Acure4RDX

Does anyone have real world experience with the GLE 350 SUV to make a comparison with the RDX Advance? Yes, the M-B would cost more but am looking for some advice.

More appropriate in Car Talk. Moved.

The GLE does not have the infuriating Acura infotainment system. That in itself makes it worth whatever more they are asking for it.

Also, it's bigger and better to drive. The GLE is more similar in size to the MDX than the RDX. If you care at all about performance, the GLE450 would be the one to get. The price premium isn't huge and you get a sizeable bump in power output. The GLE350 is just as quick as the RDX though. I'm in the market for a family SUV myself and this was a big contender until the wife said it wasn't big enough...

Had a GLE350 for a loaner when I had my C300.
It was probably a 2019 mid-trim/options. So, it had the prior-gen infotainment, which while not bad was a definite step back to what my C had, which is now the prio-gen.

The GLE was very comfortable on the highway & was cruising at just shy of 80mph without feeling like it.
More roll-y than the C, but that's to be expected when comparing a large SUV to a sport pkg compact sedan.

Would not have much issue with the 350, that V6 has been in use for a while & is sufficient. If you want more, without going to an AMG, the 450 is the way to go, that engine is a big step up in power.

^ The current gen GLE350 is a 2.0L turbo 4.

Thought it was a GLE300 for the 2.0T
