The Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG Coupe is Benz鈥檚 answer to the BMW X6.
Benz鈥檚 old ML is now called GLE and the Coupe is the ML/GLE with --
you guessed it -- more of a coupe body. The GLE450鈥檚 name reflects
Benz鈥檚 recent nomenclature reorg, conceptually linked to the E-Class,
mechanically with the ML: All Benz crossovers are now GLs and have a
letter telling us where they sit in relation to the cars. So the GLE
occupies roughly the same spot in the SUV hierarchy that the E-Class
occupies on the car side. So basically, the GLE450 AMG Coupe is more
emotional than rational. The emphasis is on style, design and sporting
feel. To that end, the Coupe is significantly restyled front and rear
and, most obviously, through its sloping roof and raked pillars.
Anyway, we get two versions, the GLE 450 AMG Coupe and the big-dog AMG
GLE 63 S Coupe. The 450 has five driving modes, each potentially more
dynamic than the last: comfort, slippery (for snow and ice), sport,
sport-plus and individual. The modes are selected with a knob on the
center console.
