World reviews the new Mercedes GLE500e plug-in hybrid, which came out
earlier this year. It was the first M-Class model to be named ‘GLE’, which
signifies the beginning of Mercedes’ new and improved hybrid range.
Improvements
The GLE looks smooth on the outside, with new headlights and
an improved grille, bonnet, bumper and wings at the front. The front end is so
far from a C-Class, yet very similar from the back. Another new bumper to the
tail end and blue LED lights signify its hybrid status and glamorous exterior,
to really set it apart from previous models.
The major change inside is the new tablet-style
‘infotainment’ screen, which we first saw in the A-Class. There are plenty of
upgrades on features and technology.
What’s it like to drive?
A combined total output of 434bhp and lashing of instant
electric motor torque makes relatively light work of the 2.5-tonne kerbweight
in a straight line. It goes 0-62mph in just 5.3sec – nearly half a second
faster than its rivals.
Verdict
If you really wanted a plug-in hybrid M-Class, then the
waiting is over. And it really lives up to all expectations. Hybrid is the way
the market is going, so it appears this style and model is only going to get
better. An innovative release for Mercedes’ new eco-friendly brand.
