Introducing the 2022 Mercedes GLE 450

Mercedes is famous for its powerful, capable drivetrains and cutting-edge technology. As you’d expect, these features extend to the handsome GLE 450, easily making it one of the top mid-size luxury SUVs available. Read on to learn more about the 2022 Mercedes GLE 450.

What to Know About the 2022 Mercedes GLE 450

Turbocharged Mild Hybrid Powertrain

Mercedes continues to look towards the future with the GLE 450’s powerful, yet efficient inline-six powerplant. Its turbocharger pushes the engine to 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 in just 5.5 seconds. The mild-hybrid system provides power assistance to the engine as it accelerates and cruises while it maximizes fuel efficiency.

All GLE 450s come standard with the famed 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system, which instantly adapts to a variety of surfaces by automatically adjusting the torque it sends to the front and rear axles. Also standard is the exceptionally smooth and quick 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. It features shift paddles for manual gear changes and multiple drive modes with the Dynamic Select system.

AIRMATIC® Suspension

Another example of Mercedes innovation, the available AIRMATIC® suspension uses air springs instead of traditional steel springs. A computer controls the air springs electronically and is capable of individually adjusting the height for all four wheels. This gives unparalleled off-road capability to the GLE 450, allowing it to power through deep sand and thick mud.

In addition to enhancing the GLE 450’s ability to get through rugged terrain, AIRMATIC® technology sharpens cornering and provides a smoother ride quality. It even makes loading easier by lowering the rear suspension while the vehicle is parked.

Styling by AMG®

AMG® is Mercedes’ iconic high-performance division and its designers are responsible for the GLE 450’s beautifully crafted exterior. The muscular styling and large vents help serve as a reminder of the vehicle’s power and agility. Chrome accenting on the grille, fender flares, and rear bumper adds another layer of sophistication.

Luxury

Like other vehicles in the Mercedes lineup, the GLE 450’s interior boasts genuine, top-quality materials with fine MB-Tex upholstery and wood trim. The cabin features a wealth of standard equipment like heated front seats, power sunroof, power liftgate, and dual-zone climate control.

You’ll be able to enjoy eight different types of massages with the available multicontour front seats and cool down with the optional ventilated front seats. The available Acoustic Comfort Package makes the cabin cozier by using materials that absorb heat and sound, including infrared-absorbent lamination of the windshield and rear window.

Accessibility and Connectivity

Accessing the GLE 450 is a breeze thanks to a number of innovations. Remote Start can start the vehicle’s engine with your smartphone and lets the climate control system prepare the cabin for maximum comfort before you get in. If you need to open or close the rear door, but have your hands full, simply tap underneath the bumper with your foot and the Hands-Free Access handles the rest.

One 12.3-inch screen displays a customizable instrument panel for the driver and another screen of the same size serves as the touchscreen infotainment system, which features Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth®, and available Wi-Fi hotspot connectivity.

With stunning turbocharged performance and advanced technology, the Mercedes GLE 450 is a truly remarkable SUV. Contact Mercedes-Benz of Pleasanton today to schedule your test drive!
