PERFORMANCE

Hybrid Integrated Starter-Generator

Electrifying the inline-6 gasoline engine is an innovative Integrated Starter-Generator. It teams with a 48-volt lithium-ion battery to supply power for formerly belt-driven components like the water pump and air-conditioning compressor. These advancements help reduce weight and enhance underhood packaging. Additionally, the electric assist can generate extra, gas-free power and torque for immediate response.

ECO Start/Stop system

An ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations, to save fuel and reduce emissions. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts for quick acceleration response. The ECO Start/Stop system can also be shut off by the driver at any time.
DESIGN

Aluminum Roof Rails

Sleek and purposeful, the roof rails accommodate a variety of available accessory attachments for carrying bikes, surfboards, skis, snowboards and cargo carriers. They're crafted from elegant aluminum that adds modern style even when you're not using them.

20-inch AMG Twin 5-Spoke Wheels

A fresh take on the iconic AMG® twin 5-spoke wheel design features an aerodynamically inspired perimeter with a thin machine-finished edge encircling the 20-inch wheel and outlining each spoke. They're all set off by grey-painted inlays. All-season 275/50R20 tires are fitted. A fully functional spare tire is standard as well
SAFETY

Car-to-X Communication

In the future, cars will be able to communicate with each other over the airwaves. In the GLE, the future starts today. With its industry-leading Car-to-X Communication, every new GLE can automatically alert a central notification system of certain dangers, from detected wheelspin to the use of hazard flashers or even windshield wipers. The system can then alert other drivers with Car-to-X via in-dash displays or announcements, allowing them to take precautions before reaching the hazard.

LED Daytime Running Lamps and Taillamps

Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help get the GLE noticed, for added safety and in modern style. Their distinctive design accentuates the bold grille and powerful hood. Taillamps feature bright LED brake lamps that illuminate more quickly than conventional lightbulbs.
LUXURY

Energizing Seat Kinetics

Selectable via MBUX is a program that can minutely adjust the seat cushion and backrest on an ongoing basis while you drive. The virtually imperceptible adjustments can help reduce driving fatigue based on a patented algorithm.

Heated Front Seats

Electrically heated front seats quickly take the chill out of even the coldest day. Three levels of warming automatically step down after several minutes to the lowest setting.
