Porsche Cayenne Vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class: Compare Cars - The Car Connection
he Porsche Cayenne and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class both aim to seduce busy, affluent parents with premium ambiance, real luxury-vehicle cabins, and performance that might help them forget the grind of the commute and child ferrying. While the Porsche Cayenne is now a known entity around upper-crust suburbs, the GLE is a new badge for 2016. It’s familiar territory, though, as it’s essentially a refreshed-and-rebadged version of the third-generation M-Class that’s been around... The current Cayenne has been around since 2011, although an all-new model isn’t likely due until the 2018 model year. Yet this model still looks reasonably fresh, as for the 2015 model year Porsche gave it some revised sheetmetal, an improved feature set, and some new powertrains. The Cayenne’s high-utility form might not be that of any Porsche before it, but it mates that with a front-end appearance that calls itself out as a Porsche quite convincingly. While some of Mercedes-Benz’s latest products like the new C-Class and GLA-Class have taken more radical steps with exterior styling and have a plush, above-the-top feel inside—the GLE-Class follows its M-Class lineage closely.
