2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE

The Mercedes-Benz GLE model range is introducing a range of updates for 2024 with a refined exterior and interior, as well as expanded technology and equipment. The model range will include the new GLE 400 e 4MATIC plug-in hybrid, in addition to mild hybrids with a 48-volt system and Integrated Starter Generator (ISG). The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE model range will arrive at U.S. dealerships in 2023.

Off-Road and Towing Technology
The Off-Road Engineering Package, available for the GLE 580 4MATIC, includes an underride guard and provides 1.2 inches more ground clearance in combination with AIRMATIC air suspension. The Off-Road Mode in the MBUX display offers a visual experience with special content such as gradient, roll angle, compass, and steering angle. The "transparent hood" function is also available when the Off-Road Mode is active, which offers a virtual view of the front of the vehicle, including the front wheels and steering position, as seen through the 360° camera. The Trailer Route Planner for the navigation system allows drivers to plan routes suitable for driving with a pre-defined trailer, taking into account weight restrictions, heights and widths of the route. The Extended Trailer Maneuvering Assist is now camera-based and helps make maneuvering with a trailer easier and safer, regulating the steering angle of the towing vehicle up to 3 mph and a gradient of up to 15%.

Exterior Design
The exterior of the GLE has received a number of changes for a modern appearance. The front bumper is new and provides more visual presence, and the radiator grille features two horizontal louvres with chrome inserts. The "light flare" in the headlamps is characteristic of Mercedes-Benz and the interior of the taillights has been revised with a light signet formed by two horizontal blocks. The AMG Line exterior is standard on the GLE 580 4MATIC and optional on other models, with elements such as a diamond grille with chrome finish and a diffuser-look insert. The color palette includes new options such as Twilight Blue Metallic and MANUFAKTUR Alpine Grey, with new 19- and 20-inch alloy wheels available, and a 21-inch wheel design for vehicles with the AMG Line exterior.

Interior with Fine Details
The interior of the GLE features a new steering wheel with sensor surfaces on the horizontal spokes, allowing the driver to operate both the driver and central displays from the steering wheel. The chrome finish of the center and side air vents, previously exclusive to the Mercedes-Maybach GLS and Mercedes S-Class, elevates the interior. The GLE will be available at U.S. dealerships in 2023.
