NEW CARS UPCOMING 2019/2020 AT PARIS MOTOR SHOW HIGHLIGHTS REVIEW 2018

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes-Benz GLE receives a significant redesign, focusing on an evolutionary exterior design that maintains its strong presence, particularly with the AMG Line trim. The interior is a major highlight, boasting a clean, horizontal layout dominated by two 12.3-inch screens as standard, powered by the new MBUX system. While the voice control is impressive, its navigation capabilities can be inconsistent. The reviewer praises the increased interior space, especially the generous legroom in the rear, and the flexibility of the movable rear bench. However, a drawback noted is the reduced front visibility due to the sporty design and a slight backward lean of the rear bench. The new suspension systems, including the optional Active Body Control, promise enhanced off-road and on-road capabilities. The reviewer concludes that while the exterior is a personal favorite, the interior's digitalization and build quality are top-notch, making it a strong contender in the full-size SUV segment, though the GLS is suggested for those needing a truly usable third row.
