Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Engine options of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/09\/22111506\/2021-Mercedes-Benz-GLE-B_o.jpg\" alt=\"2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV\" class=\"wp-image-11618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/09\/22111506\/2021-Mercedes-Benz-GLE-B_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/178\/2020\/09\/22111506\/2021-Mercedes-Benz-GLE-B_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Image Shown: 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The GLE 350 has a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine with 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Combined with a fuel capacity of 22.5 gallons and a 9G-TRONIC\u00ae transmission and rear wheel drive drivetrain, you\u2019ll have an EPA-estimated fuel economy* of 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. The 2021 GLE 350 4MATIC\u00ae***** has the same horsepower, torque, and fuel capacity, but with it having all-wheel drive, you\u2019ll have the 4MATIC\u00ae drivetrain. Even so, you\u2019ll also see the same EPA-estimated fuel economy* in this trim as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you step into the 2021 GLE 580 4MATIC\u00ae, things change a bit. You\u2019ll have a 4.0L V8 biturbo with EQ Boost engine with 483 hp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque. It has the same 9G-TRONIC transmission and 4MATIC\u00ae***** fully variable all-wheel drive that the GLE 350 4MATIC\u00ae***** does. However, due to its increase in power, you\u2019ll find the EPA-estimated fuel economy is different. This trim has** 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, which is a bit less than the lower trims in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AMG\u00ae GLE 53 delivers another increase in power, with its AMG\u00ae-enhanced 3.0L inline-6 turbo with EQ Boost engine that gives you 429 hp and 384 lb.-ft. of torque. This model also switches things up when it comes to drivetrain and transmission, as you\u2019ll find the AMG\u00ae SPEEDSHIFT\u00ae TCT 9-speed transmission and the AMG\u00ae Performance 4MATIC+\u00ae***** all-wheel drive. So, this gives the model an EPA-estimated fuel economy*** of 18 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last up is the 2021 Mercedes-AMG\u00ae GLE 63. This trim delivers 603 hp and 627 lb.-ft. of torque and again has the AMG\u00ae SPEEDSHIFT\u00ae TCT 9-speed transmission with the AMG\u00ae Performance 4MATIC+\u00ae***** all-wheel drive. This gives the AMG\u00ae GLE 63 an EPA-estimated fuel economy**** of 15 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/blog\/where-does-the-mercedes-benz-brand-plan-to-go-in-the-future\/\"><strong>Where does the Mercedes-Benz brand plan to go in the future?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Other SUV Options in Scottsdale, AZ<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While we do enjoy driving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbscottsdale.com\/blog\/what-are-the-luxury-features-in-the-2021-mercedes-benz-gle\/\">the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE<\/a>, there are other SUV options in Scottsdale, AZ.
