GLE brake pads wear faster than smaller Mercedes models due to the SUV's weight (2,100+ kg). Front pads last 25,000–45,000 km in Malaysian traffic. OEM vs performance aftermarket options and costs.
GLE has large ventilated discs with EPB on the rear. The GLE weighs 2,200–2,500 kg depending on variant — brake pad wear is significantly higher than GLC. In Malaysian urban stop-go traffic, front pads on a GLE V8 may need replacement every 30,000–40,000 km.

- Rear pads (incl. EPB retraction service): RM 500–900
- Front discs (pair, ventilated): RM 1,000–1,800
