5 Ways the 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE Was Born to Lead

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE continues its legacy of excellence, building on the foundation that established the premium SUV segment back in 1997. With the full-scale electrification now standard across all variants, the GLE stands as a testament to Mercedes-Benz's forward-thinking approach to luxury mobility. Each aspect of this remarkable vehicle has been carefully refined to deliver an unparalleled driving experience.

Designed for versatility, the GLE excels in all environments—from family outings and leisure activities to long-distance journeys and heavy hauling. The standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive system ensures reliable performance even in challenging conditions, mastering poor traction scenarios and conquering off-road terrain with gradients of up to 100 percent.

Electrified Performance That Commands Respect

The 2025 GLE lineup features fully electrified powertrains across all models. Each variant now incorporates mild hybrid technology with a 48-volt system and Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), enhancing both efficiency and performance. The GLE 350 4MATIC delivers 255 horsepower with an additional 20 horsepower boost from the hybrid system, while the GLE 450 4MATIC steps up with 375 horsepower plus the same 20 horsepower boost. This electrification not only improves responsiveness but also contributes to reduced fuel consumption without sacrificing the power you expect from a premium SUV.

Off-Road Capability That Conquers All Terrain

The GLE excels beyond paved roads with its comprehensive off-road features. The innovative "transparent engine hood" function transforms your driving experience in difficult terrain. By activating the off-road drive program, the central display shows a virtual view under the front of the vehicle, making it dramatically easier to navigate over obstacles like large stones or deep potholes. This technology proves invaluable when driving over ramps or crests, giving you confidence in situations where visibility would otherwise be limited.

Towing Capacity That Handles Your Ambitious Plans

With an impressive towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg and a tongue weight of up to 140 kg, the 2025 GLE stands ready for your most demanding hauling needs. Whether you're towing a boat for a weekend at the lake, transporting a valuable classic car, or pulling a larger caravan for an extended road trip across the provinces, the GLE's all-wheel drive system and traction-optimized gear ratio ensure you'll get the job done with confidence. The improved Active Steering Assist now remains activated even in towing mode, helping you maintain your lane automatically—a feature that proves especially valuable when cornering with a trailer.

Intelligent Technology That Anticipates Your Needs

The latest generation of MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) transforms the GLE's interior into a more digital and intelligent space. The dual 12.3-inch displays for driver information and central controls offer a holistic, aesthetic experience with customizable display styles. The "Hey Mercedes" voice assistant now functions with greater intelligence, capable of learning from your interactions and recognizing your position in the vehicle. It even responds to commands without the activation keyword for certain functions, such as taking a phone call.

Modern Design That Makes a Statement

The 2025 GLE features thoughtful exterior updates that enhance its modern presence on the road. The redesigned front bumper creates a more powerful visual impact, complemented by two horizontal louvres with chrome inserts running through the radiator grille. The distinctive daytime running light design now includes two light points with the standard LED High-Performance headlamps, while the optional LED configuration provides four light points. New colour options, including sodalite blue metallic and MANUFAKTUR alpine grey solid, give you more ways to express your personal style.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLE doesn't just continue a tradition of excellence—it actively pushes the boundaries of what a luxury SUV can achieve. Through its blend of electrified performance, off-road capability, towing prowess, intelligent technology, and refined design, the GLE establishes itself as a true leader in its class.
