Compare the2024 Ferrari PurosangueVS 2024 Mercedes AMG GLE

The Purosangue’s standard lane departure warning system alerts a temporarily inattentive driver when the vehicle begins to leave its lane. A lane departure warning system costs extra on the AMG GLE.

Both the Purosangue and the AMG GLE have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, all wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning and driver alert monitors.

The Purosangue comes with a full 3-year/unlimited-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The AMG GLE’s 50,000-mile basic warranty expires sooner.

Ferrari pays for scheduled maintenance on the Purosangue for 7 years and unlimited miles. Ferrari will pay for oil changes, air filter replacements, cabin filter replacement, brake fluid replacement, inspections, and any other required maintenance. Mercedes doesn’t pay scheduled maintenance for the AMG GLE.

The Purosangue’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 286 more horsepower (715 vs. 429) and 115 lbs.-ft. more torque (528 vs. 413) than the AMG GLE 53’s standard 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder hybrid. The Purosangue’s 6.5 DOHC V12 produces 112 more horsepower (715 vs. 603) than the AMG GLE 63 S’ standard 4.0 turbo V8 hybrid.

The Purosangue has 3.9 gallons more fuel capacity than the AMG GLE (26.4 vs. 22.5 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.

The Purosangue offers a standard sequential manual gearbox (SMG). With no clutch pedal to worry about and a fully automatic mode, an SMG is much more efficient than a conventional automatic but just as easy to drive. The AMG GLE doesn’t offer an SMG or a conventional manual transmission.

The Purosangue’s launch control uses engine electronics to hold engine RPM’s precisely in order to provide the most stable and rapid acceleration possible, using all of the available traction. The AMG GLE doesn’t offer launch control.

For better traction and acceleration, the Purosangue has larger rear tires than the AMG GLE (315/30R23 vs. 275/50R20).

The Purosangue’s 255/35R22 front and 315/30R23 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 35 series front and 30 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the AMG GLE’s standard 50 series tires. The Purosangue’s tires are lower profile than the AMG GLE’s optional 40 series front and 35 series rear tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Purosangue has standard 22-inch front and 23-inch rear wheels. Smaller 20-inch wheels are standard on the AMG GLE. The AMG GLE’s largest wheels are only 22-inches.

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires optional on the Purosangue can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The AMG GLE doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

For better handling and stability, the track (width between the wheels) on the Purosangue is 2 inches wider in the front than the average track on the AMG GLE.

The Ferrari Purosangue may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 800 to 1100 pounds less than the Mercedes AMG GLE.

The Purosangue is 7.6 inches shorter in height than the AMG GLE, making the Purosangue much easier to wash and garage and drive (lower center of gravity).

Both the Purosangue and the AMG GLE offer optional massaging front seats. The Purosangue also has standard massaging rear seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging second row seats aren’t available in the AMG GLE.
