2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE vs 2018 BMW X3

Cargo and Interior of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE

While both of these compact crossovers can offer premium engine options, another good place to compare them is on the interior and in the cargo area. While we don't have solid numbers yet for the cargo space for the 2018 BMW X3, historically the Mercedes-Benz model has significantly more room. In 2016 the X3 had just 63.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space, compared with the 80.3 cubic feet available on the Mercedes-Benz GLE. The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE will once again offer 80.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, and we assume that it will still have more space than the BMW.

Other elite standard features on the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE include ATTENTION ASSIST®, Active Brake Assist, Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE®*, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and adaptive braking technology. Many of these may be available on the 2018 BMW X3, but likely not all of them will be standard.
