The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV is an excellent choice for families seeking a new SUV. It has plenty of space for your passengers and cargo, and the safety features to keep everybody secure on the road, handily outdoing rival models like the 2025 BMW X5. The Mercedes-Benz of St. Charles team has highlighted key comparisons to show you the key differences.
Interior Space
If you need more room for your family and possessions, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV should be at the top of your list. It features 40.7 inches of front legroom and 40.9 inches of rear legroom, providing everyone with plenty of room to stretch out. Compare that to the 2025 BMW X5, which only features 39.8 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom.

Essential Safety Features
Both models come equipped with serious safety features, but the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV comes out on top. Each model includes standard Lane Departure Warning and Forward Collision Mitigation to protect you on the streets and the highway. However, the Mercedes-Benz vehicle goes one step further with standard ATTENTION ASSIST®, which continuously checks 70 different driver behaviors to ensure you’re paying attention.
