Recently, a group of test spy photos of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE in China have been exposed online. As a mid-term model, the new car will mainly be adjusted for the front face and interior. From the spy photos, it can be seen that in addition to the front face and rear part of the new car, the body structure has been clearly visible. According to previous news, the new car was originally planned to be released this spring, but it was delayed due to the impact of the epidemic. This appearance in China also means that the release is approaching. Let’s take a look with the car players!
In the exterior part, the new car is a modified model, and the overall appearance is still the same as the current model. From the exposed spy photos, it can be seen that the new car still uses camouflage to cover up the front grille, light group and lower surround, and it is expected that major changes will be made in these positions. The front face will use a new air intake grille with a new design, and the interior of the headlight group will also be redesigned.
On the side of the body, the new car is still the same as the current model, and the waist line of the body is smooth. From the spy photos, there are obvious lengthening marks. Compared with the current model, the space between the B pillar and the C pillar of the new car has become larger. In terms of body size, taking the current GLE as a reference, the body size is 4930/1950/1795mm, and the wheelbase is 2995mm.
The rear part of the car is still camouflaged like the front, but it can still be seen that the rear shape is full, and the changes are mainly concentrated in the shape design of the taillight group, which will be more conspicuous after lighting. In addition, the lower surround still adopts the current design language.
In the interior part, from the spy photos previously exposed, the new Mercedes-Benz GLE does not use the latest family-style design language, and still retains the dual screen. The steering wheel of the new car will also be replaced with a three-frame multi-function steering wheel, similar to the current Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The overall visual effect is still the original "Mercedes-Benz interior".
In terms of power, the new Mercedes-Benz GLE will continue to be equipped with the current 2.0T four-cylinder engine, 2.5T inline six-cylinder engine and 2.0T four-cylinder plug-in hybrid options. In terms of drivetrain, these three engines are matched with a 9-speed manual transmission.
It is reported that the new car will be further upgraded in terms of driver assistance functions to facilitate daily driving.
Summary of playing with the car brother:
GLE’s main competitor is the BMW X5, which has always been better in the rear row space. But with the BMW X5 domestic wheelbase lengthening 110mm, this advantage has also been weakened. For reference, the official guide price of the current GLE is 69.98-88 300 yuan, while the current official guide price range of the new domestic BMW X5 long wheelbase model is 60.50-77 5,000 yuan.
The question is, what do you think of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE? If it’s you, do you choose to buy the new domestic BMW X5 or the new GLE? Let’s discuss it with the car player in the comment area!
