Mercedes-Benz GLE
Similar to the GLC, the mid-sized GLE is available in both SUV and Coupe variants. While the plug-in hybrid system no longer appears on the menu, four hearty gasoline engines remain, from the 329-horsepower V6 to the 577-horsepower AMG V8. All versions come standard with 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The interior offers comfortable seating for five or more than 2000 litres of cargo room behind the first row. A next-generation GLE is coming soon for 2020.
