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.

https://www.carmax.com/car/14707365

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.

How do you compare the RR to the GLE?
