How reliable is the GLE
Need a new daily driver (wife took over RR). Was looking at getting a Range Rover SVR or a GLE63S but I had a GLS450 loaner and I was in awe how relaxing it is to drive long distances and started looking at non-AMG models. Found a used GLE350 at a Carmax dealer for $45K - I'm not sure if these come standard with air suspension like the coupe but it has distronic since those are the only two things I want.

I can get the Carmax warranty that starts after factory warranty ends - 6 years or 120K miles. I drive average 15-20K miles a year.
Any major issues with these?

If you do much night time driving at all or live in an area where as much illumination as possible is a good thing, then you are going to want to look for a model with headlights that are upgraded from the standard halogen, with the adaptive LED headlights being the best option.

I ended up getting a Land Rover Discovery. It was driven by the Land Rover regional manager and was able to get $20K off MSRP. Was a fully loaded car with an MSRP of $86K! Has LED headlights, active cruise control and air ride suspension. Got the extended warranty until 120K miles and free maintenance from the selling dealership.
