奔驰近日正式发布了GLE轿跑车。作为宝马X6竞争车型，GLE在造型风格上同样结合了轿跑车和跨界车特性，包括突出的前脸，单条横杠格栅，两侧的LED前大灯，动感的车顶线条，类似S级轿跑车的独特车尾。车身其他亮点包括塑料车身防擦条，镀铬装饰，双排气尾管和标配20英寸合金轮圈（21和22英寸轮圈为选装件）。而GEL450 AMG采用了更具侵略性AMG车身组件，21英寸轻质合金轮圈。内部配备AIRMATIC空气悬挂，自适应减震系统，自动降低车身高度功能可在车辆高速行驶时自动调低离地间隙。该车标配的AMG九速自动变速器带有动态选择驾驶模式，可提供包括个性化（INDIVIDUAL），舒适（COMFORT），湿滑（SLIPPERY），运动（SPORT）和运动强化（SPORT+）五种模式。在最后一种模式中，换挡声音与前四种明显不同，同时加速反应更凌厉，方向盘转动感觉也更像一辆运动车。该车的车厢内采用纳帕真皮运动方向盘，不锈钢踏板，碳纤维内饰以及黑色钢琴漆装饰件。此外还标配运动座椅，运动方向盘，新的信息娱乐系统，同时还增加了银色装饰件和铝制或实木装饰。GLE轿跑车可提供多种引擎，其中GLE 350 d 4MATIC功率190千瓦/258马力，扭矩620牛米；GLE 400 4MATIC搭载一台3.0升V6双涡轮增压引擎，功率245千瓦/333马力，扭矩480牛米；上面提及的GLE 450 AMG搭载一台动力更强劲的3.0升V6双涡轮增压引擎，功率270千瓦/367马力，扭矩520牛米。
Mercedes GLE Coupe officially unveiled
Mercedes has officially unveiled the GLE Coupe.
Designed to tackle the BMW X6, the GLE Coupe is billed as a "striking" combination of a coupe and a crossover. The jury's still out on that hyperbole but the crossover features a prominent front fascia with a single bar grille that is flanked by LED headlights. The model has also a dynamic roofline and a distinctive rear end that echoes the S-Class Coupe. Other notable styling highlights include plastic body cladding, chrome trim, a dual exhaust system and standard 20-inch alloy wheels (21- and 22-inch wheels are optional).
The GLE 450 AMG goes one step further as it adopts an aggressive AMG body kit and 21-inch lightweight alloy wheels. The model also has an AIRMATIC air suspension, an adaptive damping system and an automatic lowering function which reduces the ride height at higher speeds.
The GLE 450 AMG's nine-speed automatic transmission also has a Dynamic Select system with five specially-tuned modes: INDIVIDUAL, COMFORT, SLIPPERY, SPORT and SPORT+. In the latter mode, gear changes are "acoustically accentuated" and the cockpit instruments respond faster and more “sharply." The car's display also shows the longitudinal and lateral acceleration as well as the steering angle via a "photo-realistic motorsports graphic."
Inside, the GLE 450 AMG is distinguished by a nappa leather sports steering wheel, stainless steel pedals and carbon fiber trim with piano black accents.
Speaking of the interior, the standard model has sport seats, a sport steering wheel and a new infotainment display. The cabin also has silver shadow accents and aluminum or wood trim.
As we reported earlier today, the GLE Coupe will be launched with a handful of different engines. Mercedes was coy on detailed specifications but confirmed there will be a GLE 350 d 4MATIC with 258 PS (190 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque. If that's not powerful enough, the GLE 400 4MATIC has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that develops 333 PS (245 kW) and 480 Nm (354 lb-ft) of torque. Last but not least, the aforementioned GLE 450 AMG has a more powerful twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 that produces 367 PS (270 kW) and 520 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque.
