Looking at the dimensions of all these luxury SUVs, the longest in the segment is the Audi Q7 followed by the Volvo XC90. Bear in mind that both these vehicles are offered as a 6/7-seater, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5 and Jeep Grand Cherokee are only offered as a five-seater. The GLE has the second longest wheelbase and only being a five-seater, it should offer the maximum space for rear passengers.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5 are the only two SUVs over here that offer the option of a petrol and diesel motor. Also, apart from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, all the other SUVs are offered with a 48V mild-hybrid assist. Moreover, the GLE is the only luxury SUV amongst its competition to offer two diesel powertrain options. What’s also interesting is that both the GLE and the X5’s petrol mill produces 375 bhp, but the X5 produces 20 Nm more torque than the GLE’s petrol motor. But what trumps all other vehicles is the 750 Nm of torque that the 3.0-litre diesel six-cylinder motor variant of the GLE packs.
