Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient
Easy personalization thanks to abundant standard and optional features
Impressive handling for an SUV

Cons
Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space

The 2022 BMW X4 crossover goes back for styling seconds: you’ll have to judge whether it’s worth the calories.

Pros
Willing turbocharged engines
Balanced handling
Scalding M performance
Excellent interior tech
Lots of available safety gear

Cons
Style not for everyone
So-so rear-seat human space
So-so cargo space
Mega M price tag

By:

Updated styling elements mark the 2022 model year for the X4. BMW has tweaked the grille, the bumpers, exterior lighting elements, and wheel designs this year and has reworked the X4's center console. The hot M40i model gains a 48-volt hybrid system and larger 12.3-inch infotainment and gauge displays are now standard.

Pros
Nicely balanced chassis,
powerful turbocharged engine options,
cool fastback exterior styling.

Cons
Snug rear seat space,
cargo room not as generous as X3's,
sober interior styling.

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class ranked #12 in Luxury Midsize SUVs. Currently the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class has a score of 8.3 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 46 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
Lots of powerful engine choices
Posh interior
Above-average cargo space (in non-coupe models)
Lengthy features list

Cons
Less athletic than many competitors
Coupe has limited cargo space and visibility
Finicky engine stop-start system

By:

Performance, plug-in, or pedestrian: there’s a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE for almost every luxury-SUV buyer.

Pros
Wide palette of body styles, powertrains, trims
GLE Coupe, for the well-to-do contrarian
Powertrain choice abounds
Composed, quiet ride

Cons
AMG = $$$
Not so fuel-efficient
Addled infotainment interface
Odd feature availability
Coupe body costs money, space

By: 
thecarconnection.com

The AMG GLE 43 is slightly more powerful, increasing engine output from 362 horsepower to 385 hp. Otherwise, the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class is unchanged for 2018.

PROS
Multiple available powertrains make each model distinct
Interior is quiet, upscale and roomy
Abundant list of standard safety, tech and luxury features
AMG variants are seriously quick

CONS
Not many places to store small personal items
Punishing ride on AMG models, with little benefit to handling
Ride quality with the standard suspension isn't as comfy as we expect
Base V6's acceleration is merely adequate
