ML 350
My 2021 GLE 450 has arrived...
I have taken delivery of my '21 GLE 450. August Build... ordered in May.
I put on about 350 miles so far. I am coming out of a 2013 ML350. First impressions:
1. Excellent tech - menus are not too rich. I find the OS works easily and presents very well. Swapability of gauges and main screen options very helpful.
2. Efficiency - (whawhaWHAT?!) I averaged 28 MPG last night mixed highway and suburban traffic. EQ system so far is a delight. Not intrusive and rewarding to see its operational features in the gauge pack.
3. Quietness - great NVH work... hardly hear a sound in the cabin cruising. (No whistling or other BS presents from the body)
4. Sensors/Cameras - look apt to prevent dings scraping the wheels parking.
Drawbacks ...
1. It's big/wide.
2. It's trunk space feels much shallower... IDK how a third row seat happens!
3. Out of sport mode it drives heavy... I am very happy I opted 450 over 350.
Hope this helps some buyers.

All black... my wife insisted. It looks good. Not too boring with the ambient lighting, big dash, and stitched upholestry. Did the Burmester Sound System and like the output - I have not attempted to modify the stock set equalizer.
