It features a spacious, upscale cabin and introduced the sophisticated MBUX infotainment system.
Interior and Technology: The cabin is noted for its exceptional quality and design, featuring a large, free-standing widescreen that integrates two 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and media. The MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) system offers intuitive control via a touchscreen, center console touchpad, or “Hey Mercedes” voice commands. Optional features like a larger panoramic sunroof, heated/cooled cup holders, and augmented reality navigation were available.
Seating and Space: The 2020 model has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor, significantly increasing second-row legroom. It comes standard with five seats, but an optional, power-adjustable third row can expand seating capacity to seven.
Performance: The GLE offers a strong range of engines, including a base 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo (GLE 350) and a 3.0-liter inline-six with EQ Boost mild-hybrid technology (GLE 450). All models use a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Suspension and Ride: The standard suspension is steel-sprung, with an optional AIRMATIC air suspension system. A revolutionary E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension was available on higher trims, allowing individual control of spring and damping forces at each wheel to virtually eliminate body roll and even “rock” the vehicle to free it from sand.
