It’s not the first time we spot the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE, but the new spy shots reveal plenty of new details. The mid-size SUV is still hidden under the camo, yet it shows some completely unexpected styling cues. There is a quite rugged exterior look, which won’t resemble the G-Class as we expected earlier. The interesting vehicle will be more alike to the smaller GLC, so it might become pretty interesting option.
New Details
We already mention that the 2019 GLE crossover is getting more dynamic body and lowered roof, yet we can see now a widened wheel arches and a bit bigger dimensions. Moreover, in place of the old underpinnings, the vehicle is going to ride on Mercedes’ MHA platform. This won’t just reduce the weight of the car, but will also provide more space inside, so you will be satisfied with leg and head-room. From what we see here, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE won’t become too complex, but will much better from the current. Moreover, the producer plans to make it more off-road oriented, which is always a big plus.
2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE Engines
As for the performance, we don’t expect anything less from the E-Class lineup. The stylish SUV will likely use a turbocharged 4-cylinder mill with 241 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. The engine will be paired to a 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive. Of course, the interesting crossover will get its AMG version, which will have a 4.0 twin-turbocharged V-8 mill. There is nothing official yet, but the rumors suggest that the engine should deliver around 500 horsepower, which is really impressive. In contrast to the US options, the European model will also offer several diesels, as well as some kind of plug-in hybrid.
The 2019 GLE is still far away from its debut, so we will get more info about it in the coming months.
