    Mercedes was one of the first premium car makers to move into the SUV business, with its ML model challenging the Range Rover back in the late 1990s. Ginny finds out if the latest version of this big Mercedes SUV, now known as the GLE, can still compete against its rivals.

    In the states, we get a 4 cylinder gas engine. My parents purchased it with steel spring suspension and 19" wheels. It rides really well. It's a really tall vehicle. It's almost like sitting up in a G-Wagen. It handles far better than the prior version. It actually has more interior space than the X5 - both in the second row and the boot.
