Facelifted Mercedes GLE revealed

Mercedes Benz has unveiled the new GLE, which is basically a facelifted version of the car that used to be known as the ML.

Design updates have been kept to a minimum, with the most obvious changes being new headlamps and a new grille.

On the inside it’s more of the same, but there is an all-new multi-function steering wheel, as well as a new infotainment system.

The standard vehicle will be made available with two twin-turbo petrol engines and two turbocharged diesel powertrains.

The top-of-the-line 63 AMG model features a 5,5-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, which produces 410kW in standard specification and 430kW in S guise.

We’ll give you the full story once the GLE makes its official debut at the New York Motor Show.
