The GLE is long overdue a refresh and the new
generation is due for a launch later this year. And now spy shots of the new
SUV wearing minimal camouflage have been circulating the internet. According to
these shots, the GLE SUV seems to have taken an evolutionary approach to design
especially when it comes to the iconic C-Pillar design.
The rest of the SUV however, is expected to go
through a rather large makeover. From what is visible in the tail lamps, the
SUV is due to get a set of sleeker LED tail lamps with a design feature
connecting both tail lamps in the middle of the tail gate.
The C-Pillar is an
evolution of the current generation GLE with a blacked out finish giving it a
wraparound look. This feature has been a predominant one on all ML/GLE SUVs
since the very first MLs of the late 90s.
Up front, expect the GLE to get a similar styling
direction as the likes of the rencely launched CLS and A-Class. A set of
triangularish lights are expected with a large chunky grille and a bumper with
a set of large split intakes on either side. Also expect some sort of skid
plate treatment in the centre of the bumper.
On the inside though, the GLE will go through a
massive transformation from what it is right now. To begin, the car will get a
set of dual screens like the E-Class along with a centrally mounted command
system. Expect the car to continue to have a 5-seater layout for now.
