From its adventure-ready reputation, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been widely known for its high-performance configurations. However, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE comes in hot by providing a higher towing capacity. See for yourself below:

2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE |
2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee |
Towing range (when properly equipped) |
5,950 to 7,700 pounds* |
6,000 to 7,200 pounds |
Although the Grand Cherokee has been thought of as one of the most capable sport utility vehicles on the market, it’s the 2022 GLE that accommodates an additional 500 pounds of towing capacity. This extra poundage could be the difference between adding one or more of your personal watercrafts, campers, fishing boats, and so on.
Based on this, drivers may experience an easier time and less back-and-forth trips when driving the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE.
If you’re not concerned about towing, we do know one thing you’ll want to learn more about: your vehicle’s cabin. Since you’ll be spending the majority of your time sitting inside either model, it’s important that we give you a rundown of what to expect.
Both the 2022 GLE and Grand Cherokee offer an optional third row of seating. Therefore, both are able to seat up to seven passengers at a time. As a result, both are great SUVs for large or growing families.
However, we must note that when it comes to packing in your cargo, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE tends to be a lot more efficient with its cabin space. The 2022 GLE offers a maximum of nearly 75 cubic feet of cargo space, while the Grand Cherokee provides just 70.8 cubic feet. This means your 2022 GLE will be able to carry more of your essentials, like groceries, luggage, camping gear, and more, compared to the Jeep model.
To top it off, the 2022 GLE also offers more space for your passengers. The model offers more room in both front headroom and rear legroom. Plus, according to its overall width measurements, the 2022 GLE is 7.4 inches wider (84.9 inches) than the Grand Cherokee (77.5 inches). This means you’ll have no trouble loading in wider or horizontally challenging objects.
We’ve established that the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE has the capability and measurements for your ride, so let’s focus on some of its innovative luxury features.
For example, the standard Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) can allow the driver to speak directly to adjust settings or find destinations. This intelligent system learns as it listens, so every interaction is better than the last.
To really step into the future of automotive, ask more about the available MBUX Interior Assistant. This virtual assistant is designed to respond as you move your body. Simply reach for the central touchscreen, and the display can highlight the likely desired features.
The Grand Cherokee tries to keep up with its own available infotainment systems and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. In comparison, the Mercedes-Benz model decorates its cabin with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display.
If you’d like to brighten up your interior, check out the standard 64-color LED ambient lighting in the 2022 GLE. Switch to one of the 64 color options, so your cabin can match your current mood. The Grand Cherokee also offers a similar feature; however, it does not come standard.
It’s clear that the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE is an overall more capable SUV that is a perfect match for families who are looking for comfort and futuristic technologies. At Mercedes-Benz of Scarborough, we have plenty of 2022 GLE models on display that are ready for your test drive.
