Suspension

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL fully active suspension.

With the new 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".

Engines

More efficient than ever. The new engine generation.

With new engines, the GLE's acceleration is more powerful and efficient than ever. The line-up ranges from the 4-cylinder diesel to silky smooth and intelligently electrified 6-cylinder in-line engines to the breathtaking flagship V8 engine.

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

The new, electrically assisted 6-cylinder in-line [*] and V8[**] petrol engines feature turbocharging as well as an integrated starter/alternator, an additional electric compressor and a 48 V on-board electrical system. As EQ Boost, 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 engine 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 noticeably enhanced driving dynamics, the system is able to distribute the drive force variably between front and rear axle on some models of the new GLE.

[*] GLE 450 4MATIC fuel consumption (l/100 km): urban 11,9-11,4 / extra-urban extra-urban 7,5-6,8 / combined 9,1-8,5; combined CO2 emissions (g/km): 208.0-195.0, emission class Euro 6d-TEMP, efficiency class: BThe stated figures were obtained in accordance with the prescribed measuring process.
