Mercedes and its sports division will take advantage of the “facelift” to increase its commitment to electrification with this model. Times change and the GLE range must adapt to the new market trends that are already being experienced in Europe. Sustainable mobility gains prominence although there is still a market for high-performance vehicles. This is where hybrid technology comes in and, in this case, plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
Our spy photographers allow us to get closer, once again, to the development process of the new GLE. The brand has moved its “headquarters” to southern Europe to face the tough summer tests. The temperatures that are recorded at this time of year, added to the orography of the terrain, are the perfect test scenario. Thanks to this, a new sighting has taken place.

The test specimens pictured feature the characteristic Mercedes camouflage. A camouflage present on the front and rear. Something logical since it will be in these two exterior areas where the changes in the design will take place. Being a mid-cycle update we should expect revised headlamps and minor tweaks to the grille and front bumper.
In the GLE range, the previous access step to the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ is occupied by the GLE AMG 53 4MATIC+, a model powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder biturbo gasoline engine that develops a power of 435 hp and is electrified with 48-volt mild hybrid (MHEV) technology. Well, Mercedes has decided to go a step further in her commitment to electrification.
The new Mercedes-AMG GLE 55 4MATIC+ leaves aside light hybrid technology to opt for a plug-in hybrid engine. Mercedes-AMG continues to extend PHEV technology to its model lineup. Something key since it allows you to increase performance without fuel consumption and emissions skyrocketing.
