Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its new sports utility vehicle, the GLE, the successor to the M-Class, which blends tradition and modernity with a luxurious interior ambience and a sportier exterior design.

With the start of the new GLE generation, all models are equipped with the seven-speed 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission as standard.

The Dynamic Select handling control system lets you personalize your drive settings to suit your driving style.

The Active Curve System provides better driving comfort both when cornering and on straights as well as expanded off-road capabilities.

“The M-Class established the segment of premium SUV’s in 1997 and since then has been one of the most successful models in the world. We expect the GLE to continue the success story of our best-seller and even surpass it. Capable on any terrain, the GLE is the car for customers who want to drive a versatile vehicle with great off-road capability, striking design and premium quality,” said Dirk Fetzer, director of Sales & Marketing at Daimler Middle East & Levant.

Thanks to the 4Matic permanent all-wheel drive system, the GLE delivers outstanding dynamics and precise handling, even in tough driving conditions.

The advantages of the new GLE include best on-road and off-road handling, outstanding spaciousness and high levels of active and passive safety. The new GLE is available in four models: The GLE 400 4Matic and the GLE 500 4Matic and the high-performance SUV models, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 4Matic and the GLE 63 S 4Matic.
