Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has actually gave us a chance to preview the updated GLE last year. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, the launch was delayed all the way until now. So here it is, the latest Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 4MATIC, where it sets new benchmarks in the realm of luxury SUVs, promising an unparalleled experience for family adventures with its versatile design and enhanced features.
The new GLE debuts with a mild hybrid variant incorporating 48-volt technology and the 2nd generation Integrated Starter Generator. Its 6-cylinder engine delivers increased power (+10 kW / +14 hp) and 500 Nm of torque, coupled with the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, propelling the driving experience to unprecedented levels. Accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds (previously 5.7 seconds), it exemplifies the hallmark Mercedes-Benz performance.
Refinements to the exterior include a modernized front bumper, featuring the iconic diamond grille with a Mercedes-Benz pattern in chrome, AMG Line exterior enhancements, and 21-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels complemented by larger brake discs. The signature light flare in the headlamps, now with MULTIBEAM LED technology, adds a distinctive touch, while the redesigned interior taillights enhance visibility and aesthetics. 
The interior of the new GLE exudes sophistication, featuring a latest-generation nappa leather steering wheel with capacitive sensor surfaces, chrome-accented air vents, and Anthracite open-pore oak wood trim elements. The MBUX infotainment system offers a seamless digital experience, with a 12.3-inch driver display and central touchscreen supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. 
Safety and convenience are paramount, with features like MBUX NAVIGATION PREMIUM, MBUX augmented reality for navigation, Active Parking Assist, and a Parking Package with a 360° camera. The Driving Assistance Package Plus enhances road safety with cutting-edge technologies such as Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Evasive Steering Assist.
Entertainment reaches new heights with the premium Burmester® 3D surround sound system, now equipped with personal sound setup and Dolby Atmos immersive audio experience, ensuring an unparalleled auditory journey.
