Mercedes Gle 2017 2018: successful combination of design and equipment
Updated Mercedes Crossover Gla 2017 declassified before the official premiere. The official presentation of the car took place on October 10, 2016. I recently found out that sales of a new model in Europe have already started. Therefore, the network began to appear more and more information that I carefully collected. On the russian market The car will not reach the summer. In the meantime there is time to get acquainted with the novelty.
Mercedes Gla 2017 appeared on the network photo allow you to see a stylish, modern and trendy car. The size of the body of the new model was noticeably more. The overall dimensions were 4900 mm long, in a width of 2000 mm, in a height of 1731 mm. The car bribed me with neat headlights, the filling of which adaptive xenon, beautiful strokes of the LED daytime running lights, as well as a massive and elegant radiator grille on which a large chrome emblem is banging.
Solid and strictly looks new front bumperwho acquired new, huge sections of air intakes. The hood of the car is decorated with fashionable climbing ribs, which give Mercedes Gla 2017 rapidness and dynamism. A new profile will like many.
It demonstrates power, strength and reliability. Very harmonious looks a stupid nose of the hood, large opening of side doors with a high windows line, as well as compact glasses.
Impressive powerful wheel diskswhich now got a size of 22 inches. They perfectly fit into the blowing wheel arches. Behind the car also looks good. I liked the neat cover luggage compartment, Luxury lights with LED filling, as well as the original exhaust system.

Sergey Stallavin and Rustam Wahidov in confusion. Mercedes began to bring alphabets to the market.
Amenities inside the cabin
Mercedes Gle Salon 2017 is spacious and high. Such an effect was achieved thanks to the increased dimensions of the car. In the cabin can freely accommodate five people. An explicit plus, I consider high ceilings, comfortable landing of the chairs, almost flat floor surface, as well as enviable stock of free space over the heads of sitting.
Very impressed the trunk. Most of the reviews of Mercedes Gla 2017 2018 are united that for long journeys and traveling the car is just perfect. It is difficult to argue with this, because in your class the car received a record 1650 liters. The new instrument panel causes the complete delight. Highest german quality There is absolutely in every little things here. The central console is a huge, multifunctional, color on-board computer screen, on the sides of which are two deflectors.
Below you can observe a huge number of control buttons different modern systems. Steering wheel new Mercedes. Gle 2018 has become multifunctional. I really liked the high side support of the front armchairs. Yes, and their design itself causes one admiration. The driver's seat is equipped with a large number of adjustments. Of the modern options in the news of the novelties include:
- Decorative linings made of natural wood, carbon, aluminum.
- The adaptive cruise control system in which there is an automatic braking function.
- Three climate control.
- Front seats with electric drive, memory and heated.
- Function of massage and ventilation of the front seats.
- Rear View Camera.
- The newest navigation system.
- Security systems Pre-Safe (Bas Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist), Traffic Sign Assist with a trap recognition chief.
Mercedes GLK 2017 also enriched with these additions.
Technical characteristics pleased
For Russian buyers, the manufacturer prepared three versions of power equipment. The technical characteristics of Mercedes Gla 2017 became an order of magnitude higher than that of the previous version. The main indicators will give the table:
Mercedes-Benz Gle-Class 2018 continues a series of premium-class crossovers with a famous 3-end star on the nose. It is based on the E-class platform, but not the current E-class presented for 2017. The appearance of a completely new generation is expected over the next year or two. Meanwhile, the 5-seater GLE is still smooth and chic Mercedes-Benz SUV, which can be the perfect option for many drivers.
There is also a coupe version (four doors, a scope roof), which is considered separately. To distinguish them, Mercedes-Benz calls this version of GLE SUV.
What's new in 2018?
Power AMG GLE 43 rose from last year's 362 horse power up to 385 liters. from. And there are some additional finishing options for GLE 63/63 S.
What do you like
A wide selection of transmission, smooth, quiet driving, a pretty view.
What do not like
The interior shows its age, inferior to some competitors in the possibilities.
How much is?
53,195-110,695 $
Fuel consumption
GLE offers an impressive multiple transmission - from the main level of GLE 350 to a highly efficient AMG GLE 63 S.
GLE 350 has a 3.5-liter V6, which develops 302 liters. from. and 370 nm of torque. This is combined with automatic transmission with 7 speeds. After installation rear drive Default Protection Agency ambient (EPA) evaluates fuel consumption at 7.6 km / l in the city, 9.7 km / l on the highway and 8.5 km / l with combined driving. If you add an additional 4Matic all-wheel drive system, these numbers will be 7.6 / 9.3 / 8, respectively.
The GLE 43 AMG model has a 3.0-liter V6 with a paired turbine engine generating 385 liters. from. and 520 nm of torque. Four-wheel drive Standard and auto transmissions 9 speeds. EPA sets fuel consumption at 7.2 km / l in the city / 9.7 on the highway / 8 combined.
GLE 550E 4MATIC The hybrid is also equipped with a paired turbine 3.0-liter V6 to which joins electrical engineTo create a total of 436 liters. from. and 649 nm. Automatic transmission with 7 speeds sends this energy to all four wheels. Without the power of the lithium-ion battery, fuel consumption - 8.5 km / l in the city / 9.7 on the highway / 8.9 combined. Adding a 18-mile blessing range, equivalent calculations can be raised to 16.5 in the city / 21.2 Highway / 18.2 Combined MPGE.
GLE 63 AMG operates at 5.5-liter V8 with a paired turbine engine that gives 550 liters. from. and 699 nm of torque or 577 liters. from. and 760 nm in the version of GLE 63 S. Four-wheel drive is still standard in both models, and they use automatic transmission with 7 speeds. In any model fuel consumption 5.9 city / 7.6 highway / 6.3 combined.

Despite the fact that GLE has not yet passed the crash test in national traffic safety management (NHTSA), actually identical M-class earned a total ranking of five stars, and the GLE must achieve a similar level.
Behind the wheel
The positive side of the relaxed control of GLE 350 and less exciting performance is a smooth, quiet trip with a cozy suspension and a traditional sense of luxury. However, the Kruz Roll is more obvious than I would like even for a relaxed SUV.
Behind the wheel of Mercedes-AMG 63S 4Matic Coupe, I am very afraid of arrest and waiting for a police ambush. It seems to me that I am not only too fast, but too loud. Before entering the next German town, I turn from the extreme settings of Sport + to comfortable so that glass in houses do not flood the glass.
With exit GLE Coupe Mercedes-Benz was in the role of catching up: his main competitor BMW released his five-door coupe another 7 years ago. However, it is difficult to imagine that such a car can appear from Mercedes before. At the end of 2007, when BMW began the production of a premium off-road coupe, Stuttgart was still calculated on the success of an ambiguous R-class, produced hybrids and were very far from sports.
GLE Coupe with merchant silhouette is built on the M-Class platform, which also underwent audit and changed the name on the GLE. Designers managed to combine faceted M-Class feed and the soft lines of the new front, which is now almost the same in both machines. The "coupe" looks more compact and shorter than the usual GLE. According to the measurements of the automaker, new car Slightly inferior to the usual GLE wide and expected became lower. However, the wheelbase was unchanged - 2915 mm, and in the length of Coupe, it was even longer than the usual GLE (by 81 mm) - an increase in the overhang. Because of the spectacular roof line, the ceiling behind was below 3 cm, but the places for the legs as much as in the GLE, and the Coupe's rear seat cushion is longer and installed above. The trunk "coupe" lost both in the minimum volume (650 l against 690 l) and in the maximum (1720 l against 2010 liters).
Gle Coupe gives the impression of a well-known car. And not so much because of its similarity with the BMW X6 (it is not anywhere to go anywhere), how many things are familiar on other Mercedes. Feed with a characteristic "duck" tail, a chrome plane over oblong lamps, a narrow rear stand - everything is like a S-class coupe. The interior, the location of the buttons and samples are generally familiar with the M-Class, but the display of the multimedia system is no longer integrated into the front panel, and the panel itself received an bend in the center. The GLE Coupe multimedia system is able to use the new-fashioned Connect Me services and supports high-speed LTE (but only through a smartphone) and offers Wi-Fi access point. Otherwise, the car is defiantly conservative, as if the yard is not a digital era: appliances with real arrows, buttons and handles - real, and the only way to touch the virtual reality is a touchpad covering the COMAND puck. But the washer while driving is somehow more handy.
Its main competitor BMW X6, the GLE Coupe five-standard is slightly inferior in size. In space for the rear passengers - parity, which showed blitz comparison. In GLE Coupe, despite the curved roof, the ceiling height is about the same as in x6. That is, high passengers will sweep their heads into a soft upholstery. The Mr. Headrest in the center is able to fall below the head restraints at the edges and suggests that the place in the middle is designed rather for a child than for an adult. The central tunnel at Mercedes is higher and wider than the BMW X6, but the GLE Coupe triple is not as conditional, like the "Bavarsa": a Mercedes salon is a little wider plus a place in the center more convenient and more reminds the seat than a roller jumper.
The developers of GLE Coupe, in front of which there was a task to teach the car to ride as a sports car, sought to make the body "coupe" as hard as possible for twist, even to the detriment of the mass, and they used the light alloys very limited. And although GLE Coupe turned out to be easier than completely aluminum Range Rover. Sport, but it turned out to be heavier than X6 in equal modifications. To go faster, you need more power, more than the moment and more insuring electronics.
Mercedes Gle.
Mercedes-Benz Gle is not a new model, but a deep restyling M-Class. Compared to the "coupe", the suspension settings are more comfortable even with pneumatic resistants. So active stabilizers for GLE are an urgent need for a trip to the base GLE 250D with a four-cylinder diesel, for which Active Curve System is not available. At the same time, progress in comparison with the M-Class is obvious: the car, although it is not so willingly follows the longer steering wheel as GLE Coupe, but steals predictably and has become more collected.
Four-cylinder power unit under the hood 250d spending only 5.5 liters of diesel fuel in mixed cycleBut noisy and works less than exactly unlike Diesel V6 offered for versions of 350D. GLE in similar versions is slightly lighter than GLE Coupe and is inferior in acceleration due to the worst aerodynamics and longer main transmission. And the gasoline GLE 400 is inferior to the "coupe" in economy, because the 7-speed "automatic" is still installed on it.
The test organizers were accustomed to the AMG version of the usual GLE, which, by the way, the same dynamics as AMG Coupe, but the GLE 500 E hybrid was brought. This machine has an electric motor with a capacity of 85 kilowatt is located between the V6 gasoline engine and automatic box Transmissions. It helps when overclocking, providing a dynamics at the level of the usual GLE 500 with a turbo engine V8. At the same time, the SUV spends just over 3 l per 100 km in a mixed cycle - less than the most economical diesel version GLE.
The battery can be fully charged not only from the network, but also directly from the gasoline motor. You can also choose a different strength of the current, which will reflect on the "refueling" time of the battery. A special mode that allows you to protect the electricity in GLE mainly uses petrol motor. Batteries supplies Deutsche Accumotive, belonging to the Daimler concern. The German automaker is trying to develop and create hybrid components, without contacting Tesla, whose shares it has previously owned. According to the responsible for the creation of Mercedesian hybrid systems and the components of Elena Alexandrova, new battery Even with a strong discharge does not lose returns. And its service life is approximately 10 years.
It was not without an off-road test drive, because the GLE can still be equipped with an advanced transmission with lowered nearby and a special mode for heavy off-road. The inter-wheeled rear lock is more unavailable, but the electronics confidently slows down the axle wheels and with the obstacles of the GLE demo route, wagged into the toothy tires, copes easily. The route mostly abound cool descents With different types of coating to demonstrate the operation of the electronic assistant. Aligned the car with the help of a circular review system, set the speed of 2 km / h - and the cool slippery slope looking impressively, turns out to be a trifle.
Hoarse, without digital false engine sound engine itself powerful version AMG 63S as if from the era of piston aviation and racing Blitzen Benz. Lite s - plus 28 hp and 60 nm in comparison with just 63 AMG, whose motor develops 557 hp and 700 nm, and minus 0.1 seconds in overclocking up to 100 kilometers per hour. It turns out 4.2 s to "hundreds" - as much as BMW X6 M and only one tenth is less than Porsche Cayenne. Turbo S.
In Germany, on narrow tracks, the car is bored and closely. Keep the speed below the set limit of 50 km / h AMG 63 s is categorically not capable, and even accurately calculate the speed of the speedometer in the digitization step 30 km / h is not so simple. For Europe, "heated" GLE 450 AMG 4Matic Coupe with a less powerful turbo sounder (367 hp, 520 nm) is suitable (367 hp, 520 nm), but at the same time as in AMG version, tools and finalized suspension elements. This car, though more slowly, but at the same time enough gaze.
Happiness is when it is possible to pass the S-shaped bundle without additional speed limitations and oncoming trucks. Turns "coupe" prescribes diligently, especially in Sport + mode. In it, the clearance decreases by 25 mm, the shock absorbers are stone, active stabilizers are clamped, preventing the rolls, and the Torque vectoring system will slow down internal rear wheel, Printing the car. The newest 9-speed "automatic" with tangible points considers transmission. Drain tires (325 mm rear and 285 mm in front) cling to a dead grip for dry asphalt.
Electronics, however, is always on worse. In gentle rotations, she can grunt himself, guided by markup. In the shower, hitting deep puddle, rear axle The "coupe" begins to sail, but the stabilization system interferes gently and confidently. In the meantime, the wiper supplied to the "automatic" go crazy. With a truly German perfectionism, they are trying to cope with the pouring glass with water, working with wild speed, slow down in despair and make them again.
Shone - hardly the most extreme test of the car during the test. Find a bumpy carpentry or broken asphalt in Germany - the task is impossible. In Austria, the road is slightly worse, but they are far from Russian realities. Perhaps in Russia, sports regimes with 22-inch wheels will be not so comfortable. But this is not a misfortune: in the "individual" mode, the character of Coupe can be collected at its discretion: relax the steering wheel, translate the suspension to the "Comfort", leaving the motorcycle and transmission sports settings. Moreover, the AMG version allows you to press the stiffness of the shock absorbers by pressing a separate button.
The usual without the AMG GLE Coupe 350D console can also be the "Sport" mode of him only one, and it corresponds to the "comfortable" at AMG 63 S. Active Active Curve System stabilizers are installed on GLE Coupe only in AMG versions, but angular rigidity The suspension is quite high and rolls are small.
GLE Coupe any version is aggressive than GLE. This is a steel beast created for rivalry with the same BMW X6 beast. BMW Mercedesovskaya "coupe" with sharp lines and cold technicalism opposes smooth lines and a calm luxury. "X-sixth" dominates in a diesel segment - it is more diverse, faster and more economical. The creators of GLE Coupe focused, first of all, on gasoline versions for the most part with an AMG signboard. BMW X6 is offered only with the rear pneumatic suspension, and for GLE Coupe it is impossible to order a rear active differential.
On call BMW Concern Daimler answered straightforwardly, rough strength, blow to a blow, creating its own analogue x6. In Stuttgart, they decided not to use all their technical arsenal. For example, in the design of the junior crossover GLC, whose sales will begin immediately after GLE, applied much more light alloys, and also equipped with its newest multi-chamber pneumatic resistants, specially designed for Mercedesian SUVs and crossovers, and capable of ensuring comfort on different types Coatings. GLE Coupe is built on an upgraded platform debuting in 2011 M-Class (W166). Such a decision allowed the Daimler concern without serious costs to create absolutely new SUV. And go into a niche of the five-door coupe-crossovers, in which one single car has been dominated for seven years.

Opposites are attracted. There are plenty of examples in our world. But sometimes in this life, they begin to compete with each other, and not only alone opposites. The most important example, - which, with any scenario, can now take away and will select a certain market share from a BMW X6 car, where the Bavarian crossover successfully held the palm of the championship alone alone.
And it is not surprising. Mercedes has long been planning to take a profitable niche with his crossovers in the sports body. And first of all, this new model of the car is directed specifically towards its main competitor - BMW Company. Therefore, the fact that the company's new model is very similar to car BMW X6 did not cause anyone any strong surprise in the automotive market around the world.
The shape of this coupe hides the true dimensions of the car GLE coupe
Yes, the car also has four doors, as well as BMW x6, it is made in the same and will probably take the same niche at the car market as the Bavarian "X-six".
The first impression of the GLE Coupe series automotomume: - If you look at the car from afar, then the sizes of the SUV look normally. But as soon as you come closer, you will immediately understand that this new crossover Not so small, as it may be honored to appear from the side. Considering this GLE coupe from a close distance to the eyes, many elements of the body are thrown, which themselves directly and declare, that in spite of their four doors this car is still positioned as the most real full compartment.
But what else is amazing, so this is what sitting on this car you immediately begin to understand, you got into a full full-size car SUV. Spent specifically behind the wheel, you do not even understand what you are. You will not leave certain feelings that you got behind the wheel ordinary car SUV GLE class (former ML class).
Once upon a time after buying behind the wheel of a new Mercedes, any car owner will immediately celebrate the quality of the entire interior, the amazing functionality of the cabin and other elements of luxury, which give a sense of confidence that the money paid for the car was not in vain.
Maybe you are not familiar with another feeling, but nevertheless, who previously acquired himself to be in the property, we will certainly understand. Although it is worth noting that many elements of the interior of the car have not changed much, but still, in this new GLE class, the following is immediately visible that designers and engineers created this masterpiece specifically took care of the true sensations of the future owners of the car.
I would like to note another factor, everything, without exception, inside the car, the GLE series is very convenient and practical. Even the rear seats in the car do not give passengers of some unspecified feeling of tightness and inconvenience, which is directly related to the lowered roof of the body itself in his rear part.
But despite such a mowed roof, the car quietly accommodates four adults, including with luggage. It is noteworthy the following, the volume of the trunk at GLE Coupe is 650 liters, and with folded rear seats, the volume of this cargo increases to 1720 liters, which will agree with us not so little. By the way, with a folded rear seats, Mercedes car engineers have provided a structural possibility of smooth floor in the project.
BMV X6 looks comfortable and sports
Experts note that despite the external aggressiveness and massiveness of a new generation of machines X6, inside it is still simpler and more sporting, and thanks to such sports positioning it is already more manageable.
True, unlike the GLE series in the X6 car, the rear passengers are not so comfortable, and everything is due to the lack of place for the legs and its low roof. But this BMW all compensates for special feelings that the car gives you on the road. But, if you still gather on a trip by car BMW x6, then try to optimize your luggage in advance, since the volume of the trunk itself in auto x6 is significantly smaller and volume than in the car Mercedes Gle. Coupe.
We specify, so. With folded rear seats, the volume of this cargo will be 1525 liters. Although it is also not bad, but still significantly less than the Mercedes. It is due to the difference of cargo space and facilities for passengers on rear seat It is difficult to believe that both of these crossover have almost the same dimensions.
In Mercedes a powerful engine does not give the sensation of drive
For a test drive, the experts got a diesel GLE coupe. Taking into account the rise in the cost of fuel in our country, many of our readers are probably interesting, the diesel version of this Mercedes.
The car that passed the test drive is equipped with a 3-liter diesel engine with six cylinders and has a power of 258 hp. Despite the not very large amount of horsepower, everything is compensated by a crazy torque, which is 620 nm.
This is enough for the owner of 2.3 tonne felt behind the wheel of a powerful car. Diesel works smoothly and without any complaints. During his overclocking, the car completely slowly switches speeds and therefore the driver has to constantly monitor his speedometer so that it does not surprise the vehicle speed 220 km / h.
In the "Sport" mode, the car becomes more reliable. To great regret, even in this mode of the feelings of sportiness, you do not feel how many would like to feel such a car class. But nevertheless, it's not worth upset because of this, despite the lack of feeling a complete drive, driving the car is extremely pleasant and easy.
Why Mercedes engineers targeting explicit and direct competition with BMW, why not began to customize their new model So that its owners can feel all those feelings that are felt when driving a BMW X6 car?
We answer. The point is precisely the following, despite their similarity in appearance, cars and still quite different cars in the spirit. It can be said that these are two opposites. In general, the difference between them remained the same as when comparing all model Row These two German brands. For Mercedes in the first place was always standing and comfortable.
That is why Mercedes car engineers set up pneumatic suspension GLE at maximum comfort. All the movements of the car are smooth and smooth, even on decent irregularities of the road you will not feel inside the car any discomfort.
GLE suspension is comfortable in any mode and on any road
Too soft suspension Feels even in the "Sport" mode. Yes, it is natural if you turn on this mode, then the car will noticeably become tougher, but not so much so that you have a feeling of her amazing comfort, everything will remain at the same level. But on the other hand, at the same time, on its sports mode, the car begins to behave certainly differently and otherwise.
But ... Despite the presence of a special sporting mode, this GLE Coupe from this does not become real sports car. True, we immediately want to note that this car With such a heavy weight, it has an optimal center of gravity and this helps a little crossover to be like a sports car.
Although sitting in the BMW X6 immediately becomes clear the difference that in the car Mercedes GLE simply not. Seving behind the steering wheel of the Bavarian crossover you will immediately notice significant differences in two cars. For example, where the car GLE just sailed along the road during overclocking, then the car x6 tears and flew on all pairs cutting the oncoming air flow.
Even in the "Comfort" mode, the suspension at BMW is tougher and collected, and the engine with a gearbox does not even think to hold such power of the SUV. As we have said, there are two more crazy regimes in BMW, this is "Sport" and "Sport +", which change the vehicle behavior unrecognizable. Then in this case you begin to seem to seem that you got behind the wheel of another completely car.
In general, on any modes gives a more dynamic impression of his driving. Steering BMW X6 car informative and faster in comparison with Mercedes GLE car.
Pressing the gas pedal This X6 reacts more decisively and more agile than the Mercedes autocrossover. This is due to the unique optimization of the engine with an eight-step automatic transmission. Yes, and it is clear that for sports lovers passenger cars The sportiness BMW X6 may seem at first glance in fictional and superficial, but for this particular car class, the character of this car BMW on a lot of aggressive if it is compared with any other competitors.
Among everything, as it will seem not surprising, the BMW car, which as a comparison participated in the test drive with the same Mercedes GLE, was still more economical. So, on-board computer Machines after passing the tests showed fuel consumption of 9.0 liters per 100 kilometers of mileage (the producer of fuel consumption according to the specification is 6.0 liters per 100 km), when, as a Mercedes GLE coupe spent 100 km of 10.3 liters of this Fuel (according to the manufacturer's plant specification, consumption is 6.9 liters per 100 km), whether it is not true, a noticeable difference.
Among other things, the car. Here for example - cost BMW X6 in Russia begins from 3 million 703 thousand rubles. Prices for the Mercedes GLE car in the body-coupe start from 4 million 250 thousand rubles. Basic equipment Diesel BMW X6 30D stands in Russia 3 million 741 thousand rubles. Basic diesel Mercedes-Benz Gle Coupe 350 CDI AT costs from 4 million 250 thousand rubles and no lower.
So you see that the difference in the cost of two competitors is very significant. Remember and do not forget that in spite of the similar appearance, these two crossovers are not only completely different inside, but also different in their technical characteristics, so such machines can not cost such machines equally.

All photo session I drove a few tens of kilometers on the second row and felt great - no worse than in front. Moreover, from behind it was much more cozy than in the usual GLE. Apparently, due to the narrow glazing that creates a sense of security.
Provocateur
During the test, I had the opportunity to check in the "extreme" modifications of the novelties - a 258-strong turbodiesel and 585-strong AMG 63 S. I decided to start with "weak." Actually turbodiesel is great. On the idling There are no vibrations or characteristic of data power aggregates Tightening. The response to the press of the accelerator pedal smooth, but at the same time immediately, even with the "comfortable" settings of the Dynamic SELECT system. The newest 9-range automatic works almost perfect. Is that after smooth driving when trying to sharply accelerate, you need to wait a bit until it reduces the transfer. There are no delay in the "sports" mode, and the Gaza pedal becomes almost at the sports sharp. Avalanche-like thrust, and it is enough even on an unlimited German autobahn. Plus, the engine is very quiet and at maximum turnover, and its sound is noble.
At the same time with test Drive GLE Coupe I was able to ride on the usual GLE to find out than these cars are different. Differences, I must say, essential. First, the steering wheel of the coupe is more acute and heavy (2.75 turns from the stop up to the stop against exactly three Gle). And thanks to the dense suspension, the car responds to the rabbar turns much faster: even the light of it is silent to the left-right cause a practically an instant response. In the blisters, the steering wheel is poured with informative severity and allows you to very accurately track the trajectory - much more exactly than the GLE.
At high speed GLE Coupe feels even more confident than the usual GLE, although he keeps the course perfect. Rebuildings from a number in a row car performs flat, without rolls. However, on the windows of the Highway, the rolls are very small, despite the lack of active stabilizers in this model. It is superb in this coupe, and it is not even necessary to translate shock absorbers to "sports" mode. It is on the winding track that the dimensions of the GLE Coupe are most noticeable. This car makes the driver increasing the speed from the viragee to the brightener, hitting the unreal margin of the clutch with the road cannon. Standard Gle. So it does not know how. On the contrary, he makes the driver calm and leisurely.
These cars are generally perceived in different ways. GLE seems to go on a light car, and GLE Coupe, on the contrary, is felt like a cast iron iron, chopped into the road fabric. Interestingly, more tough than the "relative", the suspension provides a compartment better smoothness of the stroke. Thank you need a tire with more high profile and updated shock absorbers with stepless adjustment. Where a simple GLE is pulling up on cracks and asphalt filtles, Gle Coupe smoothes irregularities, as if not noticing them. Perhaps on large bodies, heavy wheels will be given themselves to know the vibrations of unsourished masses, but in Germany, where the test was passed, I could not find such.

And now let's see how the "Monster" is driven by "Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC". Read the full name? So, during this time he has time to exceed the speed of 100 km / h! And how he ruins! Moreover, the volume of sounds is calculated so that even when driving a "pedal to the floor", the engine does not strain the sound accompaniment. The main thing is to closely monitor the speedometer, as its motley markup is read worse than other models of Coupe, and exceed the speed limit simplest simple.
The car literally follows the accelerator pedal. Turboyama is not felt even in Comfort mode. If you choose Sport +, the coupe turns into the proof of hell, nervously reacting to the supply of fuel and "spraying" exhaust when switching gear. The behavior in the turns at the same time surreal - due to the active stabilizers of rolls are not felt at all! Reactions to turns heavy steering Almost instant, and the accuracy of the trajectory is amazing. At the same time, the smoothness of the course is still good, as well as the turbodiesel modification tested before this. And this is despite the presence of 22-inch wheels. In a word, an amazing car, unrealizable, combining unrestrained power, excellent handling and removable comfort!
According to the results of the test, I can say: the version of GLE Coupe is very distinguished by riding behavior from the usual GLE. The novelty is superior to the "relative" not only by controllability, but also by smoothness. If I had a choice between them, I would stay on the GLE Coupe version. At the same time, the main competitor - BMW X6 - from the "donor" model X5 on the go almost no different. That is, Mercedesovs took into account this moment and were able to competently produce their new items on niches.
