Hybrid Performance and Efficiency
When drivers in the Fairfield County area choose the 2023 Lincoln Aviator, they get to pick which model and engine they prefer, from a lengthy menu of great options. Choices include five trim levels, a gas-powered, turbocharged V6 engine, and a cutting-edge plug-in hybrid powertrain that offers efficiency, power, and a nice 21-mile electric-only driving range.
Comparatively, the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV also has an assortment of trim and engine configurations to choose from. However, if you want the opportunity to get a plug-in hybrid engine on your luxury SUV, the Lincoln is the only way to go, as the GLE doesn't offer this level of groundbreaking engineering.
Design
The 2023 Lincoln Aviator is a midsized SUV. It comes standard with three spacious rows of seating that can accommodate up to eight people in comfort. The Mercedes-Benz GLE, on the other hand, is a two-row SUV that comes standard with seating for just five people standard. It does offer a third row as an option, but you'll have to request it special, and it can only hold a maximum of seven people, as opposed to eight.
While adding the third row to the Mercedes-Benz will gain drivers more seating, it does not gain them more interior space. Quite the opposite, in fact, as the interior becomes more cramped once you add the third row. This option cuts into the rear cargo area, resulting in less room for your gear than in the cargo area of the Lincoln Aviator, and the GLE SUV's add-on third row is tighter and more uncomfortable for all but small children, in contrast to the Lincoln Aviator.
Safety
As high-end SUVs from two the most renowned automotive brand names in the world, it comes as no surprise that both the Lincoln Aviator and the Mercedes-Benz GLE give drivers in Guilford and Madison equipment lists that include the latest developments in advanced driver's aids and safety features. However, where the Lincoln Aviator gives its drivers a full list of these advanced features as standard equipment on every model, the Mercedes-Benz GLE has a shorter list of standard features and makes drivers add them on separately, as part of a driver assistance package.
Features
Not only does the Lincoln Aviator have more standard safety features than the Mercedes-Benz GLE, it also has more tech and comfort amenities standard as well. For example, with any Lincoln Aviator trim, West Hartford area drivers can look forward to standard Wi-Fi capability, automatic windshield wipers, and more. Plus, additional features are available on the Lincoln Aviator by exploring upper trims or optional packages.
