Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Première for the Mercedes-Benz GLE and Mercedes-AMG GLE 63
Efficiency meets performance
Stuttgart. Mercedes-Benz has thoroughly revised its best-seller in the
SUV segment. The highlights of the new GLE include considerably more
appealing front and tail ends and extensive measures which make new
benchmarks with regard to emissions and drive system possible. Across
the available engine range, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are
reduced by 17 percent on average compared with the predecessor model
series. For the first time in its SUV history, Mercedes-Benz offers a plug-
in hybrid model, the GLE 500 e 4MATIC, which combines maximum
efficiency with outstanding performance. This multi-talent will even best

of active and passive safety. The high-performance SUV models, the
Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 4MATIC and the GLE 63 S 4MATIC, celebrate
their world premières at the same time.
"State-of-the-art and efficient drive technology, combined with superior
ride quality and the versatility and robustness typical for SUVs - the new
GLE has all the ingredients to continue the success story of our best-
seller", is how Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of

Page2The unmistakable design with the hallmark C-pillar and the variable
interior with the wellness factor of a luxurious saloon model enrich the
Mercedes-Benz GLE experience additionally. "Often copied, rarely
equalled - the M-Class established the segment of premium SUVs in
1997 and since then has been one of the most successful models in the
world. With the launch of the GLE, the edition will surpass the 1.6 million
mark", Källenius went on to say. And Tobias Moers, Chairman of the
Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, added: "With the new
GLE 63 and seven additional performance SUV models from the GLA 45
AMG to the G 65 AMG, Mercedes-AMG is in an extremely strong and
very confident position. All three generations of the predecessors were
highly popular. We offer the right performance automobile for every
individual taste in the further growing SUV segment".
Diesel and hybrid drive: efficiency meets the joy of driving
In addition to the appealing design, the variable driving experience thanks
to DYNAMIC SELECT and the assistance systems familiar from the E-
and S-Class, the GLE impresses with an extensive engine line-up. Five
equally efficient and powerful engines with four, six or eight cylinders are
available to choose from. The special focus:
the 150-kW (204-hp) four-cylinder diesel model GLE 250 d offers
superior performance with an all-time low fuel consumption for this
class of vehicles. It is the world's first production full-size SUV with
conventional drive that emits just 140 g of CO2/km (5.4 l/100 km).
No less impressive is the first Mercedes-Benz SUV with plug-in hybrid
technology. A system output of 325 kW (442 hp) in the GLE 500 e
4MATIC guarantees brilliant performance - with CO2 emissions of just
78 g/km (3.3 l/100 km). With a power consumption of 16.7 kWh/100
km, the GLE 500 e 4MATIC is the benchmark in this market segment.
In addition, the hybrid model is capable of up to 30 kilometres of all-
electric driving.

Page3components comprise a BlueDIRECT V6 direct-injection petrol engine
with 245 kW (333 hp) and a hybrid module with 85 kW (116 hp) of electric
power. The system peak torque is a massive 650 Newton metres. In
addition to impressive acceleration thanks to the boost function, the
innovative system drive also offers all-electric driving at speeds up to 130
km/h, optimised energy recovery thanks to the intelligent operating
strategy and comfort functions such as pre-entry climate control in
summer and winter.
A selector switch on the centre console and the instrument cluster offer
the driver a choice between four specific operating modes:
HYBRID: the system controls automatically select the most sensible
operating mode with combustion engine and/or electric motor for
optimising the overall energy balance
E-MODE: all-electric driving
E-SAVE: this mode preserves the current state of charge of the
battery to be able to drive on all-electric power at a later time, for
example in urban traffic
CHARGE: battery is charged while driving and when the vehicle is
stationary
The compact hybrid module is fully integrated into the seven-speed 7G-
TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission. The electrical energy is stored in
a lithium-ion battery with an energy content of 8.8 kWh, which can be
recharged using public charging stations, the wallbox charger at home or
on a conventional 220 volt power outlet. The charging time using the
wallbox charger or the charging station is around two hours.
Intelligent drive system management
The best strategy for efficient driving has always been anticipatory driving
without unnecessary braking and accelerating. This is even more
important in a hybrid model: because braking manoeuvres serve not only
to deliver deceleration, but are also used to recover kinetic energy. The
route or the traffic also has influence on the most efficient charging and
discharging of the high-voltage battery. For this reason the intelligent

Popular V6 diesel engine, new 9G-TRONIC
In addition to the equally efficient and powerful four-cylinder diesel engine
for the GLE 250 d and GLE 250 d 4MATIC models with an output of150
kW (204 hp), the proven V6 diesel engine producing 190 kW (258 hp) of
power and a hefty torque of 620 Newton metres is available in the
GLE 350 d 4MATIC. An extensive package of measures makes a cut in
fuel consumption from the previous model by around nine percent to 6.4
l/100 km (NEDC combined) possible. The updates involve above all a
modified engine control unit with combustion management, which in
particular during the warm-up phase regulates the injection of diesel fuel
for each cylinder in dependence of the combustion air. The emissions-
reducing and fuel-saving measures furthermore include an optimised
turbocharger, a revised EGR valve and a new demand-controlled rotary
vane oil pump.
With the start of the new GLE generation, all diesel models will be
equipped with the nine-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission as
standard, for the first time also with the optionally available off-road
reduction gear and inter-axle differential lock. The transmission is fitted
with a new type of torque converter with a high efficiency of 92 percent
and a wide spread of 9.15 across the nine speeds. Both contribute to the
high energy efficiency of the GLE models. A double turbine torsional
damper with centrifugal pendulum and the torque converter lock-up clutch
with return spring ensure the extremely refined operation typical of the
brand. Depending on the mode selected for the DYNAMIC SELECT
variable dynamic handling control system, the 9G-TRONIC impresses
with great agility and responsiveness or poised composure. In this
process the potential of the new transmission is exploited to the full. It
impresses with fast gear changes and perfect transitions for energetic
sprinting as well as with gentle, barely perceptible gear changes for
delightful cruising and with gear-change strategies designed to increase
traction in terrain.

DYNAMIC SELECT combined with off-road drive programmes
The DYNAMIC SELECT dynamic handling control system of the new
GLE offers up to six drive programmes. In addition to the established
settings INDIVIDUAL, COMFORT, SLIPPERY and SPORT, in the
4MATIC models the driver can choose the additional OFFROAD setting
for mild terrain with the DYNAMIC SELECT controller on the centre
console. If the GLE model is equipped with the optional Off-Road
Engineering package, the OFFROAD+ setting is available. In this setting,
the off-road reduction gear and a 100% inter-axle differential lock come
into play to generate high traction even in challenging terrain. This is
further boosted by the expanded functions of the AIRMATIC air
suspension with raised ride heights for a ground clearance of up to 285
millimetres and a fording depth of 600 millimetres. The reinforced
underfloor panelling of this equipment variant protects important
components against not so gentle contact with the ground.
The selection of the individual drive programmes effects the DYNAMIC
SELECT variable dynamic handling control system to activate entirely

display. Especially impressive are the off-road animations: various
parameters such as slope angle, tilt angle, steering angle or heading are
displayed dynamically in real time.
Superior high everyday practicality and perfect traction, sports-car agility
and spontaneous throttle response – the new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63
guarantees its driver an exclusive driving experience without parallel.
DYNAMIC SELECT is a major factor in this as well: the drive programmes
provide even more variety in the area of driving dynamics. The additional
SPORT+ setting offers the driver tailor-made characteristics for
particularly sporty driving dynamics. Throttle response, gear-change
strategy, ESP®
thresholds, steering power assist or the characteristic of
the continuous damper adjustment exclusive to AMG: the system
networks all the control systems, generating a wide variety of distinct
driving experiences.
The 4MATIC permanent all-wheel-drive system with a balanced 50:50
torque split between front and rear axle inherently boosts the safe,
harmonious and sporty handling. A new rear-axle differential with
aluminium case is considerably more efficient and furthermore weight-
optimised. Mercedes-AMG uses a special transfer case for the AMG
Performance 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive in the GLE 63 and GLE
63 S. This exclusive solution splits the torque at a ratio of 40:60 between
the front and rear axles, resulting in greater agility about the vertical axis
of the vehicle. The pay-off for the driver: even more dynamic cornering.
Stable combination: AIRMATIC ADS and ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM
In addition to the ground-breaking powertrain configuration, the retuned
AIRMATIC air suspension with ADS variable damping system guarantees
10. Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart, Germany
Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page10extremely stable driving. The damping system changes its priorities
depending on the preselected DYNAMIC SELECT mode. SPORT
focuses on the greatest possible lateral dynamics with the best possible
ride quality. Conversely, COMFORT mode enables maximum ride quality
with the best possible dynamics. The current handling conditions are
detected via a steering angle sensor, four rotation sensors, the driving
speed from the ESP®
signal and the brake pedal switch. The control unit
uses these signals for continuous adjustment of the current damping
force for each individual wheel.
In the GLE 350 d 4MATIC, GLE 400 4MATIC and GLE 500 4MATIC
models, the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM roll stabilisation system can be
combined with the AIRMATIC package with air suspension and ADS or
with the Off-Road Engineering package. The system uses active anti-roll
bars on the front and rear axle and compensates the roll angle of the
body during cornering. This enhances agility and driving fun. At the same
time, the system provides increased handling stability and therefore
safety, especially at higher speeds. Better driving comfort both when
cornering and on straights as well as expanded off-road capabilities are
also part of the advantages of the ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM.
All models with four- and six-cylinder engines are equipped with the
AGILITY CONTROL steel suspension as standard. The AIRMATIC
package with ADS is optionally available for these versions. An electro-
mechanical Direct-Steer system is standard on all models.
The AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with AIRMATIC package
comprises more than just the air suspension with automatic level control.
The new GLE 63 is also fitted with special struts, which were refined with
ADS Plus continuously variable dampers, a solution exclusive to AMG.
The ACTIVE CURVE SYSTEM roll stabilisation system is part of the
standard equipment in this model.
For the first time in this segment, Mercedes-Benz is offering a power
extendible and retractable trailer coupling, which also includes ESP®
trailer stabilisation. The towing capacity of the GLE is up to 3500 kg.
High protective potential through comprehensive safety
11. Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart, Germany

Page11As is already a tradition, the new GLE impresses with outstanding active
and passive safety. The models regularly score highest marks in the
international crash ratings. With its high protective potential, the GLE also
creates the best conditions for passing future tests with the highest rating.
The comprehensive safety concept follows the brand's hallmark strategy
and comprises four areas:
Safe driving: avoid dangers, provide timely warnings, and
aid the driver with extensive assistance
systems
In the event of danger: prevent and activate protective measures
preventively (PreSAFE®
)
In the event of an accident: provide tailor-made protection with a highly
stable passenger cell, defined deformation
zones and restraint systems such as
airbags or belt tensioners
After an accident: prevent the worst and make swift assistance
possible
Modern times: new design with classic style elements
Even at first glance, the new GLE blends tradition and modernity. Classic
SUV elements meet modern Mercedes-Benz design and form a
convincing whole. On one hand, the confident appearance of the GLE is
enhanced with the typical stylistic features of all generations: the
characteristic C-pillar and the harmoniously integrated rear side window
have been an integral part since this model series started in 1997. At the
same time, elements of the modern Mercedes-Benz design idiom catch
the eye. Radiator grille, bumpers, headlamps, wings and the bonnet with
its two power domes follow the current sensuous and clear design idiom
of Mercedes-Benz. Especially the harmonious, organic transition of the
two radiator louvres to the central Mercedes star is convincing. New
headlamps with the daytime driving lights forming the brand's hallmark
eyebrows and the current lamp layout - optionally as LED Intelligent Light-
System - blend harmoniously with the front end. The new wings with their
arched wheel wells lend the entire front end more harmony and presence.
12. Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart, Germany
Mercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
Page12The tail end of the GLE was likewise matched to the current design idiom
and updated cautiously. New LED tail lamps now glow in the brand's
hallmark night design. Also striking are the redesigned tailpipe
embellishers firmly integrated in to the lower section of the bumper. Front
and rear bumper furthermore are fitted with the likewise characteristic
three-dimensional chrome-look underride guard. New light-alloy wheels
boost the superior appearance of the new GLE.
Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 and 63 S: powerful sportiness with "A-wing"
Performance and perfection revealed: the design of the new Mercedes-
AMG GLE 63 inspires with exclusivity, powerful sportiness and
dominance. It underscores the progressiveness of the AMG brand and
transports the impressive motor sport history. From now on, the new GLE
63 also sports the distinctive "A-wing" in the front bumper, which is
characteristic for the AMG design philosophy. The design of the radiator
grille with the silver chrome double louvre, the integrated AMG lettering
and the central Mercedes star are distinguishing features of current AMG
Performance automobiles.
The performance SUV also impresses with dominance when viewed from
the side. Wheel arch flares in vehicle colour provide space for the large
wheels. As standard, tyres of size 265/45 R 20 are mounted on 9J x 20
AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels painted titanium grey with high-sheen
finish. Optionally the GLE 63 can be upgraded in terms of looks and
driving dynamics with tyres of size 295/35 R 21.
The black diffuser insert in the rear bumper with black trim strip in the
shape of the front “A-wing” represents typical motor racing design. The
special exhaust system with two chrome-plated dual tailpipe embellishers
and "AMG" lettering underscores the sportiness and exclusivity.
Detail work for an even more harmonious interior*
In the interior the larger media display stands out, which is now partially
integrated into the instrument panel. The centre air vents next to the
display and the outer air vents are framed by classy silver shadow
surrounds. In combination with the black high-gloss surround this
emphasises the sophisticated design of the interior. The centre console

"G" to the fore: the new SUV nomenclature
Mercedes-Benz has rearranged its successful SUV model range. The
multifunctional all-rounders now always carry a G in their name as a
reminiscence to the legendary G-Class. The name in each case is an
acronym of three letters. The G is always followed by an L, the third letter
facilitates orientation in the SUV line-up based on the passenger car
model range of Mercedes-Benz. In detail, this new naming scheme
results in the following nomenclature for the SUV and off-

unchanged model designation signals its special position as the forefather
of all modern SUVs and off-roaders:
GLA SUV in the A-Class segment
GLC SUV in the C-Class segment; formerly GLK
GLE SUV in the E-Class segment; formerly M-Class
GLE Coupé SUV in the E-Class Coupé segment
GLS SUV in the S-Class segment; formerly GL
G unchanged
The names of the AMG model series are also adapted accordingly:
