Verdict
Grand SUV de 630 litres de coffre, 5 places, classé 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP en 2019. Les retours publiés sur cette génération sont rares : CarVerif alerte sur la batterie haute tension du 350 de (facture de 10 000 à 11 500 €) et Caradisiac sur un rappel de climatisation touchant 2 057 GLE et GLS en France. Sans recul statistique, exigez l'historique d'entretien et, sur l'hybride rechargeable, un test de santé de la batterie.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

- 22 July 2025 — Un boulon sur la pompe à haute pression peut être défectueux, ce qui pourrait nuire à la fonction d’étanchéité entre la pompe à haute pression et la pompe à huile tandem. En conséquence, le pétrole et le carburant peuvent fuir sur la route, ce qui représente un risque pour le trafic suivant. De plus, le pétrole et le carburant pourraient entrer en contact avec des pièces de moteur chaudes, augmentant ainsi le risque d’incendie. Official notice

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
