Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The all-new 2021 GLE-class is back and badder than ever. Based on the new Mercedes-Benz GLE-class SUV, these high-performance models bring a higher level of luxury along with fire-breathing engines.

Pros
Two excellent twin-turbo engines,
truly luxurious interior,
unique air-suspension abilities.

Cons
Awkward-looking coupe variant,
coupe reduces practicality,
heaviness reduces responsiveness.

Effortless acceleration from either engine.

Roofline compromises backseat headroom
Cargo space is similar to a compact SUV's

Pros

High-tech safety and off-road features

Cons

Land Rover reopens the book on one of its most iconic nameplates with the all-new 2020 Defender. Its boxy shape and retro details combine with design language found on modern Land Rovers to create an appearance that's both sophisticated and nostalgic. While the 2020 Defender looks like an ordinary crossover, it has serious off-road capabilities and rugged equipment that help it live up to its go-anywhere heritage.
