A luxury SUV can transform the way you hit the roads of Hanover, Plymouth, and Braintree, Massachusetts, but in a highly saturated sector, how do you know which one is right for you? If you’re looking for smart capability, a roomy interior, and all the latest technologies, there are two models worth considering: the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5.
To help you decide which will better fulfill your driving needs, the team at Mercedes-Benz of Hanover has created this 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. BMW X5 comparison. Which will soon make its home in your driveway? Let’s find out.

SUVs are known for their versatility, giving them the ability to keep up with your daily demands. Along with robust performance, both the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5 provide expert capability, diversifying your travels.
The 2022 X5 is available with all-wheel drive, giving the vehicle extra traction and control, and works seamlessly with the model’s 8-speed automatic transmission. These systems also work to create a respectable maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds when properly equipped, allowing you to hitch up a trailer, recreational boat, and more.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE also is available with 4MATIC® All-Wheel Drive, however, this system pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission, giving this luxury SUV an additional gear to improve your driving experience. Also, this model can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly configured, 500 pounds more than its competitor.

When you take your spot at the helm in either of these SUVs, you’ll be met with some progressive features that make driving more enjoyable and a bit safer.
In the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE and BMW X5, you’ll find the following suite standard at each level:
However, there are a couple of things standard in the 2022 GLE that you won’t find in the BMW model. Wireless charging is one of them. Though the X5 is available with this feature, it’s standard in the Mercedes-Benz SUV, allowing you to charge cord-free.
The 2022 GLE also comes with Crosswind Assist, a driver-assistive technology that detects high winds when driving on the highway and can help the SUV stay on course through advanced braking. Unfortunately, nothing similar is available in the X5.
Though the BMW X5 is a stunning vehicle, with more interior space, better capability, and lots of high-end technologies, we think you’ll love driving the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE.
