The 350 4MATIC® SUV is the entry-level model of the popular 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class. It offers an engaging driving experience and pampering comfort and boasts the most advanced technologies in the automotive industry. As the most affordable variant in the GLE lineup, the 350’s state-of-the-art technologies and generous list of features make it one of the best value propositions in its segment. This SUV comes with a wealth of innovative and thoughtful features to add fun, convenience, and peace of mind to your journeys, including an intuitive voice assistant and hands-free parking assistance. Let’s take a closer look at the technology and safety features of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350.

Design Evolution

Inside the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, you’re treated to a refined and well-planned cabin that features the latest trends in automotive interior design. The advanced cabin concept combines exquisite craftsmanship with user-friendly technology to deliver an unparalleled level of convenience and luxury. The cockpit of the GLE 350 looks sophisticated and futuristic with a floating, all-digital dashboard. The wide infotainment display is easy to see and operate from the driver’s seat. Four chrome-ringed center vents manage the climate for everyone’s comfort, and 64-color ambient lighting creates a warm and inviting environment inside the vehicle at night.

Cutting-Edge Technology Features

Whether you’re crawling through congested traffic or cruising on the open road, the GLE 350 will keep you informed and entertained with its innovative Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system. It’s among the most intuitive infotainment systems found in any vehicle today. It features straightforward menus, quick responses, and sharp graphics, making it a pleasure to use. MBUX allows you to interact with it in several ways, including a virtual assistant and advanced voice control. Summoned with “Hey, Mercedes,” the virtual assistant can respond to many commands, enabling you to turn up the heat, tune to your favorite radio station, and activate the seat ventilation function without taking your hands off the steering wheel. The voice control system features natural language processing capabilities, meaning it can understand conversational phrases and indirect requests. On the dashboard of the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350, you’ll find a massive dual-screen display that comprises a 12.3-inch infotainment touch screen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The Mercedes SUV also comes with plenty of tech features, including Bluetooth®, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, satellite radio, HD Radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a wireless device charger, and multiple USB ports.

Safety Innovations

Like other new Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the 2025 GLE 350 is equipped with the most advanced driver-assistance technologies to help you stay safe behind the wheel. These features include forward collision alert, forward automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, pedestrian monitoring, automated high-beam headlamps, front and rear parking sensors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, a 360-degree camera system, and hands-free parking assistance.

If you frequently need to maneuver in tight spaces, you’ll appreciate the SUV’s 360-degree camera. The system offers a birds-eye view of your vehicle, allowing you to see what’s happening in your immediate surroundings. This can help you avoid hitting other vehicles or objects when parking, backing up, or navigating narrow streets. Another impressive feature is the hands-free parking assistance system, which lets the vehicle park itself without you needing to touch the wheel.

Safety System Improvements: Ensuring Greater Protection

Aside from the driver aids we’ve mentioned, the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 also offers several first-of-their-kind safety systems that provide enhanced protection on the road. These include:
  • Car-to-X Communication: Car-to-X Communication is an industry-leading technology that enables every new GLE to automatically inform a central notification system of a certain road hazard. The system will then alert other drivers via in-dash displays or announcements so they can take precautions before reaching the hazard.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®: This system is capable of monitoring up to 70 parameters of driving behavior. If it detects signs of drowsiness, it will alert you with visual and audible warnings.
  • Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call: If an air bag or seat-belt tensioning device deploys, the GLE 350 can automatically contact the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call service and provide information about your location and vehicle. Trained representatives are on call 24/7 to dispatch emergency responders to your location.

Luxury and Comfort Features

Although it’s the most affordable Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class model, the 350 has plenty of luxury and comfort features to provide a sumptuous ride. This SUV comes standard with synthetic leather upholstery, power-adjustable and heated front seats with memory settings, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote start, and a sunroof. There’s also a hands-free power lift-gate that makes loading and unloading cargo a breeze.
