GLE’s base price is roughly mid-pack, and the GLE starts below the Audi Q8, the BMW X5, the Lexus GX, and the Porsche Cayenne.
If you're buying used today, the 2023 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Love the vehicle! Great value and I think it’s beautiful.

Luxurious appointments combined with practical transportation. Performance is sporty enough (450 and 450e versions) and AMG options are available but at considerably higher costs.

This car is top of the line in smaller SUVs. It is far superior to other vehicles this size including Cadillac, Lexus, Buick, and Acura.

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE adheres too strictly to the automaker’s original luxury crossover SUV recipe.
Mercedes introduced the ML-Class in the late 1990s, a blobby-looking luxury SUV focused on on-road comfort. Almost 30 years later, the GLE — the ML’s replacement — follows that model’s founding formula but with modern powertrains and technology. The 2026 GLE is available in standard and “coupe” body styles equipped with four-, six-, and eight-cylinder engines. For the 2026 model year, the six-cylinder GLE 450 features a standard AMG Line exterior design.
Verdict: The midsize Mercedes GLE is the second most popular model the company sells in North America (behind the smaller GLC crossover SUV). That’s easy to understand given consumer preferences for SUVs and the GLE’s overall appeal. Still, it is time for Mercedes to redesign this model.
