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

By:

edmunds.com

Pros
Things we like
Good electric/hybrid handover
Fuel and battery efficiency
Build quality
Not so much

Cons
Hefty price
Compromised load area
Under-servoed brakes
Paranoid parking assistance

By:

whichcar.com.au

The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best.

Pros
Good ride and handling,
fine engines,
well-finished cabin,
many high-tech options

Cons
Note that word 'options'. And the steering is a bit numb,
not helped by the thick steering wheel

By:

topgear.com

PROS
Good power and response in hybrid mode
Premium styling and high-quality cabin
Plenty of space for adults front and rear

CONS
Not a lot of grunt in EV mode
Short real-world EV range
Battery packaging impedes on cargo space
