GLE

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.

HANDCRAFTED BY RACERS

MERCEDES-AMG IS A TEAM OF PEOPLE WHO DEVELOP, CRAFT AND DRIVE

RACECARS. ON THE TRACK, THEY WIN. TO GO OFF THE BEATEN TRACK, THEY

CREATE SUREFOOTED SUVS WITH HANDCRAFTED POWER. AND YOU WIN.

Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

“One man, one engine” is more than a motto for AMG. It’s

a guiding philosophy and a process rooted in racing, where
precision and endurance are proven in record time. The
heart of a Mercedes -AMG GLE 63 or GLE 63 S is its biturbo
V-8. Each one is crafted by the hands of its own master engine
builder, who visually inspects and records every component,
and computer- verifies each torque spec. Only after the engine
is individually bench-tested does it earn his signature — on
a metal plaque that he affixes atop its cover. This degree of
detail-obsession is evident throughout the vehicle — from its
mighty brake hardware to its range of driver -selected modes
to its finely stitched, hand- fitted Nappa leather upholstery.

The AMG GLE 63’s biturbo V-8 delivers 550 hp, 516 lb -ft of
torque, and 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds.3 AMG Performance
4matic® all-wheel drive splits the torque 40 :60 front/rear,
and joins forces with a 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT® PLUS
transmission, 20" AMG® wheels,4 and an AMG AIRMATIC®
suspension with adaptive damping and the ACTIVE CURVE
SYSTEM. The AMG GLE 63 S ups the ante with 577 hp and
561 lb- ft of torque — good for 0–60 in 4.2 seconds — as well
as red brake calipers and 21" AMG wheels. On either model,
their lavish cabins immerse you in Exclusive Nappa leather
and rich wood or carbon fiber/piano lacquer. A new Night
Package renders the exterior trim and 21" wheels in black.

SAFETY FIRST AND FOR ALL

WHEN SECONDS MATTER MOST, SO DO FIRSTS. IT’S WHY MERCEDES-BENZ

ENGINEERS KEEP THINKING UP WAYS TO MAKE EVERY CAR AND SUV SAFER.

Every effort of Mercedes-Benz safety engineers goes
toward a singular goal: accident-free driving. They’re
also keenly aware that achieving this goal only for the
vehicles they design would be pointless. The roads
can only be safe for someone when they’re safe for
everyone. The 1951 patent for the first crumple zone
is one of more than 88,000 that Mercedes-Benz has
earned in the past 130 years. Energy-absorbing front
and rear deformation zones flank a reinforced “safety
cell” for the passengers. But the idea did more than
better protect the occupants of a Mercedes-Benz. It
eventually became the way all automobiles are made,
thereby helping protect everyone on the road better.
Over the decades, countless breakthroughs that were

pioneered under the Three- Pointed Star have gone on
to become the safety standards for all automobiles —
like the Antilock Braking System (ABS), the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP®), emergency-sensing Brake
Assist (BAS®), seat-belt Emergency Tensioning Devices
(ETDs), and side curtain air bags. Mercedes- Benz also
introduced most of these to SUVs as well — with the
original M-Class, forefather of today’s GLE. Of course,
you can expect to see some of the groundbreaking
advancements of today’s Mercedes-Benz on other
cars and SUVs a few years down the road. That said,
sometimes the future is only a few milliseconds in
front of you. And nobody prepares you for it like the
engineers who’ve spent decades thinking about it.

AHEAD OF THE CURVE

SEEING THE FUTURE ISN’T NEARLY AS IMPORTANT AS PREDICTING

YOURS — ESPECIALLY THE PART THAT’S JUST SECONDS AHEAD. WITH

INTELLIGENT DRIVE, A 360° NETWORK OF CAMERAS, RADAR AND

OTHER SENSORS CAN SEE MORE THAN THE HUMAN EYE,

TO HELP YOU GET OUT OF DANGER BEFORE YOU’RE IN IT.

Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS

Radar- based technology alerts you if you’re following a vehicle too quickly or
too closely. As soon as you start to brake, Adaptive Brake Assist automatically
adjusts the braking to an ideal level, to help prevent a collision or reduce its
severity. The system can apply the brakes autonomously from speeds up to
65 mph. It can also activate PRE- SAFE,® the predictive system that can tighten
the front seat belts and close the windows in the moments before a collision.

ATTENTION ASSIST

By continuously monitoring as many as 70 parameters of driving behavior,
ATTENTION ASSIST
of driver- drowsiness on long trips. Its enhanced sensitivity helps the system
detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy. A display in the gauge cluster can
help you track your own attention level and driving time along your journey.

®

can alert you both visually and audibly if it detects signs

6

CROSSWIND ASSIS T

Interpreting information that is continually supplied by the vehicle’s steering,

®

and other sensors, Crosswind Assist helps detect the effects of strong

ESP
side winds on handling stability when driving at highway speeds. Whether it’s
caused by lateral gusts or even a passing truck, the system helps keep the GLE
on course via strategic braking of the wheels on one side of the vehicle, as well
as adjustments to the adaptive AIRMATIC

®

suspension, when so equipped.7

ACTIVE L ANE KEEPING ASSIST

By monitoring visible road markings at speeds above 37 mph, Active Lane
Keeping Assist helps detect unintended drifting off- course, and alerts you by
vibrating the steering wheel. If you continue to drift, it can selectively brake
individual wheels to help guide the vehicle back into its lane. It can also help
detect and alert you to overtaking vehicles, vehicles you’ll need to overtake
if you change lanes, and even oncoming traffic that’s in the adjacent lane.

6

5

ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIST

When driving above 20 mph, radar technology helps sense when a vehicle
enters the blind- spot area on either side of you, and alerts you by illuminating
an icon in the side mirror. A warning tone sounds if you activate a turn signal
while a vehicle is detected. And if you begin to change lanes, advanced active
technology can help guide the vehicle back by applying the brakes on one side.

DISTRONIC PLUS WITH STEERING ASSIST

Radar-based cruise control adapts your set speed to the flow of traffic ahead,
automatically slowing until your path is clear again. If the vehicle ahead slows
to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS

®

can brake to a full halt. When traffic moves, you
can resume with just a tap, or automatically if the stop is under a second. A new
Steering Assist feature helps the driver keep the vehicle centered in between
the lane markings while cruising on straight roads, or even in gentle curves.

9

PRE- SAFE BRAKE WITH PEDESTRIAN RECOGNITION

PRE-SAFE® Brake can help detect an impending collision and automatically

apply up to 100% braking force to help reduce the severity of impact. At

speeds up to approximately 35 mph, it can also help detect if pedestrians

have entered your path, and apply the brakes automatically.

10

The features are

active whether using the cruise control functions of DISTRONIC PLUS or not.

BRAKE ASSIST PLUS WITH CROSS -TRAFFIC ASSIST

BAS® PLUS uses radar sensors to scan the road ahead at driving speeds up to
approximately 45 mph. Cross-Traffic Assist uses radar plus advanced cameras
to help detect a potential collision with vehicles approaching from either side
of an intersection ahead, or with pedestrians in the vehicle’s path. When the
driver responds to the system’s alert by braking, Brake Assist PLUS precisely
applies the maximum braking force required to help prevent such an accident.

ON ANY SURFACE

WHEREVER YOU LOOK, WHEREVER YOU GO, ITS CHARACTER COMES THROUGH.

QUALITY IS JUST ONE OF ITS QUALITIES

Whether you’re venturing cross- country or dashing across town, one
trait matters most in your SUV: trust. The GLE is engineered to earn

it in numerous ways, for many years and miles. From its solid build
and precise handling, to the craftsmanship of its cabin, to the way its

onboard technologies keep you connected, the GLE aims to inspire
your confidence in any season, in any situation, on any road. That’s
more than mere luxury. It’s the kind of comfort you feel deep inside.

WELCOME CHANGES

Personalizing your GLE doesn’t stop when

it leaves the factory. You can fine -tune its

features to suit your mood — or create one —

every time you drive it. Its COMAND® system

unifies not only all of the available audio and

navigation features, but also a wide variety of

vehicle options. From its touchpad controller

you can vary the hue of the ambient lighting,

order up a massage from the front seats, or

set up either of two surround-sound systems

the GLE offers: one from harman/kardon®

and one from Bang & Olufsen.® A twist of its

DYNAMIC SELECT control lets you adapt its

driving demeanor as well — favoring relaxed

comfort, sporty reflexes, surefooted control,

or even available off-road and air-suspension

settings.2 And all of the above work in concert

with the 8" color screen. Animated menus and

vivid displays keep you in the know, as you go.

FROM DRIVING MODES TO DRIVING MOODS, THE
GLE IS DESIGNED TO ADAPT TO YOUR NEEDS, SUIT
YOUR DESIRES, AND STIMULATE YOUR SENSES.

IN TUNE WITH YOU

VERSATILITY IS ONE REASON YOU DRIVE AN SUV. WITH
ROOMY, RECLINING REAR SEATS THAT FOLD FLAT
TO CREATE CLASS - LEADING CARGO SPACE, THE GLE
OFFERS SOMETHING MORE: UNLIMITED SPONTANEITY.

OPEN FOR ANYTHING

When you’re on a mission to the warehouse

store, antiquing in the countryside, or out for an

evening in town, proper planning can make all
the difference. To be ready for most anything,

here’s a suggested checklist: Drive a GLE. The

end. Its power liftgate opens to reveal up to

80.3 cu ft of flat, richly carpeted cargo space
with the 60/40- split rear seats folded.11 You’ll

also find concealed underfloor storage, a side

net and a 12-volt power port. With the seats

up, passengers can enjoy one of the widest

rear cabins in its class, along with reclining

seatbacks and available heating. A dual-screen/

multiple-input Rear Seat Entertainment system,

a household-style 115- volt outlet, a giant glass

Panorama roof, and 3- zone climate control can

further assure that 2nd-row passengers feel like

they’re in first class. From expansive room to

extensive details, the GLE has a plan to please.

The personal rewards of striving to be the best are even more meaningful in the development of young people than they are for automobiles. Instilling the

values of leadership, goal- setting, discipline and teamwork in youth is an investment in everyone’s future. It’s why Mercedes-Benz USA is collaborating with

the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, with an ongoing commitment to train and place hundreds of coaches for after -school and in - school sports programs in

communities around the country. Sports offer kids more than the chance to be physically active and have fun. It’s also an opportunity to have a mentor who

can guide them, help them learn how to deal with major life issues, and help them grow stronger not just physically but in their character. As a Mercedes -Benz

driver, you become a part of this ef fort to give hundreds of thousands of kids a better life today, and all of us a brighter tomorrow.
