The addition of a plug-in hybrid now means the entire GLE range is electrified.
bring the expected cosmetic changes, but under the skin there are larger changes. A new plug-in hybrid variant joins the lineup for this midsize luxury SUV, which makes the entire GLE range electrified in one way or another. Other substantive improvements make life a little easier for owners, including improved trailering convenience features and more torque courtesy of a revised turbo for the quickest AMG versions.
The AMG Line exterior, which makes the GLE look more AMG without being a true AMG model, is standard on the 580 4Matic and optional on the other GLE trims. It comes with a diamond grille, an AMG-designed front clip, AMG side sills, wheel arches in body color, and a rear AMG diffuser. The AMG Line also comes with a 21-inch wheel design.
The GLE also improves its trailering abilities, with a trailer route planner that helps you navigate a set course based on the type of trailer you are towing, as well as improved Trailer Maneuvering Assist, and Trailer Steering Assist.Along with the carry-over 48-volt mild hybrid GLE trims, the 2024 model year adds a new plug-in model dubbed the 400e 4Matic. This now means that the entire GLE range is electrified. The new 400e 4Matic is good for 381 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque.
The interior gets new upholstery, either Bahia Brown over black or Macchiato Beige over black, with high-gloss brown wood or piano black trim elements. Standard equipment has expanded this year to include a panoramic sliding sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, adaptive high beam lighting assist, a Burmester surround sound system, AMG Performance exhaust, augmented reality navigation, and the parking assist pack.
The GLE 63 S features a 4.0-liter V-8 twin-turbo engine with 603 hp and the electronic rear limited-slip differential and suspension control systems have been fine tuned. Mercedes says the new AMG models will go into production by the end of this year.
