The
Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 Outclasses it Fiercest Competitors
The
Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 versus the Acura MDX
One of the
best ways to show the superiority of a vehicle is to put it up against its
closest competition. The Acura MDX is one such competitor, and while it is
capable in its own right, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 proves it is the superior
midsize luxury midsize SUV in a variety of ways.
Performance
Under the
hood, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 comes standard with a 2.0-liter turbo-four
engine that gets a performance output of 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of
torque. What's impressive about the GLE 350's performance output is that it
surpasses the Acura MDX's torque rating, despite the fact that the MDX comes
with a V6.
In addition,
the GLE-Class SUV has a series of engine upgrade options as you move up trim
levels. In contrast, the MDX gives buyers and lessees zero options, even with
its available performance-focused A-Spec package.
Technology
Technology
is a major point of emphasis on the design of the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 as
buyers and lessees get many state-of-the-art features that Acura MDX drivers
either have to pay extra for or don't exist at all. For starters, the
touchscreen size falls heavily in favor of the GLE 350 as it measures 12.3
inches and aligns perfectly with the 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster up top.
Meanwhile, while offering a similar dual-screen setup, the Acura MDX clocks in
with smaller eight and seven-inch screens.
