The redesign of the upcoming GLE crossover is ongoing. By the 2020 year model, Mercedes-Benz will present the new vehicle. However, this leads to many other updates in the lineup. Fans are immediately asking about 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and AMG version.
The first one is almost certain to happen in the first days of the new SUV. Well, at least spy photos are showing so. The German carmaker is still working on 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, as well as on the base model. Camouflage is hiding most of the redesigned body. But, the good thing is that we now have clues that the crossover is on the way.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe Redesign
As its sibling, the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe will suffer the redesign. At this moment, we don’t know the details. Some of them are hidden by heavy camo panels. Also, the test mule is still using some old parts. All in all, it is early to talk about the final product.
Whatsoever, the German company will radically change the look of the SUV. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe will keep dimensions of its predecessor. On the other hand, some additions are possible when we look at the prototypes. First of all, there is a spoiler on the back. Also, the rear window is unveiling that passengers behind front seats will have less space inside. The new GLE Coupe will be sportier, with aesthetic look and lower ride. Ground clearance is not going to be so generous, so the vehicle remains an SUV for a road ride, rather than off it.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe Drivetrains
Buyers will have a wide offer to choose from. Under the hood of the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, they can find V-6, V-8, mild-hybrid, and plug-in powertrains. The base setup probably plans to use a V-6. Nevertheless, company’s engineers could also opt for a mild-hybrid system. This one will use a V-6 as well. But, with a help from the electric battery, it will achieve better fuel economy numbers.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe Plug-In Hybrid and AMG
This is not all. The upcoming 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe will also add a few new drivetrains. As always, the most attractive version will be AMG. The most expensive model is having a special treatment all around the body. In the engine room, there will be a bigger V-8 unit. Of course, the twin-turbo system is boosting its power over 450 hp.
Last, but not the least important addition will be a plug-in hybrid. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe will present the new source of power. Although fans and enthusiasts are not so impressed with it, in Mercedes believe the electric combination can make enough power. Advantages in gas mileage rating are not necessary to mention.
2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe Release Date and Price
The all-new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe will be available for purchase late in 2019. It will come out together with its base GLE crossover. The plug-in hybrid will be the last one to appear, while the German company will launch the AMG version shortly after the base one. This is the response to the growing competition and announcements of new rivals – BMW X6, Audi Q8, and Porsche Cayenne.
