2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs. 2018 BMW X6

Towing

In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz GLE model stands out as the victor:

• GLE: This impressive vehicle delivers a maximum towing capacity of 7,200 pounds
• X6: The BMW X6 only has a maximum towing capacity of 6,000 pounds. This means you’ll be able to tow more than 1,000 pounds more with the Mercedes-Benz model compared to the BMW.

Cargo Space

Sometimes your Rye adventure may not require towing a heavier load, but even if not, the Mercedes-Benz GLE model will still be the best choice. This vehicle includes a maximum cargo space of 80.3 cubic feet, so you can bring along all the equipment you need.

Should you still be looking at the BMW X6 model, you’ll only access up to 59.7 cubic feet of cargo space, which is significantly less than the GLE. So whether you’re bringing oversized gear along for an adventure or just doing some local errands around Stamford, the Mercedes-Benz GLE is the right choice.

• The standard 3.5L engine generates 302 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, so you can easily cruise through traffic and make heads turn in the process.
• For those looking at the BMW X6, you’ll get a standard 3.0L engine that offers 300 hp.
