Stress-free parking and manoeuvring: Thanks to optionally available rear-axle steering, you can manoeuvre the VLE as agilely as a limousine. It reduces the curb-to-curb turning circle to 10.9 meters. This gives the VLE a turning circle comparable with the new Mercedes-Benz CLA.

The new AIRMATIC with intelligent suspension control makes every journey a remarkably serene experience. This new optional air suspension is also more intelligent when it comes to ride-height control. For the first time, it uses Google Maps data to keep the vehicle as low as possible for as long as possible, reducing aerodynamic drag and thus energy consumption. With the AIRMATIC air suspension, the vehicle’s ride height can be raised and lowered by 40 millimeters for increased ground clearance or ease of entry.

When you have your hands full, you don’t want to operate door handles. Therefore, you can open and close the two sliding doors and the EASY-PACK tailgate of the VLE via optionally available HANDS-FREE ACCESS – just with a kick. Another highlight in the VLE are the fully retractable windows in the sliding doors. Just as practical as the doors is the optional separately opening rear window, which makes loading and unloading particularly convenient.

The VLE features the latest MBUX powered by MB.OS. It comes with artificial intelligence, combining multiple AI agents in one system. With this technology, the new MBUX Virtual Assistant revolutionizes the relationship between the vehicle and the passengers in every seat. Customers experience a more intuitive and personal digital companion with generative AI, multi-turn dialogues one might have with a friend and short-term memory. The MBUX Virtual Assistant appears as a living avatar on the MBUX Zero Layer, featuring dynamic colors and animations.

The high-performance Mercedes-Benz Operating System (MB.OS) is a holistic digital ecosystem that includes many functions in the vehicle beyond navigation and infotainment. It enables extensive digitalization, for example, regular Over-the-Air updates (OTA) that keep your VLE up to date, adding new features without visiting a dealer.
