Mirroring Tech Devices

Incomparable Safety

Few luxury cars can compare their safety and driver-assist systems to the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE. The standard features menu lists nearly 30 systems, some of which can be considered cutting-edge and not even available as an option in most cars.

Here are some unusual and rare systems you’ll find standard in the 2022 GLE:

  • Parking Damage Detector
  • PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist

And that’s only a taste of what’s offered on both the standard and available menus. You’ll also have the optional Trailer Stability Assist if you decide to hook up a trailer to your car.

The Porsche does have the ParkAssist, which competes on a basic level with the PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist system. They both guide you through challenging parallel parking situations, but let’s put it this way: With the 2022 GLE system, you’ll never have to exit your comfy, dry seat to direct your car into a tight parking space.
