THE 2018 GLE

It's been years since you’ve come up here,

but the last mile has a familiarity you find

comforting, even with the subtle changes

that time always brings. When your family

took its first vacation here, it was just you,

like pioneers in the wilderness — first with

tents and camp stoves, then in a tiny cabin,

and finally your parents built a proper get-

away. Now it’s yours, and it’s time to intro -

duce a new generation to a family tradition.

There’s nothing like a road trip for bonding

with your loved ones — or for falling in love

with a new vehicle, in this case your GLE.

The GLE is the direct

descendant of the

SUV that pioneered

its entire class. What

makes it a leader is

where it’s continued to

go ever since.

The daily drives have been delight ful so far,

but this is the “reason” you chose it — not

just for any trip, but for the ones where the

biggest things you bring back are stories

and mem orie s. Unlike your first times here,

you hav e far mo re sea sona l neighbo r s now,

but it’ll always feel like the place that your

family discovered. Seeing the nameplates

on their SUVs makes you smile quietly to

yo ur self. It ’s like they ’re all na m e d in honor

of your dad — the guy who blazed this trail,

and found the path to this great escape.

A spirit of idealism, for a better reality.

It’s then that you realize that it’s your GLE

that reminds you of your pioneering pop —

not in name but in its spirit, and the soul

that shines through the Star in its grille.

Adventurous in nature. Inventive by nature.

Protective of his family. Always eager to go

somewhere new, and to help you enjoy the

journey. And an inspiration to others, not

by what he had, but with what he shared

to make everyone’s life a little better. Can

one man do all that? You can think of three

who did. One named Daimler. One named

Benz. And one with the same name as you.

SURPASSING LANE

You weren’t thinking about a road trip to

the Serengeti or the Sahara the first time

you drove your GLE home. It was suburbia,

not Siberia, whose challenges swayed you.

But today, you gained a new appreciation

for the thousands of miles Mercedes-Benz

engineers spent in the harshest corners

of the globe. It wasn’t the first time you

felt it. And it won’t be the last. But as the

curving road turned wet, and every eye on

your kid’s soccer team watched you in the

mirror, you felt your GLE stay steady. And

saw trepidation in their eyes turn to trust.

The confidence of competence.

There are other SUVs out there — that’s no

secret. And they all seem to offer the same

list of features: all- wheel drive, beefy tires,

a co m ma n di n g vi e w of th e ro a d ah e ad . On l y

a GLE, however, can tr ace its per formance

roots to the first car, first truck, and first

all - wheel- drive vehicle. Not to mention the

first auto- race victory, first fuel injection,

first electronic traction system, along with

the first 4-wheel independent suspension

in an automobile, and in an SU V. And while

history is nice, continually advancing it is

what mat ters. It’s how a GLE can feel both

surefooted and fleet - footed. And be both

responsive yet responsibly efficient.

less fuel into more power. Its 4matic® per-

manent all - wheel drive* constantly looks

out for wheel slip, and instantly ensures

the engine’s torque is sent to the wheels

with the best grip.3 Its agile independent

suspension doesn’t just take on ruts and

rough roads. It also handles cargo like

an SUV should, and cur ves like you may

never have thought an SUV could. And a

tw i s t of its DYN A M I C SELECT kn o b lets you

configure its drivetrain, handling and sta-

bility systems to suit the situation, the sur-

face, or your state of mind — from Sport to

Slippery. There’s even an Individual mode

you can set up for the way you like to drive.

Or more importantly, because you love to.

A Mercedes-Benz SUV
has to do more than fit
people and cargo.
It has to be physically
fit, and a perfect fit for
the way you drive —
and the way you live.

Its Direct Injection and multispark ignition

can precisely tune themselves in the mere

milliseconds of a combustion cycle, to turn

Craftsmanship

UNCOMMON THREADS

“OK, but you’d better take care of it! ” your

dad said. It’s not like you were asking for

a puppy. But it was your first “high end”

possession, and it started something long-

Every so often, you consider treating your-

self to a new one, but the moment you go

to pay, what’s in your hand talks you out of

it — because it still feels special. Your dad

could have bought you a plain wallet back

th e n , but you wan t e d a de s i g n ic o n . Cl e a r l y

intuitive logic and crisp tactile feed back.

The details that invite your hands to roam,

and your gaze to linger: The glow of real

wood. The smooth grain of Nappa leather.*

And most of all, the sensation of solidity

but in the reputation of its maker. You

glance in the mirror at your passengers —

your treasured namesakes — and you know:

Like an unblinking eye

No matter how attentive you are, every driver is only human.

So the GLE supports your safety with a network of standard

and optional systems using radar, cameras and other sensors

to watch your back, and all around, with superhuman vision.

BETWEEN THE LINES

Multiple systems are available to ease your way along

multilane roads. Blind Spot Assist helps as you change

lanes.4 Lane Keeping Assist can alert you if you drift

across lane markings.5 Active versions of both can

help guide you back into your own lane. And Steering

Pilot adds convenience to adaptive cruise control.6

Safety

SLOW WITH THE FLOW

If radar‑based Active Brake Assist senses that you’re

approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly, it can alert

you to brake. It can even initiate braking if you don’t

heed the alert.7 Available Distance Pilot DISTRONIC®

uses multirange radar to adapt your cruise control

speed to the traffic flow — even when it’s stop‑ and‑go.6

13

THE FUTURE BEHIND YOU

If the rear ‑facing radar of available PRE‑SAFE® PLUS

senses an imminent rear impact approaching, it can

snug the front seat belts, and firmly apply and hold

the brakes to help reduce the effects and the risk of a

secondary collision.8 When backing up, the standard

rearview camera displays active steering guidelines.9

CROSSING GUARDIAN

Available radar plus a stereo camera scan the area

ahead during city driving. If they sense cross‑traffic in

your path or approaching it, the system can alert you

to brake, then precisely modulate the brake force to

help prevent or lessen a collision. If the driver doesn’t

respond to the alert by braking, or if a pedestrian is

detected, it can apply the brakes automatically.10

Engineering

BRUTE FINESSE

“Go anywhere,” SUV commercials always

seemed to say. As if every owner lived in

a canyon, worked at a ski lodge, and com-

muted through the storm of the century

while towing a boat on a daily basis. No one

took them seriously, of course. Except the

engineers at Mercedes -Benz. It’s not like

they think that’s how you live. They just

tend to design vehicles to handle greater

extremes than you’re likely to encounter:

deeper ruts, snowier curves, steeper hills,

an d tha t ’s ju s t th e st a r t of it . Th e y ha v e al s o

developed systems to help bring big issues

down to manageable size, like side gusts —

eve n fr om pa s s ing tr u cks. Or th e un s e t tl i n g

feeling when a trailer starts to sway.

Standards that set new standards.

While other SUVs were hitching their pro-

verbial wagons to outdoor clothing labels,

Mercedes-Benz was pioneering new levels

of SUV safety, from standard stability con-

trol (ESP®) and side curtain air bags, to a

suite of options11 combining radar-based

cruise control with steering assist, urban

cross-traffic and pedestrian detection, and

rear- collision preparation, to name a few.

nel not just to cut drag, but to enhance how

a GLE embraces the road while rejecting

handling — talents developed even further

Luxury

PRACTICAL INDULGENCE

In a class of vehicle whose middle name is

utility, being useful is not a recessive trait.

But how an SUV goes about it reveals a lot

about its family values — especially a luxury

SUV. Even features that seem frivolous at

first are often rooted in functional bene-

fits. Mercedes -Benz engineers pioneered

ambient lighting in cars because research

showed that riding in a totally dark cabin

was stressful. Letting you change its color

mad e it fun. They inve n t e d ve n t ilated seats

to keep you more comfortable, though it

sure is nice to arrive looking crisp and dry.

They even came up with keyless starting.

Thoroughly thoughtful.

There’s something to be enjoyed from any

seat, and by every sense, in a GLE. Before

you even enter, your step is illuminated by

a projection of the Star logo from beneath

each side mirror. The roomy rear seats are

split-folding, of course, but they can also

recline to any of 10 positions. The power

liftgate is easy to set for low ceilings, and

can be operated hands-free*— perfect if

your arms are already holding your cargo.

Beyond its generous standard amenities, a

The SUVs

Multiple-choice answer.

Whatever you’re asking for in an SUV, the

GLE is quick to respond — and with just the

answers you’re looking for. From industry-

advancing innovations to top -rated safety,

it ’s been a le ade r in it s segment eve r sin ce

it invented the class 20 years ago. In true

Mercedes-Benz fashion, you don’t have

to choose between its virtues — you get to

add them up. Ample space, agile cornering

and admirable efficiency? Enjoy them all.

Cutting- edge tech and timeless craftsman-

ship? They go together perfectly in a GLE,

with innovations engineered to mesh with

human nature, and the attention to quality

that comes from a human touch.

Six models include two smooth, strong V6

GLE SUVs

From its driving modes to your motoring moods, a GLE SUV is
designed to adapt to your desires, and stimulate your senses.

Protective in nature.

Wherever you drive your GLE, you travel

with an armada of safety advancements.

Radar-based Active Brake Assist scans the

road ahead to help detect if you’re closing in

on another vehicle too quickly. It can alert

you to brake, or even start braking if you

don’t, to help prevent or lessen a collision.7

ATTENTION ASSIST® helps sense if you’re

getti ng dr ows y on a longer tr ip.5 A rear v iew

camera is standard,9 and the rear-window

wiper sweeps automatically when you shift

to Reverse while the front wipers are on.

Optional systems can keep virtual eyes out

for vehicles in your blind spot,4 and pedes-

trians or traffic crossing in your path.10

Others can also help keep you from drift-

ing across lane markings,5 or prepare for

an imminent rear impact.8 And still others

can make any drive easier: Distance Pilot

Steering Pilot can ease your way along the

open highway and in stop-and-go traffic.6

And ha n d s - fr e e Par k i n g Pi lot and th e multi -

camera Surround View System can help

you negotiate into and out of tight spots.

Tailored by tradition.

The GLE cabin celebrates the Mercedes-

Benz tradition of rich luxury. The power

front seats are shaped for enduring sup-

port. They’re also hand-fitted with a range

of upholstery choices: supple, easy-care

MB-Tex on the GLE 350, or the option of

soft leather — standard on the GLE 550e —

or exquisite designo Nappa leather with

diamond-stitched inserts. The driver seat

memory includes the 4-way power steering

column and the side mirrors. The mirrors

are also heated, and can be set to power-

fold as you remote - lock the car. And the

wide 60/40-split rear seats recline for

comfort, or flip and fold to create up to

climate control system adds separate air

conditioning for the rear cabin, while an air

ionizer can help keep the air for everyone

onboard even fresher than the standard

dust, pollen and odor filtration. And while

a power tilt/sliding glass sunroof is stan-

GLE SUVs

A plug for the future.

The GLE 550e offers plug‑in hybrid perks like no other

SUV. Along with the advantages that make it a GLE.

Long-range benefits, instant rewards.

If all you care about is how much you can

get into it, just about any SUV will fit the

bill. When it matters what you get out of

your automobile, you’re probably already

a GLE kind of driver. The GLE 550e takes

all that to another dimension: It can put

out more horsepower and torque with far

fewer emissions — at times, zero from your

tailpipe. And it asks you to put in less gas.

An advanced plug - in hybrid version of one

of the most innovative SUVs on the road

can make an appealing argument using its

data alone: Efficiency of up to 50 MPGe

on the highway and 39 MPGe in town.16 A

3.0L biturbo V6 and 85-kW electric motor

that team up for a combined 436 hp and

479 lb-ft of torque — good for a 0–60 sprint

of just 5.2 se conds.15 And since it can travel

short distances on electricity alone,19 it

can handle errands and even some com-

mutes without using a drop of gasoline.

You can easily recharge its compact lithi-

um- ion battery in several ways: Less than

2.5 hour s at a pu b lic cha rging st atio n20 can

deliver a full charge. You can plug it into

a standard outlet at home. And the gas

V6 charges it as you drive. Radar- based

Regen erative Braking helps extend battery

ran g e by op t imizing how it recov e r s en e r g y

as you decelerate. It’s further enhanced

by the longer-range radar of optional Dis-

tance Pilot DISTRONIC® cruise control.6

Automatic gas - free coasting is just one

benefit of its four intelligent hybrid drive

modes. Route-Based Battery Optimization

taps into the map data of COMAND® navi-

“e” stands for more than efficiency.

With standard 19" wheels1 and surefooted

4matic® all-wheel drive, the GLE 550e can

handle changing seasons and challenging

roads with equal enthusiasm. Its standard

luxuries elevate it above its competition:

Hand- fitted leather, elegant topstitching

of the dash, voice - controlled navi gation,17

harman/kardon® surround sound, Apple

CarPlay™ and Android Auto,12 as well as

Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists.11

Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

gation to optimize how it utilizes gas and

electric power based on terrain, city and

highway portions, and other factors of your

guided route. Even when you’re not navi-

gating, it “looks ahead” up to four miles to

help add to battery range and raise MPGe.

The GLE 550e is not just a plug-in SUV. It’s

also a hybrid of efficiency and enjoyment.

26

More than the sum, and then some.

Sometimes when you combine things, the

result is neither additive nor the average.

In the case of the GLE Coupe, each of its

core elements is not just undiminished but

elevated, energized and enriched. At first,

you might not see it as a coupe, but rather

an SUV wit h a sleeker shape and a spor t ier

stance. And while it has those traits, con-

sider what defines a coupe — specifically a

Mercedes-Benz coupe: A fusion of racing-

bred performance and carefully tailored

luxury. A taut profile with an arching roof.

An d a feeling of dr iving enjoym ent th at can

be shared by everyone onboard. The four

wide doors and a power liftgate only make

it a coupe with something more : the versa-

tility, capability, innovation and luxury that

come from being part of the GLE family.

Its body isn’t the only beneficiary of a

dual heritage. So are its heart and soul,

since the GLE coupe is part of the Mer-

cedes-AMG bloodline — born from a stable

of thoroughbreds, and raised to carry on

a tradition of ever-advancing performance.

Its racing roots are evident throughout its

running gear. AMG-patented NANO SLIDE®

cylinder walls slash friction and wear with

an ultra-hard, mirror- smooth plasma coat-

ing. AMG Performance 4matic® all- wheel

drive matches tenacious grip with nimble

handling, thanks to a rear-axle torque bias

and light system weight. And the 21" or 22"

How do you

introduce the

character of an AMG

sports car to the

capability of a

Mercedes-Benz sport

utility vehicle? Start

with seduction.

AMG® wheels1 don’t just fill out the flared

wheel arches. They complete the circle of

GLE Coupe performance — teaming up with

the adaptive, multimode, height-adjusting

AMG AIRMATIC® Sport Suspension. The

result pairs SUV capability with coupelike

agility, and the polished ride of a Merc edes -

Benz with AMG handling precision.

More than one, one with even more.

While a GLE coupe is singularly enthralling,

it com es in two di stinct varieties, and then

a broad range of ways to make each one

a perfect fit for your own style. The AMG

GLE 43 packs a 3.0L biturbo V6 under the

twin power domes of its hood. A thorough

infusion of AMG enhancements — starting

with higher turbo boost and exiting via a

free-flowing, growling AMG Sport Exhaust

System — raises its output to 385 hp, good

for a 0–60 time of just 5.6 seconds.15 With

all 384 lb-ft of torque at its peak between

2,500 and 5,000 rpm, you’re nearly always

in the “sweet spot” of its rev range. It’s

also an ideal match for its AMG-enhanced

9G-TRONIC transmission. It’s quick to make

the most of its nine closely spaced ratios —

whether shifting for itself or in response

to your fingertips on the shift paddles. And

you can vary its response with a twist of

the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT on the console.

A handcrafted 5.5L biturbo V8 generates

breathtaking output in the AMG GLE 63 S

Coupe: 577 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque, and

0 to 60 mph in a 4.1-second flash. The AMG

SPEEDSHIFT® PLUS 7G-TRONIC lets you

paddle - shif t th r ou g h it s seve n speeds , an d

can deliver rev - mat ched dow nshif t s with a

brief throttle blip —plus an accompanying

snarl of the AMG Spor t Exhaust or an even

more sonorous AMG Performance system.

Massive high-performance brakes feature

15.4" front discs with red 6-piston calipers.

And its adaptive AMG air suspension pairs

up with the electrohydraulically variable

stabilizers of the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM

(available on the GLE 43, too) for flatter

cornering without sacrificing ride finesse.

GLE Coupes

If you think it’s half coupe/half SUV, wait until you open it up —
and not just its doors. One drive will reveal: It’s 100% of both.

Flexible space, rigid standards.

The GLE Coupe reaches new dimensions

in its cabin as well, with the spaciousness

and re finement of the luxury sedan branch

of its family tree. Heated power front seats

are standard, while refreshing ventilation

and multicontour adjustment — which also

adds a rejuvenating massage feature — are

available. The rear seat is among the widest

in its class, with 60/40- split folding and

reclining seatbacks and available heating.

The sloping power liftgate opens to reveal

23 cubic feet of richly carpeted space — a

figure that’s virtually the same as the GLE

SUV, one of the roomiest in its class, and

far beyond mos t sedans. Folding down the

rear seats17 near l y tr ip les the ca r g o vo l um e

to 60.7 cubic feet — evidence that the sleek

ro of doe sn’t rende r the GL E impr a cti cal. In

fact, unless you’re in the habit of buying a

new refrigerator every week, you’ll enjoy

both true SUV versatility as well as what’s

likely the world’s most spacious coupe.

An AMG Night Package cloaks numerous

exterior trim elements for each model in

gloss black. And while the GLE 43 includes

black mirrors and side window surrounds

standard, a new AMG Performance Studio

Package takes it up another notch or two:

Bright metallic orange inlays highlight the

front apron and black 21" AMG wheels. The

sport seats are upholstered in black Nappa

leather with DINAMICA inserts and orange

piping. And it’s available with six exterior

paint colors and four cabin trim choices.

Adaptive lighting, artful ambience.

Standard active LED headlamps swivel as

you steer and can adapt their beams to

the traffic ahead. Wraparound “twin torch”

LED tail lamps accentuate the GLE’s st rong

the layout of the illustrated menus. The

system also lets you personalize vehicle

settings and features. Between the analog

gauges, a second color display offers vital

driving info and related menus, including

exclusive AMG performance readouts. Also

standard are SiriusXM Radio,13 830 watts

of harman/kardon® surround sound with

13 speakers plus a subwoofer, as well as

Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto.12 Even

higher-end entertainment options include

lets its body language

Abundant luxury, exquisite details.

From the tiniest detail to its most sizable

features, the GLE Coupe aims to satisfy in a

big way. There’s a household-style 115-volt

power outlet in the rear seating area, and

a 12-volt power port in every seating row

plus the cargo area. LED projectors in the

side mirrors greet you by illuminating Star

logos on the pavement. And everyone can

enjoy the standard power Panorama roof.

Interior finishes are crafted to reward your

eyes and hands. Satin aluminum accents

the steering wheel, pedals and numerous

touch points. Upholstery is hand -fitted and

finely tailored, from the supple standard

MB-Tex of the GLE 43 to a range of buttery

Nappa leathers available on both coupes.

For trim, choose from three hand -finished

woods, aluminum, black piano lacquer or

carbon fiber. Each model features its own

flat- bottom steering wheel, with DINAMICA

microsuede side grips a GLE 63 S option,

or a heated round wheel available for both.

shoulders. LED- illuminated running boards

and multicolor ambient cabin lighting are

also available to make entry more inviting

and your stay more welcoming.

Helpful technology, advanced assists.

The standard COMAND® sys tem un ite s the

audio and navigation18 systems with an 8"

color screen high in the dash and an intui-

GLE Coupes

Since 1967, when two engineers began turning Mercedes‑Benz sedans into championship
racecars, AMG has turned victory on the track into passion on the streets of the world.

Dominant traits, dominating power.

A half-century ago, AMG made history on the track by turning a

red Mercedes-Benz into a racing hero. Did they start with a sports

car? No, the legendar y “Red Sow” was a big, brash sedan. Three

decades later, AMG concocted their core ingredients into another

unlikely formulation: a high- performance SUV. With a line of three

SUVs and two SUV coupes for 2018, every AMG GLE mixes the

inherent agility of the GLE with the potency and reactivity of AMG.

Gripping in every way.

Proven in far corners of the world, the Mercedes-AMG GLE SUVs

and Coupes show confidence in places some SU Vs fear, like sharp

corn ers in the roa d. An AMG - enhanc ed 385 - hp biturbo V6 thr ust s

the GLE 43 SUV and Coupe. Handcrafted biturbo V8s output 550 hp

in the GLE 63 SUV, or 577 hp in the GLE 63 S Coupe and SUV. Rear-

biased AMG Performance 4mati c® expertly applies the torrential

torque of all three models for lightning - quick response and reflexes.

34

The magic of Mercedes ‑AMG turns power into prowess, grip into grit, and unmistakable
audacity into undeniable authority. All of which makes the GLE a natural starting point.

The five Mercedes - AMG GLE models are each engineered with the aptitude to bring their confident attitude to life.

From the beaten track to the racetrack, the AMG GLE SUVs and Coupes have been trained, tested and tuned to wield their massive torque

with delicate precision. Their AMG Sport Suspension enhances the capable, versatile AIRMATIC® suspension with exclusive calibration of

its geometr y and hardware, including its adaptive damping and air springs. The system can automatically lower the ride height for added

stab ility an d effic iency at higher speeds , or you can rais e it fo r dee p ruts and rugged terrain. AMG DYNA MIC SELECT lets you choose from

four preset modes from Slippery to Sport+, plus an Individual mode you can configure yourself. Each mode varies the throttle response,

shift points, adaptive suspension, 3-stage ESP® and more to suit the driving conditions or your performance preferences in the moment.

The GLE 43 models: An infusion of AMG soul.

The long list of AMG enhancements that go into creating the GLE 43

SUV and Coupe isn’t nearly as impressive as its depth. Numerous

internal upgrades, from increased boost to quicker shifts to a 60%

rear- axle torque bias, intensify their biturbo V6, 9-speed transmis-

sion and AMG Performance 4matic .® Gloss black trim accentuates

the aero-aggressive AMG body styling, while the sporty and high-

tech cockpit is outfitted to reward driver and passengers alike.

The GLE 63 and 63 S models: Driving performance higher.

With the DNA of racing champions and a chiseled, muscular body,

the GLE 63 SUV and GLE 63 S Coupe and SUV match handcrafted

biturbo V8 power with surefooted agilit y and finely tailored luxury.

The AMG SPEEDSHIFT® PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission, supersized

brakes and exclusive AMG lower bodywork assert their capability

from the outside. Lavishly appointed cabins, upholstered in Nappa

leather, let you exercise their authority from behind the wheel.

Please see endnotes at back of brochure.

FEROCIOUS

With increased boost and reduced friction,

the GLE 43 biturbo V6 is uprated to 385 hp

for 2018. Its 384 lb-ft of torque help rush

you to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds.15 Biturbo

V8s — each hand-built by its own master —

turn racing-bred technology into 550 hp,

516 lb-ft, and 0 -60 in 4.2 seconds for the

GLE 63. GLE 63 S figures top them all with

577 hp, 561 lb-ft, and 4.1 seconds to 60.

CURVACEOUS

In the winglike dash, analog gauges flank a

color multifunction display with exclusive

AMG screens for vital performance data.

The COMAND® system’s 8" central screen

and touchpad controller offer quick access

to abundant audio and navigation features,

plus settings that range from the color of

the ambient cabin lighting to setting up the

Indi v id u a l mo d e of AM G DY N A M I C SE L ECT.

TENACIOUS

Sizable AMG® wheels and sculpted AMG

body styling are tailored to suit — and set

apart — each model. The GLE 43 and GLE 63

SUVs are fitted with 20" wheels1 standard.

The GLE 43 Coupe and GLE 63 S SUV get

21" wheels. All of them also offer options

an inch larger than standard. The GLE 63 S

Coupe wears the biggest standard shoes in

the family: 22" wheels and ultrawide tires.
