How powerful is the Mercedes-Benz GLE?

Before you purchase your next new vehicle, it is important to do a fair amount of research to make sure you are getting the best model for your driving needs. Many drivers have expectations for a vehicle’s performance capabilities, which means it’s important to meet those standards. To help you learn more about the Mercedes-Benz GLE, we’re going to take a closer look at just how powerful it is.

2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE Performance Capabilities

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE comes with a 3.5-liter engine that helps produce 302 horsepower. It also has a 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles. This system provides a smooth, responsive and efficient performance. It offers the ideal responsiveness in just about every driving situation. This system also has adaptive logic that adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while shift paddles on the steering wheel let you enjoy manual-style control anytime.
In addition, the Mercedes-Benz GLE has AGILITY CONTROL suspension. This system automatically adjusts the individual shock absorbers based on the road surface and the driver’s current driving style. This helps provide sharper handling feedback and stability and reduces the damping rates during gentler motions for a more composed ride. These powerful systems also work together to give the GLE a towing capacity of 6,600 pounds to help you bring everything you need along for the ride.
