Against the cookie cutter interiors of the S, EQ models, C and probably new E, the GLE cabin looks bespoke.

The US market GLE 350 should have gotten more power - around 300hp. Otherwise this facelift is perfect. Very subtle because the original design was so good out the gate. It reminds you of the original ML in a way none of the other generations have. The GLE is Mercedes' best overall SUV.

Only one of these arguments I disagree: the first ML gen is totally forgotten, by right. But the second was really perfect,

I think design wise this one really does remind me of the first ML.

My only criticism of the facelift is that the DTRL makes it resemble the GLC a bit too much.

This is a very mild FL but it still looks good. I am still undecided if I prefer the pre FL or FL headlight graphics over each other. Both look fantastic. Interior also with mild changes I noticed some extra chrome on the vents and the MBUX is updated and some new leather colours but otherwise the interior looks the same.

These reminds are very interesting.
The W212 (rear) reminded me of the /8, whilst the W212 Mopf (rear) reminded me of the W126

Just saw the current GLE pre facelift and it’s a beautiful SUV after seen the nee lights I think it will make the GLE look even better

It's a handsome car; it needed very little change, and the front bumper and headlight graphics were on top of my list. I would have liked to have seen changes to the interior, however.

I was driving behind an emerald green pre FL GLE today and fully agree that its a very good looking SUV. I think its probably the best looking Mercedes SUV, it disguises its size very well and appears to look smaller than its real dimensions suggest.

Tailights were the real weakness of this car, which have been fixed. I would totally get one to replace my C43.

My favourite colour for this car.

AMG interior looks really nice and bright with the half red and black/grey combo. I like the red stitching on the seats and top of dash.

I am curious about the door pockets, is Mercedes still using hard plastic for this or changed to soft molding in the FL?

GLE in base 450 form seems to be the sweet spot. With 381PS (280kw) it has more than enough power and combined with the softer suspension than the AMG versions and smooth as butter and melodious inline 6

And it has a distinct and unique interior. From dashboard and door cards to central armrest divider, the cabin is exquisite unless your priority is oversized screens.
