Mercedes GLE Coupe in the latest Blockbuster movie

Big Motoring World reviews the new Mercedes GLE Coupe, which features with both four and six-wheeled versions of the G-Class SUV in the biggest blockbuster of the year so far, Jurassic World. The film is due for release later this summer, and by then the GLE Coupe will already have been released.

Power

The lowest-priced petrol engine is the 362bhp 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 in the 450 AMG, starting at £62,800. It's capable of 31.7mpg combined and emits 209g/km of CO2. The next rung of the ladder is the luxurious Designo Line spec, which is priced just under £10,000 more, but brings niceties such as active park assist with a 360-degree camera, soft-close doors,  a panoramic sunroof, quilted leather with cooling and massaging functions and a Harmon-Kardon surround sound system.

The top-of-the-range Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 starts at £96,550 and sports a 5.5-litre twin turbo V8. It develops a whopping 577bhp and 760Nm of torque, which sees the 2.3 tonne SUV reach 62mph from a still start in 4.2 seconds. The top speed is 174mph.

Design

A steeply raked windscreen allows for an elegant design to the front of this model, with unique front doors and a sloping roofline; the sharp bumper designs really add to the distinctive look of the car. There’s also plenty of legroom and boot space, more even than he seven-seat X5. The swoopy new model makes its big screen debut in the film, rivalling the new BMW X6. It’s on sale now, starting from £60,680.

What kind of car is right for you?

Are you looking at buying a new car or upgrading your current one? With so many different options available on the market from numerous brands, selecting the car that’s right for you might seem like a daunting task. It’s important to consider several factors and your own personal needs before deciding on the type of car that you will go with.

For example, you will need to know how many passengers you expect to ride with you. Will your car just be for your own personal usage, a small family or larger groups of people? To help you decide on what car is best for you, we have compiled a handy list of some of the options out there.

Coupe- This car type features two doors and is perfect for drivers who want to make a statement. They’re sleek and are real head-turners, the coupe is synonymous with fast cars. The only drawback is that passenger and storage space is unusually almost non-existent so you should only consider coupes is you don’t need the extra room.

Sedan- The quintessential family car, the sedan is a favourite for drivers looking to ferry passengers in comfort. Suitable for small families, sedans are usually packed with great safety features while maintaining practicality and a certain degree of style. While sedans don’t pack the raw power of its sleeker cousins, they certainly make for comfortable and reliable rides.

Hatchback- Hatchbacks are also another great alternative for families who are unwilling to spring for a full-sized sedan. Aimed at the younger crowd, the hatchback blends sportiness with practicality due to its larger than average boot space, allowing you the luxury of storage without compromising on style or functionality. Some hatchbacks even let you fold the rear seats to make more room for your stuff, which makes it an ideal car for shopping or a strip to the grocery store.

Minivan- a minivan or a multi-purpose vehicle, compared to a normal sedan, is a better fit for those who have larger families or need to transport several people at the same time. To give you an idea, this vehicle can easily accommodate 6-8 passengers. With a minivan, people riding with you can sit comfortably and still have enough room for their stuff. However, minivans can look rather boring compared to SUV’s.

SUV- A sports utility vehicle is another great option if you would like a car with more leg room. Not only that, this car type comes in more stylish package compared to an MPV. SUV’s are great for families that love the outdoors and regularly go on road trips, as they’re both comfortable, versatile and are able to carry a lot of luggage and people at the same time.
