GLE & GLS: Großes Update für die großen Mercedes-SUV
Fürs Hier und Heute statt für eine elektrische Zukunft: Mercedes legt noch einmal Hand an die großen Geländewagen. Zwar setzt man dabei weiter auf Verbrenner, wickelt aber trotzdem neue Kupferspulen.
Mercedes has announced significant updates for its large SUVs, the GLE and GLS, despite not receiving a major redesign from its Tuscaloosa US factory. Both models will debut at dealerships by the end of the year with an entirely new interior and a hybrid system enhancement. While Mercedes continues to rely on the internal combustion engine, the GLE and GLS will receive a slightly hybridized 17 kW/23 PS booster power unit.
The base engine is a three-liter six-cylinder, producing either 245 kW/333 PS or 270 kW/367 PS, depending on whether it's a diesel or gasoline variant. A new V8 is also on the horizon, generating 395 kW/537 PS. This hybridized approach is complemented by a digitalized "Superscreen" display that runs the majority of the infotainment system and extends to the passenger seat.
The vehicle's price range starts at €92,064 for the conventional GLE, €99,162 for the GLE Coupé, and at least €108,105 for the GLS. Despite these improvements, the plug-in hybrid variant remains limited to just 93 kilometers of electric range and 135 kW/184 PS of power.
