|---|---|---|---|
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
| Engine: | 3.0 Hybrid | 3.0 Diesel | |
| Hybrid engines (Mercedes GLE) excel in urban environments with superior fuel efficiency and lower emissions during stop-and-go driving. Diesel engines (BMW X6), however, are more fuel-efficient on long highway trips and provide greater torque for towing and heavy loads. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 333 HP | 249 HP | |
| Torque: | 480 NM | 560 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 5.3 seconds | 6.7 seconds | |
|
Mercedes GLE is more dynamic to drive. Mercedes GLE engine produces 84 HP more power than BMW X6, but torque is 80 NM less than BMW X6. Thanks to more power Mercedes GLE reaches 100 km/h speed 1.4 seconds faster. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Consumption: | 6.0 l/100km | ||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 80 litres | 85 litres | |

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 202 mm (8 inches) | 212 mm (8.3 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW X6 can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Dimensions | |||
| Length: | 4.80 m | 4.91 m | |
| Width: | 1.93 m | 1.99 m | |
| Height: | 1.80 m | 1.70 m | |

| Trunk capacity: | 480 litres | 580 litres | |
| Trunk max capacity: with rear seats folded down, if possible |
1800 litres | 1525 litres | |
| Mercedes GLE has 100 litres less trunk space than the BMW X6. The maximum boot capacity (with all rear seats folded down) is larger in Mercedes GLE (by 275 litres). | |||
| Turning diameter: | 11.8 meters | 12.8 meters | |
| The turning circle of the Mercedes GLE is 1 metres less than that of the BMW X6, which means Mercedes GLE can be easier to manoeuvre in tight streets and parking spaces. | |||
| Gross weight: | 3`050 kg | 2`780 kg | |
| Net weight: | 2`390 kg | 2`065 kg | |
| Load capacity: | 660 kg | 715 kg | |
| Mercedes GLE load capacity (permitted cargo and passenger weight) is par apmēram 8 procentiem less than BMW X6. Therefore, BMW X6 is more suitable for longer family trips or transporting heavier loads. | |||
| Safety: | no data | no data | |
| Quality: | high | below average | |
| Mercedes GLE has fewer problems. According to annual technical inspection data BMW X6 has serious deffects in 105 percent more cases than Mercedes GLE, so Mercedes GLE quality is probably significantly better | |||
