Wow that's a hot Rear.

Nice interior, extreior is ok,but nothing special.. Probably AMG will look better.

 

[Keyonte]

very bland like every other M (GLE) generation. Nice interior tho, I know its going to sell!

Only one engine for start in Europe ?!

The base does look good, rugged but this is the one I'd have:

I like the use of wood in the centre console instead of the recent addiction by Germans to add black gloss look.

Better than i thought, interesting air vents. But still nothing ground breaking.

Now we’re talking - athletic. I really like the rear - first time I’ve ever said that about a ML/GLE.

The interior has a wow factor for it’s target audience.

Oh yes that's the best GLE without a doubt.

Love the AMG version and actually even like the standard.

The interior is beautiful even more in these pics.

Great job.

 

[Serpens]

Absolutely fantastic.

I would say this is the first time Mercedes has put a full effort into the GLE and put the same effort as they do in the Sedans.

It's more advanced then the E which usually is the opposite.

 

[sako97]

Absolutely fantastic.

We gotta wait for our esteemed GCF design insiders to give their verdict before stating that conclusion

 

[sako97]

That chrome strip on the front bumper of the standard spec looks so random. It’d look cleaner with just black mesh, imo.

Just as expected, you need it fully optioned to look good.

And why couldn't they do without the fake vent like the EQC

After seeing this photos, i don't regret a bit that decided not to wait for the new GLE and ordered a Q7.
Don't like interior at all. It seems that the designers felt nostalgic for the BMW e36 and Porsche Cayenne Gen1 at the same time. The A-class climate control - not a great idea.

And the exterior? Looks good only in AMG trim.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

I'm really having trouble with the base model front end in these shots. It looks absolutely terrible to me so far. Squinty, narrow and weak. The side profile of the base model also has the same wagonesque look of the current generation and it just doesn't look good to me. It's unexpectedly evolutionary, bland even, and clearly designed to poach Lexus RX customers.

But my oh my does the AMG version transform the vehicle. It's absolutely on point.

The interior is an SUV iteration of the current S-class interior. I'll reserve my judgment for an in person experience.
