最近谍照记者拍到了2019款奔驰GLE最新照片。从车身更少的伪装判断，奔驰将在未来几个月后发布这款车。这辆接近量产版测试车看起来采用了最终量产版的外装，包括造型顺滑的前大灯和细窄的尾灯组。车头格栅采用两个水平横杠，这辆红色GLE很可能是AMGLine版本，该车将配备更大尺寸合金轮圈。无论何种版本，第四代W167GLE看起来都比老款车更具运动范儿。虽然新车看起来比老款车更小一些，或许是由于新车改款变得更圆润后形成的错觉。虽然这次没有拍到车辆内装，但先前网上发布的内装视频显示，新车采用的MBUX信息娱乐系统搭配了两个12.3英寸显示屏，如果这属于标配也毫不奇怪。预计2019款GLE将在10月的巴黎车展亮相，不过奔驰可能会提前几周在线发布这款车。
2019 Mercedes GLE Caught With Less Camo Than Ever Before
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Mercedes is rejuvenating its entire SUV portfolio. The three-pointed star recently launched the all-new G-Class and is currently putting the finishing touches on the next generations of the GLA, GLE, and GLS while prepping a facelift for the GLC. Not only that, but it’s extending its high-riding offerings by working on a first-ever GLB rumored to serve as a mini G.
Judging by the light amount of camouflage this prototype was wearing, one could be tempted to say an official reveal of the new Mercedes GLE will take place in the coming months. The near-production test vehicle appeared to have all the final bits and pieces, including the sleeker headlights and slimmer taillights.
Looking at the front grille with its two horizontal slats, there’s a good chance the red GLE was of the AMG Line type, which would make sense given the big alloy wheels. Regardless of version, the fourth-generation GLE (W167) looks substantially sportier than the model it’s about to replace. While it may seem a bit smaller compared to its predecessor, it’s probably just an illusion caused by the reshaped and more rounded body enabling a youthful look.
While we don’t get the chance to have a look inside the cabin, the very same YouTube user that goes by the name of walkoART caught on camera the interior of a different prototype at the beginning of the year. It had the new MBUX infotainment system with a pair of 12.3-inch, which we won’t be too surprised if it will come as standard equipment.
The wraps should come off just in time for the Paris Motor Show scheduled to start at the beginning of October, although Mercedes could decide to reveal the all-new GLE online a few weeks sooner.
