Armed with a 3.0L twin-turbocharged Inline-4 engine and a single 85-kW electric motor with an 8.7-kWh battery pack, fused to an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e Plug-In Hybrid SUV makes 436 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Standalone, the engine makes 362 horsepower. This powertrain helps the Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e SUV cover 0-60 in 5.3 seconds. You can drive the Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e SUV for 10 miles on the electric system alone, making it good for a small trip in the city. The Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e SUV achieves an impressive 43 MPGe combined while getting 21 MPG from the traditional engine alone. With a base price of MSRP $66,700, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 550e SUV makes a formidable competitor in the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with the Volvo XC90 Plug-in Hybrid SUV, the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid SUV, and the less powerful BMW X5 Plug-in Hybrid.
