5 Key Features of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE

Handsome, spacious, and tech-forward, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE is a mid-size SUV that’s perfect for everyday drives, long road trips, and even off-roading. With standard seating for five and an available third row that holds two extra people, this SUV has the capacity and stamina to handle anything you throw its way, and it’s available now at your local Mercedes-Benz dealer.

1. Powerful Performance

The traditional GLE has several different available powertrains. GLE350 models run on a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower, while the GLE450 offers a turbocharged inline-six with 362 horsepower. There’s also a plug-in hybrid powertrain on the GLE450e, which consists of a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor, which offer a combined 381 horsepower. Models in the Mercedes-AMG GLE Class have even more power.

2. Offroading Capability

The GLE is built for more than highways and byways. It also has features that support offroading, like a transparent hood that uses cameras to display a virtual view of the terrain underfoot. An optional air suspension system offers additional ground clearance and can even help the SUV rock back and forth to extract itself from sandy conditions.

This SUV also allows you to customize the way your vehicle handles by selecting various dynamic driving modes, one of which is an off-roading mode that improves handling on rocks and mud. Other driving modes include sport, comfort, and an eco mode that boosts efficiency in stop-and-go traffic.

3. Interior Luxury

The interior of this SUV offers the elegance you’ve come to expect from the Mercedes brand. Materials like genuine leather and wood are used throughout. Heated front seats are available, as are heated armrests and a heated lid on the center console. A 64-color ambient lighting system comes standard, and four-zone climate control is available. This vehicle relies entirely on LED lighting both inside and out.

4. Onboard Virtual Assistance

The onboard multimedia system can turn your words into action, allowing you to keep your hands on the wheel. Simply say “Hey, Mercedes” to control onboard features with your voice. Over time, this system will learn your voice and be able to distinguish it from passenger voices. The multimedia system’s displays appear on two 12.3-inch displays that stretch across the dashboard.  

This vehicle comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot.

5. Safety Features

The GLE has a full lineup of driver-assistance features, including standard automated emergency braking and standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

There’s a lot to like about the GLE, from its performance on the road to its luxurious amenities. When you’re ready to test drive this amazing SUV, come see us at Loeber Motors Mercedes-Benz in Lincolnwood, IL.
