2022 Genesis GV80 VS 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Last year’s debut of Genesis’ first premium SUV challenged both the Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5. This year Genesis ups the ante and continues to give staples in the luxury SUV segment a run for their money. To help you choose the right vehicle for you and your family, Genesis of NW San Antonio is comparing the 2022 Genesis GV80 to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE.

The Mercedes-Benz gets only a minor update from 2021 to 2022 and smart buyers may be better off choosing the earlier year model. The 2022 GV80 on the other hand adds an entirely new trim to its line-up giving buyers even more options for spacious, family seating configurations.

Performance Comparison

The 2022 GV80 is powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder engine that generates a whopping 300-horsepower on the 2.5T 14 RWD and AWD trims. The 3.5T V6 AWD and the Advanced+ Trim both pack up to 375-horsepower generated by a 3.5-liter twin turbocharged V6.

The GLE’s base trim, on the other hand, only generates 255-horsepower and doesn’t surpass the GV80 until its top trim which starts at $10,000 above the GV80 3.5T before adding any optional features.

Both the GLE and the GV80 have some off-road capabilities, but the GV80’s all-wheel drive models come with electronic limited-slip differential to handle any terrain the owner wants to traverse. It also offers five driving modes.

Safety Features Comparison

Both the 2022 GLE and the 2022 GV80 received the IIHS top safety pick + award and come standard with safety features unparalleled outside of the SUV segment.

Some of the Genesis GV80 features include lane keeping assist, rear cross-traffic and collision avoidance assist, as well as unique features such as the family focused Ultrasonic rear occupant alert that notifies drivers of little-one or pets that are inside the vehicle when you exit.
