Hi I am new I need some help on Mercedes - Benz GLE 350 or 550e 36 mo 12k , What is the best price for june 2017 out there I am in california. thanks.
you are comparing an SUV with a sedan! interesting! Both these cars don’t lease well. are you looking to buy or lease? Use the search option to read up. there’s a lot of info on the site already on these 2 overpriced machines.
I think OP is asking for numbers on GLE350 and GLE550e.
Too early in the month to know the MF/RV for this month. Wait a few days to get the numbers, wait til closer to end of the month to get a deal.
Ahhh ok …
Doron - This forum is not a car quoting/buying service. What you do is you research the deals, post them and the experts here evaluate and tell you if you can do better.
Not lease advice (the 550e has piss poor residuals btw) but a few observations from my research for your consideration:
The 550e handles like crap. The battery upsets the balance of the car too much, overwhelms the suspension, and on he low rolling resistance fuel efficient tires means grip is awful. It’s borerline unmanageable in quick lane changes - it would be terrifying in a moose test…
The charge point is located in the rear bumper…an afterthought to accommodate the technology in a platform not really designed to receive a battery - it was the cheapest place to route it to and a plastic door is cheap to make. However that’s not the main issue - what is the most common place to get rear ended or clipped /swiped - yup the rear 3/4 of the car - where the charge point is.
The electric range is 12 miles…which is next to useless.
Apparently the 2018 model 550e will have improvements on the hybrid technology and might be worth waiting for - but I’d get the X5 40e if it were me (and that’s what I did )
