I'm always passionate about studying automotive powertrain configurations, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE offers quite a diverse engine lineup. The entry-level GLE 350 comes with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine delivering 258 horsepower, which is perfectly adequate for urban commuting. The upgraded GLE 450 features a standard 3.0T inline-six engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, producing a combined 367 horsepower for exceptionally smooth acceleration. Performance enthusiasts might want to check out the AMG variants: the GLE 53 packs a more aggressively tuned 3.0T six-cylinder with mild hybrid technology, pushing out 435 horsepower, while the range-topping GLE 63 boasts a 4.0T V8 biturbo engine that rockets to 612 horsepower. The plug-in hybrid GLE 350e combines a 2.0T engine with an electric motor, offering over 80 km of pure electric range. European markets also get diesel options like the GLE 300d. Overall, the lineup covers everything from four-cylinder to eight-cylinder engines, though the 350 and 450 models are more common in China, with V8 variants being relatively rare.
