With the growing popularity of the luxury SUV, Denver-area drivers have a wide selection of capable vehicles to choose from.

No other luxury SUV can match the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 for its combination of quality, capability and safety features – although many will claim to.

With its powerful 3.5-liter V6, confident off-road handling, and unmatched Mercedes-Benz quality, the GLE 350, which replaced the ML 350, is the obvious winner among mid-sized luxury SUVs. But how does the popular GLE 350 stack up against one of its worthy competitors? When going head-to-head against the Lexus RX350, it quickly becomes clear why the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 maintains its position at the top of this hard-fought category – it simply outclasses the competition.

GLE 350 Technology and Safety Features vs. Lexus RX350

For technology features, it’s hard to beat the GLE 350’s range of offerings. From the standard power liftgate, heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control, to the available heated and cooled cup-holders, the RX350 just can’t compete. There?s also Mercedes-Benz’ COMAND® system and available Bang & Olufsen premium audio system that’s not available anywhere else.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 continues the tradition of achieving the NHTSA and IIHS safety rating agencies top safety scores. This is due to active safety features such as Attention Assist, the exclusive Mercedes-Benz feature that alerts drivers when it detects that they are drowsy. The GLE 350 also has a Collision Prevention Assist feature that uses radar to alert drivers if they are approaching a vehicle too rapidly.
