GLE Coupé: The Emerging Design Icon of the Mercedes-Benz Product Portfolio.

Since its introduction, the GLE Coupé has opened up Mercedes-Benz to the full-size sports utility coupé segment and it continues to thrive as one of Mercedes-Benz most sold vehicles around the world. Its design combines SUV and coupé elements, while its handling combines performance and agility. The result is a vehicle, the like of which has never been seen before for people looking to impress.

The most striking aspect of the GLE Coupé remains its dynamic and revolutionary coupé like design. This has aided in its perception of being sporty and yet very high in comfort. The sporty, imposing exterior of the GLE Coupé underscores it’s on-road character with a coupé roofline, hallmark SUV elements and standard-fit 50.8 cm (20-inch) light-alloy wheels, this makes it a significant standout from the GLE and the other SUVs from Mercedes-Benz.

The emergence of the GLE Coupé sees a combining of two classes of vehicle, each with its own distinct style to make a new model. In addition to convincing on-road vehicle dynamics, the GLE Coupé looks impressive as well. With its flowing side contour, elongated and low greenhouse, striking radiator grille with central chrome louvre and rear end design, the GLE Coupé cites styling features typical of particularly sporty Mercedes-Benz models.

The prominent front with radiator trim typical of a coupé differentiates the Coupé from the GLE at first sight, with key design features like the Contoured powerdomes on the bonnet that underscore its performance capabilities and the Vertical radiator trim with centrally positioned Mercedes star, typical of a coupé with single louvre. The front bumper with diamond grille and the generously sized simulated underguard in chrome look gives the GLE Coupé the typical SUV appearance. While the LED High Performance headlamps create a highlight both during the day and at night thanks to their distinctive design, with daytime running lamps featuring LED fiber optics integrated into the upper part of the headlamps.

In design terms, the coupé-typical lines of the side view underscore the sportiness and on-road character of the GLE Coupé. 50.8 cm (20-inch) light-alloy wheels are fitted as standard for the first time, also new is the range of up to 55.9 cm (22-inch) optional light-alloy wheels, for an impressive appearance. Cladding on the wheel arches and above the side skirts differentiate the Coupe from the GLE and underscore the SUV look. There are also Illuminated, aluminium-look running boards with rubber studs (846) for an enhanced SUV look and more convenient entry and exit for the driver and passengers. Other key features of the side design include the long wheelbase with short overhangs for impressive proportions, a roof line which drops towards the rear for a coupe-typical silhouette and low windows, high beltline and a dropping line for an exciting sense of dynamism.

The rear end design is eye-catching, thanks to the low roof and impressive vehicle width. The two visible tailpipe trim elements integrated into the bumper for all engine variants reinforce the sporty impression, the functional tailpipe trim comes in conjunction with petrol engine variants only. The two-piece, widely stretched tail lights make for a sweeping rear end, with all lighting functions featuring LED technology. Another design highlight is the rear bumper with chrome-look simulated underguard, license plate holder integrated into the bumper like on the S-Class Coupé. There is also a tailgate with an aerodynamically shaped spoiler lip and coupé-typical raked rear window which stretches across the entire width, the chrome panels in the tailgate above the tail lights emphasize the vehicle’s width.
