The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE looks sleeker and rounder than its predecessor, which is no bad thing as it now resembles the more luxurious 2020 GLS. Mercedes has retained traditional design elements like the twin-slat grille, twin eye-brow DRLs and the sleek LED tail lamps.
Inside, the 2020 GLE gets a revamped and well-appointed cabin. It comes with Mercedes’ familiar twin-screen setup that consists of a digital driver’s display and the brilliant MBUX infotainment system. Below it sits a wooden panel that houses four rectangular AC vents. The lower console comes with individual grab rails and a track pad to control the infotainment system.
