A BIG LEAP FORWARD

When it comes to SUVs, there aren’t many carmakers who have embraced them quite as much as Mercedes-Benz. It all started 20 years ago when the German manufacturer introduced one of the first luxury SUVs, the M-Class back at a time where luxury was reserved only to sedans. Now known as the GLE-Class, the model has taken the automotive industry by storm with more than 2 million people referring to it as their preferred luxury SUV. Three generations in, what’s next for this best-selling Mercedes-Benz SUV? With a new decade comes new disruption, this year, the GLE is fully redesigned and refined with greater features and capabilities.

This fourth-generation has grown bigger in every dimension and looks sportier than ever before. Featuring a new design anchored by a rock-solid stance, the model stands out from the crowd from every angle without losing the Mercedes-Benz SUV DNA. Built upon the same visual presence from the AMG line, the car boasts a more dynamic appearance with pronounced shoulders, prominent twin-blade radiator grille and an A-wing that accentuate the model’s broad, muscular silhouette.
