2020 Porsche Cayenne vs. 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE | Memphis, TN

Both the 2020 Porsche Cayenne and the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE feature sufficient power for the daily drive, but which SUV packs an extra punch of performance? The standard GLE 350 SUV delivers 255 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, while the higher-end GLE 450 4MATIC provides drivers with 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The most basic Cayenne model delivers almost as many horses (335 HP, to be exact) as the high-end GLE. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid nearly doubles the GLE's top horsepower with a mind-blowing 670 hp. 

The Cayenne and the GLE aren't just eye candy; the two premium SUVs deliver plenty of speed for all the adrenaline junkies. The base Mercedes-Benz GLE goes from 0-60 MPH in seven seconds flat, and cuts the time down to 5.5 seconds on the 450 4MATIC. The Cayenne's highest 0-60 mph time is just 5.9 seconds on the standard model, and a breakneck 3.6 seconds on the Turbo Hybrid model with the Sport Chrono Package equipped. With a top track pace of 183 mph, the Cayenne leaves the GLE in the dust when it comes to speed.

The Porsche Cayenne and the Mercedes-Benz GLE have just as much going on in the cockpit as they do under the hood, but which SUV delivers a superior technological experience? Both vehicles come with a well-equipped infotainment system, Apple CarPlay®, and apps that allow you to control vehicle functionality from an app on your phone. Unfortunately for the GLE, Car and Driver's recent head-to-head of top performers in the segment disparaged the Mercedes SUV's "baffling" touchscreen, distracting display, and small steering wheel buttons. The Cayenne's center console, on the other hand, was praised for a "clean, technical look." 

In terms of power, speed, and technology, the 2020 Porsche Cayenne beats the GLE at every turn. Test drive it today at Gossett Porsche.
