At Mercedes-Benz of Denver, the new 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE is making quite an impact. With a high-riding stance combined with classic Mercedes-Benz elegance, it radiates both tenacity and tact, but you'll just love the feeling of hitting the open road.
At first glance, the broad shoulders and elevated ride height of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE almost look brash, but when you see the gentle contours and lines that are found on the rest of this luxury SUV, you'll realize that subtlety is truly its strong suit. Still, bright LED headlights will allow you to see through the darkness with ease, and the lower grille openings look like they come from a much racier vehicle than a luxury SUV.
It's impossible to talk about the interior design of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE without noting the twin-panel display that makes up both the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. It dominates the dash with its upright orientation, and is highlighted by the ambient interior lighting that also surrounds the door trim, center console, and lower dash lines.
There are three options available to you when it comes to powering your new 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV. The standard 2.0-liter turbo gives you 255 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque and either rear- or all-wheel drive configurations. A 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo with EQ Boost delivers 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Finally, a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine with EQ Boost offers 483 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque for those who demand power above all else.
The tech of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLE gives you several new ways to interact with your luxury SUV. The central touchscreen allows you to pinch and swipe just like a smartphone, while the central console pad allows you to handwrite your commands as you drive. Finally, the new MBUX system offers advanced voice recognition that can pick up simple phrases like "find an Italian restaurant" or "It's getting cold in here" and make the appropriate changes to the navigation, climate control, and other interior features.
In addition to a high-strength steel frame, the new Mercedes-Benz GLE also offers a suite of advanced driver assists to help you avoid collisions and maintain a safe place on the road. The forward collision alert system picks up vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, and even some animals and can automatically brake if you fail to react. Meanwhile, the adaptive cruise control system gives you more ways than ever to take the stress out of highway driving including lane change assist, automatic slowing for exits, and lane centering.
