Comparison: Boot space Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. competitors 2025

How much cargo can handle this ?

When it comes to imposing chariots of the road, the Mercedes-Benz GLE doesn't just glide; it swaggers with a boot spacious enough to house a small orchestra. The luxury SUV segment is a battlefield where automakers duel with leather and legroom, but it's in the trunk space where battle scars are truly earned. For the discerning buyer who demands not just a ride, but a throne room on wheels, the GLE's cargo hold is a veritable banquet hall.

Mercedes-Benz GLE - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Since its inception, the GLE has seen a curious evolution of boot space, akin to watching a magician's hat – just when you think you know its size, it surprises again. The GLE's 2015-2019 (GLE 166/292) and the 2019-2023 (GLE 167) generations boasted a hearty 690 liters, enough to make competitors weep into their car mats. However, in a twist that might leave some scratching their heads, the latest 2023 facelift (GLE 167) tightened its belt to 630 liters. But fear not, for with seats folded, the space expands to a cavernous 2055 liters, proving that while it may have shed some liters, its ability to swallow belongings remains undiminished.

The boot space compared to other Mercedes-Benz models

In the grand tapestry of Mercedes-Benz, the GLE boot space is a testament to the brand's commitment to luxury, sitting proudly among its siblings. It eclipses the more diminutive confines of the GLA and even the GLC, making them look like mere glove compartments by comparison. Yet, it humbly bows before the majestic Mercedes-Benz GLS, with its boot space that rivals some small apartments. In this family, size does matter, and the GLE is comfortably in the upper echelon, offering a sanctuary of space only a few can match within the brand.

How does the boot space of the Mercedes-Benz GLE compare to it's nearest competitors?

When the Mercedes-Benz GLE sizes up its competition, it's akin to a well-dressed gentleman calmly surveying his rivals across the ballroom. The Tesla Model Y, with its whopping 854 liters, might seem like it could outpace the GLE, but remember, it's not just about size – it's how you use it. The Audi Q7 towers with a voluminous 775 liters, revealing that when it comes to boot space, the GLE is not the undisputed king but rather a very strong contender in a royal court of luxury SUVs. Each vehicle brings its own to the table; BMW's X6 and the Audi Q8 present formidable challenges, yet the GLE, with its heritage and design, offers a compelling narrative that is hard to overlook. The dance of dimensions continues, and in this intricate ballet, the GLE moves with grace, offering a blend of functionality and luxury that many find just right.
