The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE impresses from the first with its crisp styling, well-equipped and spacious interior, high-end technology, and top-of-the-line safety. What often catches prospective drivers off-guard is just how engaging 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE’s performance can be. It’s an authoritative SUV with room to spare and a taste for adventure, but it still performs with sedan-like precision and exceptional acceleration.

Powertrains

With up to 302 hp flowing as standard from a 3.5L V6 engine, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE moves with verve and vitality uncommon in such a commanding vehicle. Rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times per millisecond, with Direct Injection fine-tuning its fuel spray in 0.1 milliseconds, so the vehicle can pride itself on a smooth and efficient ride. Power is refined via a seven-speed automatic transmission, with shift paddles included for manual-style control.

To upgrade from agile ride to track-like power, opt for one of the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE AMG® engines:

  • 385 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque from an AMG®-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo
  • 550 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque from an AMG® 5.5L V8 biturbo
  • 577 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque from an upgraded AMG® 5.5L V8 biturbo
