Mercedes-Benz GLE — 二手车选购清单

Buying a used GLE? AIRMATIC condition and 9G-Tronic ATF history are the two items that can make or break a used GLE purchase. A GLE with healthy AIRMATIC and serviced transmission is an excellent car; one with failing AIRMATIC and overdue ATF will cost immediate repairs.

• Park on level ground for 30–60 min, return: all four corners must be at same height
• Cold start: listen for compressor — should stop within 60–90 seconds if system is healthy
• XENTRY AIRMATIC scan: check all four height sensor readings and compressor output pressure

• 9G-Tronic judder test: pullaway from standstill in D — any shudder = ATF service needed
• ATF history: any W166 without ATF record at 20,000+ km = immediate ATF flush
• Carbon cleaning history: any GLE over 60,000 km — budget depending on engine
• Transfer case fluid: check at 80,000+ km

A used GLE with unknown service history should be budgeted as follows before use: ATF flush inspection + XENTRY scan AIRMATIC components needed. Total immediate spend can be depending on condition. Price the car accordingly or walk away.
