Redesigning its previous version, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE defines cutting-edge technology at its finest. It offers balanced performance, guaranteeing a luxurious experience for its would-be owners. This ride is gifted with a classy cabin too, defining what it can offer in terms of design.
There are also plenty of safety technologies in the 2020 Lexus RX 350. This has plenty of standard safety technologies too, offering a comfortable ride to users.
Design & Style
The Mercedes-Benz GLE basically seats up to five people. However, it is good news that there are trim levels that can be expanded to seat seven instead of the usual. The addition of a third row is not a problem with this ride. There is still plenty of space to accommodate even taller passengers. All in all, this ride is elegant. Thanks to the use of premium cabin materials.
The RX 350 can likewise basically seat up to five people, but this can be expanded to accommodate seven passengers instead. While the first two rows offer comfort, the additional third-row cramps up space. It does not have ample cargo room to carry your luggage for a long weekend. While there are soft-touch surfaces in the Lexus, it cannot be denied that opponents are more upscale in this criterion.
Technology & Safety
The all-new Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system is one of the pride of the GLE. This is fitted with a reliable 12.3-inch touchscreen which has gesture controls that can help with how to use other functionalities that it has been gifted with. Standard safety features for this ride include a rearview camera, active brake assist blind-spot monitoring, active brake assist, and driver attention monitoring. It also has a standard active parking assist, a feature that can be used in order to use the parking sensors to automatically steer the SUV when moving through parallel parking spaces.
The 2020 Lexus RX 350, on the other hand, only has an eight-inch touchscreen for its infotainment interface. It has *Bluetooth®, six USB ports, a nine-speaker sound system, satellite radio, and HD radio. Standard driver aids for the car include a rearview camera, forward automatic emergency braking, automatic high-beam headlights, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control.
Performance
