Editor's Comment: After the BMW X5 was first made domestically in 2022, the news of the Mercedes-Benz GLE joining the domestic camp has been constantly circulating. Now we have finally ushered in the domestic Mercedes-Benz long wheelbase GLE, which retains the original taste of overseas models in terms of machinery and design, and is more optimized for the Chinese market in terms of intelligence and comfort configuration, so that it can still be competitive in the fuel vehicle market. However, nowadays, our Chinese brands have a lot of choices for medium and large SUVs in the new energy market. Even in the 500,000 stage, there are still many large SUVs to choose from. Will this make the domestic GLE give a more sincere price to enhance its competitiveness? Let's wait and see. (Written by Guo Chen, Automobile House).
