The Mercedes-Benz GLE Class has been refreshed for 2024, showcasing a striking redesign both inside and out, and integrating a suite of advanced technologies. This luxury SUV is redefined at its core, featuring electrified engines and opulent new appointments.
Stepping inside the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE Class reveals an enhanced cabin with features, materials, and finishes previously reserved for the ultra-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV. New color schemes, a redesigned steering wheel incorporating sensor surfaces, and the availability of MANUFAKTUR trim options elevate the standard of luxury expected in a spacious SUV.
Extending its luxurious nature to adventurous terrains, the available Off-Road Engineering Package significantly boosts the capabilities of the GLE 580 4MATIC. This package includes increased ground clearance, underbody protection, and an OFFROAD drive mode, inspiring confidence when venturing off the paved roads. A particularly innovative feature is the “transparent hood” function, which utilizes cameras to project a virtual view beneath the front of the vehicle. This technology assists drivers in visualizing the terrain and precisely positioning the vehicle’s tires when navigating challenging landscapes.
Powering the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE Class is a range of electrified powertrains, including the introduction of the new GLE 450e 4MATIC plug-in hybrid, alongside updated mild-hybrid options. The integration of a 48-volt architecture and an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) provides bursts of additional power, enhancing the already impressive performance while simultaneously improving fuel efficiency through hybrid technology.
The interior of the 2024 GLE Class is further enhanced by the second-generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system, making the cockpit even more digital and intelligent. Leveraging Artificial Intelligence, MBUX allows for more intuitive control of vehicle functions through touch or voice commands. The evolved “Hey, Mercedes” voice assistant now comprehends and learns a broader spectrum of natural language commands, making the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE Class more user-friendly and enjoyable than ever before.
