Recently, we learned from overseas media that the spy photos of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE have been exposed again. Judging from the photos exposed this time, the front face of the new car is still heavily camouflaged, but the side and tail are already very clear. It is expected that the new car will have a larger, more rounded grille shape, and the headlight shape will be further adjusted.
In terms of details, the new Mercedes-Benz GLE may continue the waterfall grille on the AMG. The headlight shape may move closer to the S-class, and the headlight shape in the current spy photos may only be in response to regulations, and there may be adjustments in the future. The sides and rear are largely uncamouflaged, and generally look similar to the current model, although details may be adjusted in the future.
In terms of power, since the earlier facelifted model has fully introduced 48V mild hybrid to cope with emission regulations, it is very likely that the new car will continue this power structure, combined with the current model power, of which GLE 450 may be equipped with a 3.0T+48V motor combination, the maximum engine power of 381 ps, peak torque of 500N·m, 48V motor to provide an additional 20 ps of power, 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.6s, GLE 350 equipped with 2.0T+The combination of 48V motor has a maximum power of 258 PS and a peak torque of 400 N·m.
