Display styles

You can customise the design and the entire look and feel of the Widescreen Cockpit. There is a choice of four display styles: "Classic", "Sport", "Progressive" and "Subtle". The chosen style influences the interior atmosphere perceptibly, especially in conjunction with the optionally available ambient lighting.

MBUX Augmented Reality Navigation

To enable you to find your way in complex traffic situations, MBUX Augmented Reality Navigation (optional) connects the virtual world with the real world. The technology incorporates graphical navigation instructions and traffic information into live images. So you reach your destination quickly, safely and stress-free.

Natural voice control

"Hey Mercedes." These two initial words start the natural, intuitive LINGUATRONIC voice control system which comes as standard. It reacts to almost every word. The system can even process indirect speech – the air conditioning will respond, for example, to "I feel cold" and increase the temperature setting. At the same time the voice control also has learning capability. It attunes itself to your voice and thus understands you better.

Touch control concept

MBUX offers users maximum freedom for controlling all functions in the way most comfortable and convenient to them. whether using voice control or intuitive touch functions. The GLE comes with the option of a multimedia touch display. With this, there is also a touchpad integrated into the centre console that responds to single and multi-finger gestures as well as handwriting. Furthermore, the displays can be controlled using Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel.

Head-up display

The optionally available head-up display transforms your windscreen into an exciting digital cockpit. This means you always have a direct view of key information. Your full attention remains on the road and the traffic conditions in front of you. The virtual image generated by the head-up display is projected into the driver's natural field of vision and appears to hover above the bonnet. In the new design, information is displayed in high-resolution and in colour.

Dynamic handling

Quiet, please. For one of the world's most sophisticated suspension systems.

The GLE demonstrates effortless superiority on any terrain. But the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension takes the comfort to a whole new level.

Suspension

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL fully active suspension.

With the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL fully active air suspension we are pooling our most innovative and intelligent suspension technologies to create a mesmerising driving experience.

In "Curve" mode, the vehicle can actively lean into a bend. This minimises the transverse force and tangibly increases comfort and dynamism. In "Comfort" mode, the ROAD SURFACE SCAN with stereo camera scans the road ahead of the vehicle. The suspension struts are then activated so as to substantially reduce the body movements when driving over bumps in the road. There are two other modes to choose from: "Sport" and "Offroad".

Only available in conjunction with the Driving Assistance package.

Engines

More efficient than ever. The new engine generation.

The GLE accelerates more powerfully and efficiently than ever before. The range extends from a 4-cylinder diesel[*] to silky-smooth and intelligently electrified 6-cylinder in-line engines[**] and the breathtaking V8 flagship variant[***].

The 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder diesel engines offer a contemporary combination of efficiency and agility in every output rating. The 6-cylinder in-line engine goes one better to offer drivers and passengers a special upgrade in terms of refined, smooth running.

The systematically electrified 6-cylinder in-line and V8 petrol engines feature turbocharging as well as an integrated starter/alternator, an additional electrical compressor and a 48‑volt on-board electrical system. The integrated electric motor supports the combustion engine with up to XX kW (XX hp) of power and XXX Nm of torque during acceleration, for example, and supplies the 48 V on-board electrical system with energy by means of highly efficient recuperation.

In addition to this, all engines are paired with the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive.

4MATIC

All-wheel drive with variable longitudinal distribution.

To ensure reliable start-off, even on slippery surfaces, the system permanently distributes the drive torque between the front and rear axle. Even oversteer and understeer when cornering at speed are reduced.

The 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive with the 4ETS Electronic Traction System ensures outstanding off-road capability and optimum traction on loose surfaces, snow or slush. For a noticeable increase in driving dynamics, the system can distribute the drive power variably between the front and rear axles in conjunction with 6- and 8-cylinder engines.
