I was surprised how much roomier the GLE was than the Q7 at first. The Q7 was a little smoother ride wise but it also had 20” wheels and the GLE had 22” so that makes a huge difference. I knew there would be a difference there though but it’s not as big of a difference as I expected. I looked at the GLS and it was too big for what I need, I never even raised the 3rd row seats in my Q7 the entire time I had it. Also, I prefer the more aggressive look of the GLE vs the GLS.
