GLE (W167) New Generation GLE Coupe Debuts

[Betty Swollocks]

If you accept that these coupe SUVs exist, then I think this looks perfectly fine. I don't know why it's getting criticised at all.

Surprised there isn't an Autogefuhl video on this car yet they are usually the first out with a video especially of German cars.

To show us what? Just the rear? Since thats the difference from normal Gle
Probably will be mentioned at IAA

The front, like the regular GLE, remains the weak part for me.
But those rear lights might be the best in the Benz line-up right now. I really like the rear of this car. Beautiful.

Agree with this and was about to say the same.
I think this one of those vehicles that must be seen in the metal to appreciate its qualities.
A quick take on the previous one compared to the new one.
The new one has a slight wedge kick in the window line compared to the previous one.
The rear deck/ overhang is slightly shorter and faster making the entire car look like it was carved out of a single block of steel.
Rear-end is vastly improved compared to the previous one.

The GLE Coupe looks much better in person. It looks like Moby Dick. It rides very high and I once had one behind me at a set of traffic lights and from the rear-view mirror, the gaping front of the GLE looks like it's going to devour me.

The old has a better front half, more coherent grill and lights and a well passing shoulder line. The rear half of the new is much improved.

Interesting take. In person, I feel the front of the new GLE looks far more cohesive and muscular than the last gen.

The new one has some kind of shark nose, which IMHO does not suit a MB
Edit: the shark nose needs very low front, while in the case of the GLE Coupe it is high and it looks very bulky.

Is AMG vertical grille coming on 53 models? What will 63 will have now??

What a way to devalue the Panamerica grille. Before we know it, Mercedes will make it a trim option for non-AMG cars.

Seems like there isn’t a video of the new X6 on Autogefuhl as well ...I was about to say maybe they consider the GLE/coupe and X5/6 the same thing, but then they have the Cayenne and Coupe on review. Go figure.

As it seems, the usual presentation in studio or exteriors was not given to any of the two vehicles, but not only to autogefuhl, because I do not remember any video of any media or youtuber on the X6.
It is reserved to be presented to everyone in the IAA, I suppose the Mercedes too.

 

[MR Simon]

i know i will love it even more when i see it.

 

[PHYBENZ]

Looks good, just doesn't look like a Mercedes to me.

 

[braaf]

it certainly is starting to grow on me. I like it.

 

[Abbat]

Looks good.

 

[fortuner]

Looks very nice and I am sure will look even better when I see it ...

I really like the Rear.

 

[MR Simon]

I bet you would also with the previous

I think they have made it like this in order to be easy to replicate it with Lego blocks
