GLE SUV
Engineered to show you the future. And take you there.
DESIGN
The premium SUV that invented its class 20 years ago still leads the way in every arena of driving, and from every angle of its design. From its iconic Star to its sleek LED taillamps, the GLE keeps the future looking brighter.
A lasting impression from the very first glance.
Distinctive LED Daytime Running Lamps catch the eye as their glowing arc sweeps into the sculpted profile. Standard active LED headlamps shine far ahead, and adapt to curves and traffic ahead. LED taillamps show off a "twin torch" design.
If you have an eye for design, all eyes will be on you.
The athleticism of the GLE is evident in its solid stance. Wheels range from substantial 19-inch designs to supersized 21-inch AMG alloys. Standard AMG styling expresses its sporty spirit, while an AMG Night Package takes it to the dark side with black accents.
VERSATILITY
Advanced power options, agile handling, and easily adaptable cabin and cargo space make the GLE the right vehicle for whatever you're doing, right now and down the road.

Pump or plug: Gasoline or plug-in hybrid power.
Direct Injection biturbo V6 and V8 engines make more power from less fuel, from the smooth, strong GLE 400 to the advanced plug-in hybrid GLE 550e. Even with ultralow emissions, they'll also fire up your emotions.

Reassurance when the weather turns, rewarding when the road turns.
Standard on every GLE, 4MATIC sends torque to the wheels that can use it best. On slippery roads, it adds all-wheel driving confidence. In dry corners, it adds fun. Light, nimble and efficient, you'll enjoy its benefits year-round. [1]

Space to stretch out your imagination, or pack it all in.
The GLE invites five adults to enjoy generous room and gracious comfort. It'll welcome over 2,000 litres of cargo with 60/40 split-folding rear seats and an available power tailgate. No less rewarding is what it keeps out, from tiny dust and pollen, to the sun's hot rays through its available panoramic sunroof. [2]
INNOVATION
From industry-leading safety systems to its advanced yet user-friendly technologies, the GLE turns innovation you never imagined into benefits you won't want to go anywhere without.
Intuitive technology, in tune with your nature.
A vivid 8-inch screen and clever touchpad controller team with available COMAND navigation, Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto and more. Innovative MAGIC VISION CONTROL heated wipers and washers help keep your outlook clear in any season. [3]

Virtual eyes on the road, real action on your behalf.
A series of advancements boost safety, reduce stress, and help smooth every move. Active Brake Assist can help you avoid a collision. A GLE can fend off crosswinds and prepare for front, rear and rollover accidents. Optional Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC cruise control can even guide you with Active Steering Assist. [4]

Engineered for your ears, easy on the eyes.
Your options in listening bliss start with harman/kardon® surround sound. And for audiophile ears and artful eyes, the optional Bang & Olufsen® BeoSound™ system comes from hundreds of hours of in-studio and on-the-road development. [5]
A hybrid SUV with an edge. And a plug for your future.
The GLE 550e is the only plug-in hybrid SUV that's also a GLE. So it outperforms and out-innovates: Power and torque lead its class, with an 85kW electric motor, advanced lithium-ion battery and biturbo gas V6. Radar helps it recoup energy as you brake. And GPS map data can better its highway efficiency and in-town range, even when you're not navigating. [6]
