Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 than in the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, due to its greater head- and legroom. The Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.
