Mercedes Benz has released details on the next model of its GLE
luxury SUV line that will showcase five new innovations centered
around ride comfort, driver assistance, brake controls, and seat
size.
“The GLE exhibits iconic Mercedes-Benz design while remaining
true to its character as an off-roader,” said Gorden Wagener,
Chief Design Officer at Daimler AG, in a public statement.
The new GLE is the fourth-generation in a line of luxury SUVs
that first debuted in 1997 under the M-Class model moniker.
The new GLE has five key innovations that stand out.
First, there is E-active body control, a hydraulic fully-active
suspension system that eliminates body-roll in driving situations
and increases ride comfort. There is active stop-and-go assist, a
driver’s assistance technology that enables traffic jams to be
recognized early and for the car to momentarily perform tasks
without the driver at speeds up to 37 mph. The car also has
active brake assistance, active blind spot assist, and a
fully-variable all-wheel drive controlling mechanism. Finally,
the new GLE’s seat comfort is amplified by increased interior
space stemming from a much longer wheelbase that is a full three
inches larger than its predecessor.
“The new GLE is not only more comfortable than ever
before on the road, but also shows its superior off-road
character off the beaten track. This alone shows our
determination to reinforce our claim to leadership in the SUV
segment,” said Ola Källenius, who is responsible for corporate
research at Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz Cars, in the same
public statement.
Additionally, the GLE includes an infotainment system
with larger screens than past Mercedes-Benz models, a new MBUX
Interior Assistant intuitive multimedia system, which can
recognize hand and arm movements programmed by the driver, and
a new 4MATIC four-wheel-drive system that allows for better
handling in slippery conditions.
The GLE is produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Tuscaloosa,
Alabama and is scheduled to arrive at U.S. dealers in the next
summer.
