Looks boring already.

But mostly singapore is GLC, X5 and Q5. Very seldom have the bigger SUVs.

 

Frankly no need lah, esp if it's a 5 seater, already so spacious for the above mentioned cars.

7 seater then need more space.

What's that above the fuel cap?

Looks like a charging point.

Just a sticker or some label. Charging point or it cover unlikely to be that small, and above the fuel cap, for the obvious reasons. 

 

BTW, the interior look interesting and quite different from the layout in it current lineup.

Looks like a design downgrade.

Gadget-packed 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV pushes high-tech offroading

 

https://newatlas.com/2019-mercedes-benz-gle-450-4matic-suv/56295/

 

Mercedes-Benz has updated its upscale, outdoorsy GLE SUV with a barrage of high-tech goodies, including suspension that leans into corners, an intelligent, voice controlled user interface system that learns your habits, and some fascinating new driver assist ideas.

Hot on the heels of the all-electric EQC we saw last week comes another gadget-laden 4WD Merc riding the fine line between round-town luxury and serious off-road mud flinging. The 2019 GLE gets its first major refresh since the badge was launched back in 2015, and it's quite an overhaul.

Powertrain

The GLE 450 4MATIC will launch with a new inline 6-cylinder petrol engine, making 367 horsepower and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque. But, like many vehicles coming onto the market, it's got built-in 48-volt electrical systems. These don't replace the traditional 12-volt systems that run things like the power windows, displays and lighting, but augment the car with a range of extra abilities.

One of these new powers is an electric "EQ Boost" that throws an extra 22 horsepower (and more importantly, an extra 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) on top of the combustion engine's output – but only for short bursts.

This powerful new electrical system also runs the air-con, the integrated starter/generator and the water pump, as well as the GLE's very cool hydro-pneumatic active suspension, which we'll get to in a minute.

There will be further engine variants announced in the coming months, including diesel and plug-in hybrid engines, but all variants will use the same 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system.

If you really wanna get crazy with it, the GLE can be optioned with an off-road transfer case giving you a reduction gear set and an automatic diff-locking system that can vary between 0-100 percent when you're out rock-hopping in your luxury SUV.

Driver Assistance

In addition to emergency braking, lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise with automatic speed limit switching, active steering assist, and whatever else you might expect from a modern tech-packed battleship like this, the GLE adds a few new assist features we haven't seen before.

When you're belting along a freeway with adaptive cruise enabled, the car uses live traffic information streams to identify where there might be a traffic jam ahead. If you're coming up on something that looks suspicious, the car will slow itself from autobahn speeds down to 100 km/h (62 mph), a speed from which Mercedes is confident the car can pull up to a complete stop in time to avoid crashing into a queue of stopped cars.

Once in stopped traffic, the GLE will crawl along of its own accord, relieving drivers of the need to ride the pedals, or indeed even the steering wheel, to the point where it'll start pulling over to the side to let emergency vehicles through (as is required by law in certain areas), as you come to a stop, nudging you over to the edge of the outside lane marker without crossing it. If there's no lane markings, it'll follow whatever the guy in front of you is doing.

Another interesting touch is the "turning-off function" inherent to the GLE's active brake assist package. When you indicate to turn across traffic, the car starts scanning the oncoming traffic lanes with long-range radar and stereo cameras to see if there's anything coming you might have missed. It'll auto-brake you to a stop if you're still on your own side of the road and it thinks you won't make it safely.

There's also some new intelligence built into the MBUX user interface system in the dash, to help you maneuver a trailer in reverse. Using an articulation sensor on the tow ball, it can automatically perform a series of moves like parallel parking and backing into driveways, while showing the trailer's orientation and projected path from a number of different angles on the screen. Very nice.

The MBUX multimedia system

Like the EQC, the GLE is kitted out with Mercedes' latest and greatest user experience system (MBUX) to control settings, navigation, connectivity and entertainment. That entails two large 12.3-inch wide screens next to each other, with four different display moods to choose from, and a combination of button, touch, gesture and voice controls. Gesture and touch controls are seat-specific; the car knows whether it's the driver or the passenger asking for the seat massage function, for example.

We're suckers for a nice display, and from the press photos we've got, this thing looks super cool. And its range of abilities is out of the ordinary as well, with extended off-road information displays, automatic setting of ergonomics based on your body size, superimposed house numbers and signs on your video displays, and a feature called "Energizing Coach" that we like to imagine will give you pep talks if you're starting to look a little dozey.

The voice control system recognizes natural language queries and commands. It's activated by saying "Hey, Mercedes," which might cause some confusion if one of your kids goes by that name.

The MBUX system's trump card, though, is artificial intelligence. It'll take note of everything you do in the car, from predicting where you're driving given your habits, and checking ahead to see if it can suggest a quicker way if there's unusual traffic, to prompting you to call your mum, if that's something you often do on a Tuesday morning after dropping the kids off. All this predictive stuff is handled via quiet suggestion – I've noticed you normally switch to Classic FM for the news around this time, madam, would you like me to do that for you?

 

E-Active Suspension

There's a lot to talk about on this car, but one killer feature made possible by the 48-volt electrical system built in is the GLE's E-Active suspension, which Mercedes claims is the world's most intelligent SUV suspension.

This hydro-pneumatic system is able to take active control of not only the damping at each wheel, but the spring tension as well. And, because it's electrically actuated, it works in reverse too, using bump forces to generate power to increase its own efficiency.

When you hit the gas, most cars have a tendency to squat. The E-Active body control system balances this out by raising the rear. Likewise, it tilts the car backwards under braking. And as the car's cameras scan the roads ahead, the suspension's "curve inclination" feature leans the car into corners much like a motorcycle, counteracting body roll, making life a lot more comfortable in the cabin and perhaps helping the sick bags stay empty in the back seats on twisty roads. Mercedes claims your passengers will feel "practically no centrifugal force" – a bold statement, a worthy goal and something we'd love to try out.

Time flies. The facelift GLE are here and at 'just' <$580K for the GLE450, which make it cheaper than the new Lexus LM350!!

Mercedes GLE and GLE Coupe arrive in Singapore

At the front, the car gets a redesigned bumper, while the grille of the GLE SUV now sports a twin horizontal louvre design. Also new are the head lights, which come as standard here in Singapore as Multibeam LED items that sport four light points.

The taillights of both cars have also been revised and get a daytime running light signet comprising of two horizontal blocks on the GLE SUV, while those in the GLE coupe sport two bars.

The Mercedes-GLE also comes to Singapore in the AMG Line exterior trim, which adds the Mercedes-Benz diamond grille in chrome, and an AMG front apron. The SUVs will also come with side sill panels and wheel arch cladding in the same colour as the vehicle exterior. The AMG Line also finishes the rear of the SUV with an AMG rear apron coupled with a diffuser-look insert.

In the cabin, both cars get the latest-generation steering wheel from Mercedes complete with touch-sensitive surfaces that allow the driver to operate both the digital instrument cluster and central infotainment display.

The centre and side air vents of the cabin also now come in a chrome look, while Manufaktur piano lacquer black trim is also now available - both touches borrowed from the Mercedes-Maybach GLS. The cars are also said to sport the same colours and colour palettes for its ambient lighting system as those offered in the S-Class.

The cars also now come with a Burmester premium surround sound system complete with the Dolby Atmos immersive audio experience and an online music service. The system utilises a total of 13 speakers and 13 separate amplifier channels to deliver a system output of 590W.

The GLE family is being launched here starting from the GLE450 which gets a 375bhp 3.0-litre engine paired to a mild hybrid system. This GLE450 will complete the century sprint in 5.6 seconds.

WHY a Left hand drive Steering wheel ?

it’s juzz irreverent ………

Anwae Buying a Merk in dat Segment ,Doesn’t matter it’s Chesoer or more Ex.its a SMART Choice.

Be it performance ,comfort or the Hi Tech .

Most would wans to be seen ,driving one.

its an old cliche but it’s all TRUE.
