Trunk dimensions Mercedes-Benz GLE

The trunk of the Mercedes Benz GLE 2020 offers a volume of about 21.9 cu ft with the rear seats upright and up to 63.2 cu ft with the seats folded down.

The rear bench is split in a 40:20:40 ratio, allowing flexibility when transporting passengers and cargo. The interior is designed with high quality, featuring a flat loading floor and a low loading lip that makes loading easier.

The trunk dimensions vary within the model range, with the SUV variants generally offering more space. Typical features include the practical shape of the trunk and the option to use additional compartments for smaller items. The equipment often includes an electric tailgate that facilitates access.

Model Information

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a luxury SUV characterized by its combination of comfort, performance, and state-of-the-art technology. The latest series of the GLE offers a variety of powertrain options, including gasoline, diesel, and hybrid variants.

With an elegant design and a spacious interior, the GLE targets buyers who value both style and functionality. The latest generation is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems and a cutting-edge infotainment system.

Variants of the Same Series

Within the GLE lineup, there are different variants that differ in body style and equipment. These include the GLE Coupé, the sportier counterpart with a coupe-like silhouette, and the GLE 63, which is focused on performance and sporty driving.

These models should not be confused with the classic GLE, as they have different design features and performance specifications.

Model Year Differences

The model changes affecting the body and trunk dimensions of the GLE mainly occurred in 2015 and 2020. The generation introduced in 2015 brought an increase in interior and trunk space.

The 2020 facelift further optimized aerodynamics and space, resulting in a slight increase in trunk volume. These changes are especially noticeable when using the trunk.

Direct Competitors

In the same price class and size as the Mercedes-Benz GLE are models like the BMW X5 and Audi Q7. The BMW X5 offers a trunk volume of about 23 cu ft, while the Audi Q7 provides slightly more space with about 27.2 cu ft.

These differences can be decisive for buyers who place special emphasis on storage space. The GLE thus positions itself in the mid-range regarding trunk volume.

More Affordable Alternatives

For buyers seeking similar trunk volume at a lower price, models like the Skoda Kodiaq or Hyundai Santa Fe are interesting alternatives.

The Skoda Kodiaq offers a trunk volume of up to 29.5 cu ft, while the Hyundai Santa Fe provides about 22.1 cu ft. Both models are generally more affordable than the GLE while still offering good equipment and functionality.

Trunk Volume

The Mercedes‑Benz GLE (2018) offers a trunk volume of approximately 22.2 cu ft (manufacturer specification). With the rear seats folded down, the roof-high loading volume increases to approximately 72.6 cu ft.

Compared to the average car, the trunk is about 50% larger. Relative to the total vehicle volume, the trunk accounts for about 7.4% (which is around 1 percentage point above average).

The roof-high loading volume with folded rear seats corresponds to 24.2% of the vehicle volume, about 2.4 percentage points more than usual.

Vehicle Size and Parking Friendliness

The exterior dimensions are 193.7 in length, 76.8 in width, and 69.7 in height. Compared to an average car, the GLE is thus 14.2 in longer (≈8%), 3.9 in wider (≈5.2%), and 8.3 in taller (≈13.3%).

According to the data, the GLE is 3.1 in shorter and 21.7 in narrower than a “standard parking space” — implying a typical parking space of about 500 × 98.4 in.

Calculated accordingly, when centered in the parking space, there is only about 1.6 in of length clearance front and rear and approximately 10.8 in total side clearance per side (theoretically).

This means: parking is possible, but seat and door maneuvers as well as tight entrances/exits are noticeably tighter than with more compact vehicles.

Trunk Usability and Flexibility

The combination of a large base volume (22.2 cu ft) and a very substantial loading volume with folded seats (72.6 cu ft) makes the GLE very flexible in everyday use:

Family daily use/large shopping: 22.2 cu ft comfortably accommodates shopping volume, strollers, and luggage for several people.
Occasional large loads: With 72.6 cu ft roof-high, bulky or longer items can also be transported, provided the rear seats are folded down.
Loading height and shape: Due to the comparatively high SUV format, loading tall items is easier than with low wagons; the shape specifications correspond to a practical, variable loading area.
Practical implications: Very good everyday usability combined with genuine transport capability for moving or craft work — however, depending on the handling of the rear seats and possibly existing loading lips/anchors (manufacturer-dependent).

General Model Information

Familiarity: The GLE is an established mid-size premium SUV from Mercedes-Benz and is considered one of the key models in the segment.

Special features: Emphasized space offering, high seating comfort, and SUV characteristics (elevated seating position, generous cargo volume).

Characteristics: Larger exterior dimensions provide more interior space but increase space requirements when parking and in narrow streets.

Price/performance ratio: As a premium SUV, the GLE is generally priced above compact SUVs; the loading and space advantages justify the premium for many buyers compared to smaller vehicles.

Competitor models: Direct competitors include BMW X5, Audi Q7, Volvo XC90, and Lexus RX — models with similar positioning in the premium SUV segment and comparable usability.
