19.07.2019

German company introduced "new-old" crossover Mercedes-Benz GLE in 2015. He replaced the ML-Class model in the model range of the brand.

In fact, only the name was changed and the appearance of the car was slightly refreshed. Structurally new Mercedes GLE is the same model that received a new name as a result of the transition to a new nomenclature of names.

Exterior

The appearance of the mid-size crossover is made in the current corporate style of the brand, which debuted on the last one. Compared to the pre-reform ML, the new Mercedes GLE began to look more modern, and the body is shaped by smoother lines.

Looking at new model Mercedes GL 2017-2018 is strictly in front, it seems that its “face” is one continuous huge air intake covered with a mesh with a sporty texture, and the rest of the decor has already been applied on top.

The main radiator grille is made in the traditional trapezoidal shape and is covered with the same mesh, on top of which are attached two interconnected chrome-plated horizontal ribs with a partially hollow center and a huge logo in the center.

Along the edges are modern LED headlights with "double eyes" under the frowning "eyebrows" of LED DRLs. Below is another lattice, but already wider. And along the edges in the lower part are two air intakes with one chrome-plated horizontal separator rib.

When looking at the car from the side, the traditional premium Mercedes-Benz profile is immediately visible. It is expressed in a protruding hood, a hidden rear pillar that creates the effect of an overhanging roof, a rather rich body relief that provides beautiful game light on expensive enamel when exposed to light. And big wheels with a spectacular design discs, tightly filling the holes in the wheel arches.

The stern of the new Mercedes GLE 2017 is similarly recognizable, thanks to the pattern repeating other models (not just crossovers) rear lights. We have a spoiler protruding in the upper part with a built-in horizontal LED stoplight bar.

The doors are quite large and taper at the bottom, forming a trapezoid. At the bottom along the edges are decorative rectangular exhaust tips.

Salon

Looking into the interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLE 2017, you immediately understand that you are dealing with a premium model, and this can be guessed not only by the logo in the form of a three-pointed star on the steering wheel.

Wood inserts, metal trim, leather - everything is in place and made very high quality. But on the other hand, the interior of the GLE does not look "Mercedes" luxurious. There is a lot of plastic in the cockpit, albeit soft, but, nevertheless, we are dealing with a very expensive car.

In front of the driver there is a leather-wood, or leather-flattened, depending on the version, 3-spoke steering wheel with two blocks of buttons on the spokes on the left and right. Behind him is a combination of instruments, made according to the traditional modern models scheme - two analog wells of a speedometer and a tachometer, and between them an information display.

The main difference between the new Mercedes GLE 2017-2018 and the ML in the interior was the engine start button and a large screen multimedia system tablet type, towering above the center console surrounded by ventilation deflectors. Below is the control box. various systems car, and below them is the climate control area.

In terms of the comfort of landing the car, there are practically no questions. It is possible that those sitting in the front seats will not be entirely comfortable with an active “serpentine” ride, but this is probably already nit-picking. Passengers located on the back sofa will be spacious in all directions, and also, the flat floor is especially pleasing.

Characteristics

As noted above, the replacement of letters in the name was the most noticeable change. In technical terms, the Mercedes GLE 2017 has a minimum of improvements. The platform is the same, which does not allow the SUV to get some modern technologies available to competitors. IN power range there are new motors.

The Mercedes GLE is a 5-door, five-seat crossover SUV measuring 4,900 mm long, 2,003 mm wide, 1,731 mm high, and wheelbase- 2915 mm. The curb weight of the car, depending on the version, ranges from 2,130 to 2,465 kg. Trunk volume is standard 690 liters, and when folded rear seats- 2,010 liters (480 / 1,800 liters for a hybrid).

The crossover is equipped with an independent spring suspension: double-lever front, multi-link rear, and optional pneumatic. Brakes on both axles are perforated disc brakes. Wheels 255/55 R18 - 255/50 R19.

Power gamma Russian version models include two diesel and five petrol engines:

in-line 4-cylinder diesel engine with a volume of 2.1 liters and a power of 204 hp. and 500 Nm of torque
diesel V6 with a volume of 3.0 liters with a capacity of 249 hp and 620 Nm

During the next semi-annual report concern Daimler the plan for the release of new models for the coming year was made public to the shareholders. We are talking about the timing of the appearance of cars on the market, because some of the cars indicated on the chart have already been officially presented: for example, updated and hydrogen crossover.

So, closer to the spring of 2018, the third generation of the “four-door coupe” will enter the market. Mercedes-CLS, and the debut, according to preliminary information, will take place in November this year. A spectacular sedan is traditionally created on the basis of the Mercedes E-class - this time. By the way, wait for the new CLS station wagon Shooting brake not worth it: the five-door of the previous generation was not in demand and it was decided to abandon it.

The release of another car of a similar format is scheduled for autumn - this time under the Mercedes-AMG sub-brand. Premiere production car should take place much earlier - already in January, at the Detroit Auto Show. A show car with a five-door liftback body allows you to get an idea of the appearance of a four-door. It is assumed that this will be a competitor to the Panamera. Despite the common name with the Mercedes-AMG GT two-door supercars, their rearward-mounted gearbox platform will not be used: based future car the chassis of the same E-class of the W213 series will fall.

Mercedes-AMG GT Concept

In the spring, the fourth generation of the compact Mercedes A-class will appear on sale, and firstly in the form of a sedan. Appearance can be judged by the one presented in Shanghai. An interesting detail was also revealed: it turns out that the smallest Mercedes will have a long-wheelbase version! The release of the stretched sedan is scheduled for the end of 2018. Apparently, this modification is intended for Chinese market. And this is not the only long wheelbase that will appear next year: there is also a stretched version of the mid-size crossover Mercedes GLC.

Mercedes-Benz Concept A Sedan

The rest of the novelties of the 2018 season are not so curious: these are slightly refreshed versions of the compact C-class and legendary SUV G-class. This means that completely new Gelendvagen will have to wait until 2019. And another premiere - new van Mercedes Sprinter.

At the beginning of 2017 the lineup off-road Mercedes-Benz sample 2018 was completely filled. It included:

compact crossover GLA, which is produced both with proprietary 4Matic and with front-wheel drive only;
small new jeep from Mercedes 2018, GLC model, which, contrary to the expectations and forecasts of skeptics, did not become a "front-wheel drive station wagon with increased ground clearance";
an SUV with a sporty touch in appearance and corresponding habits, created on its basis, with a sloping stern, which, according to all forecasts, will become a bestseller in our country, the GLC coupe car;
medium size all-wheel drive SUV, which accounts for the bulk of brand sales, Mercedes model GLE 2018;
main BMW competitor x6, mercedes benz GLE 2018 coupe with a slick rear end;
big, full size car with 4x4 drive, designed for 7 seats new Mercedes GLS 2018, after restyling, another letter appeared in the name;
and uncompromising, brutal mercedes SUV G class sample 2018, which will celebrate its fourth anniversary in two years,

Seven new Mercedes with the letter G in the name: the company enters 2018 fully armed. Making a choice for a wealthy client (remember the cost of cars) will be very difficult.

2018 Mercedes GLE name history

Over the years of production, starting in 1997, when sales of the new midsize SUV with a three-beam star on the grille, the car has already changed its name three times:

he first appeared as Mercedes M-class, but BMW rebelled, reserving this letter to designate its charged models;
then - ML: with this reduction, the car was produced until 2015;
and finally, after restyling, the car appeared with the abbreviation GLE, with which the new Mercedes will appear in 2018.

Such was thorny path the search for a recognizable name for a car, which finally ended only by 2017. Now it fully complies with the designation adopted by the concern for Mercedes models of various branches of the G class adopted since 2018.

Latest news about the 2018 Mercedes GLE

In addition to the basic information that in 2017 the model entered the final tests and will be presented to the general public very soon, the following is known about the new Mercedes 2018 according to fragmentary information and spy photos:

The appearance of the Mercedes GLE 2018 is carefully hidden by camouflage. That's why:
it will become larger, but at the same time, the appearance will not be more heavy and overweight;
the execution of the frontal part is massive and more embossed: the owners of the car have repeatedly reproached the creators for the incompleteness of the appearance;
optics will become more difficult;
finally the line rear windows especially carefully hidden, but there is no doubt: the SUV will not lose such a recognizable feature.

Although on the way to assembly line There will be a lot of different changes in the car.

Specifications of the new Mercedes GLE 2018 are shrouded in mystery. But we still managed to find out something about the W167:
the car will be built on the MHA platform - the one on which the GLC was created;
4, 6 and 8-cylinder petrol and diesel engines will be available;
permanent four-wheel drive will remain;
and of course, one (or more) hybrid versions will be available.

Although making some serious predictions in 2017 regarding the car, the premiere of which is constantly shifting, is a thankless task.

The interior of the Mercedes GLE 2018 the creators tried to hide. But on the same photos of the front panel, covered with a shapeless cover, it is clearly seen that two large screens (approximately one touchscreen) will appear on it at once, located horizontally. What they will be responsible for, and what functions in the car will be closed to each of them, is not yet clear.

In addition, four deflectors are clearly visible in the photo. ventilation system while everything else is hidden from prying eyes. There is a strong feeling that dashboard it’s just not ready yet, and the car was sent for tests “as is”.

At the same time, the cost of the car, on the basis of which the 2018 Mercedes GLS will then be built, is not known at all: for now, you can speculate and guess what it will be. But most experts agree on one thing: if it becomes higher than the generation sold today in the back of the W166, it will be very insignificant. The competition in the class is such that the “fork” is from 4 million for the initial configuration to more than 8 for special versions- this is the limit for Russians who pick up a fashionable full-size car with a 4x drive

What will GLE sales from Mercedes Benz in 2018 and subsequent years, it is too early to say what market share the novelty will take and what will be the fate of the model. Time will show.

"Chain reaction": when will the new GLS Mercedes 2018?

The inextricable connection between the two cars is well traced. And after the debut of the novelty from Mercedes, expected in 2018, the “big brother”, the Mercedes GLS, will also catch up. However, according to all the canons of the concern, a car that survived not only a name change, but also a restyling in 2015, will have an heir only in 4-5 years. Wait new Mercedes GLS in 2018 is definitely not worth it, it will be released much later.

Cautious Update: New 2018 Mercedes Benz G-classe

On the one hand, updating this automobile "dinosaur" was required for a very long time. In 2017, the machine, created for the needs of the military more than a dozen years ago, is obsolete in many respects. And on the other hand, they don’t look for good from good. The popularity and demand for the model in various parts of the world, the steady demand, financially supported by the considerable price of the car, forced the designers to be especially careful, carefully weighing every step and every decision. After all, the main commandment when creating new generation Mercedes G-classe 2018 - do no harm.

The predecessor of the 2018 Mercedes GLS produced today, the X164 model, also claimed to “take the crown” from the classic Gelendvagen. And although the car turned out to be worthy in all respects, it does not reach the level of the charismatic G-class. Therefore, the development of a successor is ongoing today.

The news from Mercedes until 2018 does not end there: we are waiting for a lot of new products. How special versions models produced today, and machines created "with clean slate". Which of them will be successful, and which will become an outright failure - time will tell, the work of marketers and the mood of the public, which will have time to get fed up with new products for the whole of 2017.

The Expected 2018 Mercedes GLT Will Like It a large number drivers, because this car features a number of innovations. The crossover from Mercedes-Benz has new decor elements, the interior has been completely redesigned.

Impeccable bodywork

Until 2015, everyone knew this iconic crossover with the M-ME marking, now it has grown into the GLE. What is new prepared by designers, designers and engineers for updated version? A lot of things are added in the interior, digital control software, security systems and strength reinforcement.

exterior parameters

Options appearance, features of appearance and functionality of the model can be distinguished by the following elements of updates:

Platform update. The use of the MHA (Modular High Architecture) platform, which means “platform of high architectures”. This approach allowed the car to grow noticeably in size. At the same time, he lost some weight, which is already easier for lovers of maneuverability. The lengthening and expansion, in turn, made it possible to improve the engine section, increase the efficiency of transmissions and increase the fuel consumption of the units.
Cool design. In the design of the forms and lines of the body, wings and doors, brutality, presentability and sporty dynamics are immediately evident. To this should be added the impressively convex wheel arches, which, with their volume, give even more rigor and some aggressiveness to the car.
Preservation of the classic. As an SUV, the model looks decent - the simplicity of the lines remains, the relatively flat surface of the roof descending towards the rear, which has protrusions on the sides - the curb relief. The original recess in the lower part of the side doors complements the classics of the German brand.
Adding strength to the front cover. The hood is reinforced with additional stiffening ribs. Here it is they who give the car sportiness together with overhangs in front.
Grace rear bumper. The rear bumper is made quite neatly and is slightly raised above the ground than in previous model variations.

To this it should also be added that the headlights will become different, it is not yet known which ones. But they will be perfectly combined with the grille. High-strength steel material is used to equip the body, beams and other elements that directly affect the safety of the car and the people in it. Elements on which safety depends little will be made of plastic. These include exterior trim, etc.

The interior of the Mercedes GLE 2018

Indeed, the new model will be based on high-tech innovations in terms of corrosion-resistant material. The body with all its details, at its core, will be completely made of such an alloy. This includes the procedure of "cataphoretic priming", which is currently not used by all automotive manufacturers. This additional protection"skeleton" from the appearance of rust.

Now we can say only about a few features of the interior:

Features of the interior of the Mercedes GLE-2018 are still known only in some details. The entire interior in the photo is shown under the cover of covers. Manufacturers used marketing ploy intrigue for future owners. But it is already well known that appearance the cabin will be from the E-class "Mars".

Specifications

The exact dimensions are not yet known, there is only information that the car will increase in size. But how much, you should still learn about this from official representatives trademark. Characteristic technical parameters and some details of the base that motorists will like:

The bottom of the body is additionally protected against corrosion by a special aluminum alloy plate.
Noise cancellation will be improved with specially selected new materials so that the new model is supposed to be completely superior to any other brand.
The V6 engine will be replaced. Now he is developing the latest construct, where there will be 6 cylinders, turbocharging and it will be possible to refuel such an engine with gasoline. But for some samples of the modified model, it will be possible to use 4-cylinder power units. They will be able to handle both gasoline and diesel fuel. In terms of volume and power, all power points will be larger, and in terms of saving the fuel composition, they will reduce consumption rates.
The checkpoint will meet both mechanical and automatic. True, official dealers say that they will leave only one 7-speed automatic. We'll have to wait a little longer for more full information about these details.
will appear anti-lock system for axles when braking.
Having an advanced cruise control system will give the car a key advantage - even on high speed he will be able to keep a sufficient distance from the car in front.
When drifting, the car is more balanced and stays on four wheels for a long time. This was made possible thanks to special electronic equipment - the stability control system.
