Exterior.

The new GLE Coupé is a stately 4,939 millimetres long and 2,010 millimetres wide (39 millimetres longer and 7 millimetres wider than its predecessor). The wheelbase has grown by 20 millimetres compared with the predecessor, but remains 60 millimetres shorter than that of the GLE, which benefits its sporty handling as well as its appearance. The proportions thus emphasise the dynamics of the GLE Coupé.

The front-end design.

The front of the new GLE Coupé is powerful and elegant. The prominent radiator grille – hallmark coupé with single louvre – forms the unmistakable centrepiece. Various elements finished in chrome underscore the appeal of the front-end design. 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 exterior is specifically highlighted. With the Night package it additionally receives an expressive touch.

The side design.

The GLE Coupé is appealing from every angle – yet it is in its profile that the sporty, elegant character of the vehicle is most apparent. The exciting flowing lines extend along the entire length of the vehicle. The typical coupé design results in particular from a flat windscreen and sloping roof line. Additional characteristic features include the striking side sill panels, hallmark SUV flared wheel arches and large-sized wheels.

The rear-end design.

The sporty, athletic rear end of the new GLE Coupé also embodies the skilful combination of SUV and coupé design. This is seen in elements such as the narrow coupé tail lights, the positioning of the number plate in the bumper plus hallmark SUV tailpipe trim elements. In addition, the width-emphasising design idiom also makes a significant contribution to the unmistakable appearance of the rear. The interplay of form and fine details results in a vehicle that already exudes self-confidence and dominance when at a standstill.

Cockpit and steering wheel.

Already the 4th generation of the multifunction steering wheel: sporty appearance and technically impressive. The round steering wheel centre is supplemented by a steering wheel rim profile with an emotively appealing, ergonomic design. Control elements geared to the driver’s requirements ensure comfortable operation of the vehicle functions.

Doors.

The modern design of the door trim underscores the sporty, elegant character of the vehicle. Trim in the doors continues the sweeping effect of the dashboard and highlights the elegance of the interior. Depending on the equipment, the door trim differs in terms of materials.

Centre console.

The redesigned centre console gives the driver easy access to all the main functions. The new hallmark SUV grab handles lend the cockpit a striking off-road character and facilitate a better driving feel in off-road terrain. Control elements and extras meet the occupants’ requirements and add to the fine ambience of the interior with some stylish touches.

Control and display concept.

The GLE Coupé’s control and display concept blends value appeal and intelligence. It systematically pursues the aim of interaction between humans and technology – through gestures, touches and voice control. Instrument display and media display feature a new design – they have been combined as two 12.3-inch high-resolution screens into the Widescreen Cockpit.

Interior lighting.

The state-of-the-art interior lighting, featuring LED technology, is both functional and emotionally appealing at the same time. The revised lighting concept distributes light points and light surfaces to optimum effect, thus ensuring improved orientation on the one hand and targeted showcasing of the high-quality interior on the other. As a result, the driver and passengers can easily find their bearings in the dark and enjoy a pleasantly illuminated atmosphere.

MBUX.

The name MBUX – Mercedes-Benz User Experience – for the new infotainment system signifies that the user experience (UX) has first priority. A unique feature of this system is its ability to learn thanks to artificial intelligence. MBUX is individualisable and adapts to suit the user. It thus creates an emotional connection between the vehicle and driver.

Body.

The basis for the high structural safety is formed by the bodyshell elements. As part of this, use is made of ultra-high-strength sheet steel and aluminium. The vehicle is based on an intelligently designed body with particularly rigid occupant cell and crash structures which deform in a targeted manner. For customers, the rigid body and low weight result in advantages in terms of safety, driving dynamics and noise comfort.

Suspension.

The chassis with the optional AIRMATIC air suspension and the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL active suspension running on 48 V meets the most discerning requirements regarding vehicle dynamics and comfort on and off the road. It is specially tuned for vehicle dynamics, through to a more direct steering ratio than on the other cars in this model series.

Environment.

Starting with the development and production through driving the vehicle to recycling after a long period of use, the new GLE Coupé, like all Mercedes-Benz vehicles, is designed for a very high level of environmental compatibility. This is documented in an Environmental Certificate pursuant to the international standards ISO 14001 and ISO/TR 14062 “Design for Environment”. The GLE Coupé impresses in its segment with low fuel consumption and low emissions.

Aerodynamics.

The aerodynamic driving resistance of the GLE Coupé has been extensively enhanced for optimum airflow. Revised spoiler, panelling and special Aero wheels contribute to improved wind resistance values and help to ensure a value of Cd = 0.32 in the GLE Coupé.

Active safety.

The new GLE is the debut of the latest generation of Mercedes-Benz driving assistance systems giving cooperative support to the driver. The level of active safety has not only been improved further compared to the preceding model – some Intelligent Drive functions are also without parallel beyond the SUV segment.

Active Brake Assist.

Active Brake Assist can help you to avoid rear-end collisions and accidents with crossing pedestrians and cyclists. Besides distance and collision warning, it also provides situation-dependent brake boosting in the event that you apply the brakes with insufficient force. If you do not react, it is able to initiate autonomous emergency braking.

Parking package with 360° camera.

If the Parking package with 360° camera is specified, an all-round view is provided by the 360° camera with four networked close-range cameras in the radiator grille, boot lid handle and exterior mirror housings. The information is clearly presented in selectable views in the media display.

Driving Assistance package.

Follow the road to autonomous driving: the latest systems support you based on the situation with speed adaptation, steering, lane changes and even when there is a risk of collision. The risk of an accident is reduced – passengers and road users are effectively protected. This way you are able to reach your destination relaxed and safe.
