We are live at the Detroit Motor Show 2015 where we have seen the global premiere of the all new Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, Stuttgart’s answer to Munich’s BMW X6.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe’s design is heavily inspired by the Concept Coupe unveiled earlier on in 2014. With this in mind, the car features a swooping roofline which stretches back to a heavily raked rear window and a relatively tall tailgate. As for the initial 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG Coupe which is the first model from the new AMG Sport line, it is adorned with a new aggressive AMG bodykit complete with 21-inch wheels. Other models in the GLE Coupe lineup will be available with massive 20-inch and 22-inch wheels.
Under the skin the 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLE450 AMG Coupe is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine delivering an impressive 367 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. Variants previewed thus far are the Mercedes-Benz GLE350d 4Matic with 258 hp and 457 lb-ft and the GLE400 4Matic with the same twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 as the GLE450 AMG Coupe but instead pumping out 333 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque.
