REBOR N
LEADER

ALONG WITH NEW INNOVATION AND STYLE, THE LUXURY SUV THAT INVENTED
THE CATEGORY HAS A NEW NAME. “GLE” STILL STANDS FOR MULTITALENTED.

A NEW GENERATION OF FAMILY VALUES

You might not know the badge on the back of its freshly sculpted
body. So please allow the shining Star in its grille to introduce

you to the new GLE. More than a symbol, it tells you that the

SUV that pioneered its category is even more advanced, with

industry -leading breakthroughs in safety and driving enjoyment.

It promises a cabin that’s thoughtfully innovative and thoroughly

luxurious. And it assures performance that’s both responsive and

responsible — whether from gasoline, diesel or a Plug- In HYBRID.1

What’s in a name? If it starts with Mercedes -Benz, everything.

Standard and available equipment varies by model. Please see back of brochure.

FROM IDEAS
AND IDEALS

IMAGINE AN SUV THAT’S SPACIOUS YET SLEEK. RUGGED YET ELEGANT.
THE GLE MIGHT JUST BE THE IDEAL MATCH OF SPORT AND UTILITY.

PERFECT FOR THE REAL WORLD

Athletic, adventurous and spontaneous, the GLE is also engineered

to be utterly sensible. Mercedes-Benz engineers and designers

might be unique in the motoring world for finding these goals not

merely compatible, but eagerly collaborative. The long wheelbase,

short overhangs, crisp lines and strong uni - body of the GLE help

make it spacious and smooth-riding, yet agile and maneuverable.

Advanced aerodynamics, substantial wheels and LED lighting

perform their functions with flair. In a perfect world, would every

SUV do this? Or is the GLE simply a perfect fit for your world?

WHERE
YOU
BELONG

HANDCRAFTED WOOD TRIM IS JUST ONE WAY THE GLE
CABIN EXTENDS A TIMELESS TRADITION OF LUXURY.
HANDWRITING RECOGNITION IS ONE OF THE WAYS IT
ADVANCES A LEGACY OF USER-FRIENDLY INNOVATION.

TECHNO-EMOTIONAL

Even on a purely logical level, the GLE’s cabin is
a place where you feel an immediate bond. Its
vivid displays and intuitive interfaces help make
even its most advanced innovations feel quickly
familiar. Its controls are not just close at hand,
they’re fingertip-friendly. Its new touchpad lets
you use tablet-style pinch and swipe gestures,
or even handwriting. Its available voice control
learns how you talk. The big 8" screen isn’t just
illustrated, it’s animated. And since many of its
features are easily adjustable from the steering
wheel, your hands can spend more time in the
caress of its hand-stitched Nappa leather trim.

AT ONE WITH YOUR NATURE

No matter where you look or touch in the GLE
cabin, you’ll discover rewards in how it all feels.
The heated front seats are finely tailored in an
appealing array of upholsteries, from the near­magical suppleness and easy care of MB-Tex to
the indulgence of handcrafted designo Nappa
leather. Any of five kinds of responsibly forested
and hand-finished wood can accent the dash,
doors, and even the steering wheel, if you wish.
Massaging and ventilated front seats, as well as
heated rear seats, can further enrich your GLE
experience. To heighten the driver’s enjoyment,
steering-wheel options include soothing heat or
sporty designs for the wheel’s rim and side grips.
And beneath the beauty of the GLE’s surfaces,
steam-expanded foams — a process pioneered
by Mercedes-Benz — eliminate harmful chemicals,
while products from flax, coconut and olives
sustainably support numerous cabin elements.

ALWAYS IN THE
SURPASSING LANE

IT’S GOT A LEGACY OF PERFORMANCE FIRSTS NO OTHER SUV
CAN MATCH. AND A PLAN TO ENSURE NO SUV CAN CATCH UP.

Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

THREE WAYS TO FUEL YOUR PASSION

The GLE is the only SUV in its class that can trace its performance
roots not just to the first car and truck, but to the first all- wheel­drive vehicle, diesel car, fuel -injected engine and lithium- ion hybrid

battery. Also the first SUV with 4-wheel independent suspension,

4-wheel electronic traction control and more. Today’s GLE is ready

to accelerate into tomorrow, with a choice of gasoline, clean diesel

or Plug-In HYBRID power.1 The new DYNAMIC SELECT system lets

you adapt multiple driving systems with the twist of a knob — for
greater confidence on slick roads, or added fun on back roads.
