Explore its specs and features to find out more.
2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE Performance Highlights
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE equips a 3.5L V6 engine as standard – the AMG® line offers three available upgrades for pioneering performance.
Cycle between Comfort, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road and customizable Individual Modes to adjust throttle response, shift programming, and more around your changing desires.
You’ll command up to 320 hp @ 6,500 rpm as standard or up to 577 hp with a top of the line AMG® model.
Engineered for performance driving, AGILITY CONTROL® automatically adjusts individual shock absorbers for gentler motion, smooth performance, and enhanced feedback and stability.
The new Mercedes-Benz GLE doesn’t handle like a vehicle perfectly able to accommodate up to 80.3 cubic feet of cargo. The sense of authority is there, but you’ll accelerate with unexpected vibrancy and handle with striking precision. A 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shift paddles even allows up to 18 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. Available 4MATIC® all-wheel drive provides peace of mind through adverse weather or across low-traction terrain.
AMG® models start with an enhanced 3.5L V6 engine capable of up to 385 hp and 382 lb-ft of torque – upgrading further means harnessing up to 577 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque from an AMG®-enhanced 5.5L biturbo V8. That’s power enough to tow up to 7,200 lbs. and make zero to 60 mph in a sensational 4.1 seconds. AMG® performance features include AIRMATIC®-based AMG® Sport Suspension, Adaptive Damping System (ADS PLUS), AMG® High-performance Braking System, and AMG® Dynamic Performance Exhaust.
