Design

The front of the new GLE Coupé is powerful and elegant. The prominent radiator grille - hallmark coupé with single louvre - forms the unmistakable centerpiece. The new headlamp design of the standard-fit MULTIBEAM LED lends the vehicle an impressive, contemporary appearance. With the AMG Line exterior, the sportiness of the body is specifically highlighted, and with the Night Package it receives a certain expressive touch. Deep character lines, as well as 19”, 20” or 21” alloy wheels (depending on specification) are accompanied by stylish dual exhausts integrated into the rear bumper. Adaptive dampers and excellent insulation also contribute to the car’s impressive ride quality. Enjoy a high-class atmosphere inside thanks to exquisite nappa leather featuring a new pleated design which is soft, smooth and premium. The interior blends sporty, elegant aesthetics with progressive character. The dynamic ambience, together with the freestanding elements and highest quality detail work, conveys a sense of exclusivity and well-being.

TECHNOLOGY

With a fuel-saving drivetrain, optimized aerodynamics and intelligent lightweight construction, it has been possible to optimise the efficiency even further compared with its previous iteration. Functions such as ECO start/stop and auxiliary climate control can be controlled independently of the engine on demand and help reduce the consumption. The MBUX Innovation package extends the scope of functions of the cockpit and MBUX multimedia system. The combination of innovative and proven equipment provides you with convenient operation and detailed navigation information. You can showcase the interior according to your personal preferences with 64 colour ambient lighting with almost unlimited scope for lighting schemes inside the cockpit. The THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control system with 4 climate zones provides an individual feel-good climate on board. The driver and front passenger can set the temperature and air distribution to suit their personal needs. Multicontour front seats are tailor-made and designed to indulge with strong lateral support and the perfect seating position.

Safety

Six airbags supplement the frame of the GLE Coupé in protecting occupants from harm in the event of an impact. A range of advanced active safety measures, meanwhile, are aimed at ensuring that an accident does not occur in the first place. As well as a sophisticated Electronic Stability Programme with Acceleration Skid Control, standard equipment includes Attention Assist, which sounds an audible alert when signs of fatigue are detected, and Collision Prevention Assist, which depresses the brake automatically if a collision is imminent.

Features

The engine line-up consists of two diesels, a plug-in hybrid and AMG petrol model. The two six-cylinder engines on offer are the GLE 350 d and GLE 400 d, which produce 272hp and 330hp respectively. The plug-in hybrid option uses a 191bhp 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine in combination with a 134bhp electric motor, meaning the GLE makes the 0-62mph sprint in 6.9 seconds. The Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupé 53 features a twin-turbo 3.0-litre engine which produces a whopping 429bhp. All powertrains come with all-wheel drive and 9G-tronic automatic transmission, while the optional air suspension ensures maximum comfort. With a fuel-saving drivetrain, optimized aerodynamics and intelligent lightweight construction, the GLE now has even better efficiency than the model’s previous generation.
