The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is a powerful vehicle that provides excellent performance and a speedy acceleration time. But how does it compare to the competition? We’re going to compare this luxury model to the 2020 Cadillac XT5 in an effort to see which model you may be more interested in.

To begin, we are going to take the base trim of the GLE Coupe, meaning the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe, and the top trim of the 2020 Cadillac XT5, which is the 2020 Cadillac XT5 Sport. To begin, you’ll have a vast amount of power in the Mercedes-Benz model compared to the Cadillac SUV. This power difference allows the GLE Coupe to also accelerate almost 2 seconds faster from 0 to 60 miles per hour than the Cadillac model can. However, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe does have one downfall: the price. If you are prepared to spend $76,500* on your future vehicle, then go ahead with the Mercedes-Benz model. However, if you need to stay within a smaller budget, the Cadillac XT5 would probably be a better option.
