Is the GLE imported or domestically produced?

GLEs are all imported and not domestically produced. Below is an extended introduction to it: 1. GLE brand introduction: The GLE is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the Mercedes-Benz brand, and this model also has a coupe version. 2. GLE powertrain introduction: It uses a total of three engines, which are a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine, and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. 3. GLE suspension introduction: The front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The double-wishbone suspension can reduce the body's roll angle and also minimize brake dive. The multi-link suspension can improve the wheel's grip.

The GLE is a Mercedes-Benz SUV model, primarily imported from Germany or the United States, and is not domestically produced. I've driven a friend's GLE, and he mentioned it was shipped directly from the German factory, taking several months to arrive. The advantage of imported cars is their finer craftsmanship, with the engine and chassis retaining authentic German technology, providing a more stable driving experience. However, the downside is the significantly higher price due to import taxes and shipping costs, and maintenance can be more troublesome, requiring visits to specialized shops. Mercedes-Benz has domestically produced models in China, such as the GLB, but the GLE has always maintained its imported status, likely to preserve its premium image. If you prioritize quality and cost is not an issue, the imported version is great; otherwise, considering a domestically produced SUV might be more economical.

I heard that the GLE is basically imported, and Mercedes-Benz doesn't produce it locally in China. Last year when I was researching car purchases, the 4S store salesperson said all GLEs are shipped from overseas, mostly made in Germany. Imported cars have high reliability, but the cost goes up, with the final price reaching around 700,000 to 800,000 RMB, significantly more expensive than domestically produced Mercedes-Benz. The advantage is the good resale value; you won't lose much when selling it after a few years. Domestic cars like the Haval H9 are more affordable, but as a luxury SUV, the GLE's import status makes it more appealing. The automotive market is changing, and Mercedes-Benz might localize the GLE in the future, but for now, it's purely imported. I suggest you take a test drive to experience the driving quality of an imported car.

The GLE is an imported vehicle, and Mercedes-Benz has several factories worldwide producing it, such as in Germany and the United States, but it is not manufactured in China. This leads to higher prices, with import taxes and logistics adding hundreds of thousands to the cost. Domestic cars have lower costs, but the GLE's imported status gives it unique appeal and more advanced technology. I recommend that if the budget allows, the import is worth it; otherwise, consider domestic alternatives.
