2015 ML250 vs 2016 GLE350
Hello all.
I used to own a 2008 ML320, 2008 GL320, & a 2006 E320 CDI so I'm familiar with diesels. I'm not too familiar with the e/ml 250. I've heard good things about the ML250. I haven't heard a lot about the GLE350, probably because it's new for 2016. Is it pretty much a face-lifted ML350?
Also, I can get a 2015 ML250 with under 10,000 miles for about the same price as a 2016 GLE350, also with under 10,000 miles. Is getting the diesel worth it being one year older?

Yes, just facelift. Not a full redesign.
You should be able to get the 2015 250 for a bit less than the the 2016 GLE. IIRC, the diesel premium is only $1500 compared to a gas AWD. $4000 premium to the gas RWD.
Hopefully MB brings back the V6 diesel.

GLE 350 has the same gas engine as the previous ML350. In your case though, nevermind the facelift, you comparing a 4 cylinder diesel to a 6 cylinder gas engine. You have to drive both as they each have very different types of power delivery.
