Lost count with Mercedes' G cars? First, there's the old G Class.
Then the small GLA, this GLE and the GLC - which succeeds the GLK.
Also, the huge GLS. We may see a GLB, too.
This GLE Coupe fights the BMW X6, which is successful.
It's a bit longer and lower compared to the regular GLE.
Despite the roofline, there's plenty of headroom, even for tall people.
The boot? Very spacious, just a bit smaller than the GLE's - bigger than the X6's!
How is it to drive? Any dynamic? Mercedes' cars these days steer well.
The Coupe is a bit different to drive, in part due to air suspension.
In Comfort, it's comfortable. There are active stabilizers present, too.
It's really fun in Sport+ with manual shifting. Listen to that bi-turbo V6 noise!
It sounds great and is great. 520 Nm is plenty of torque.
The steering's sharp, it's almost like a light C Class! Well done.
It doesn't come cheap. There's no entry-level 4-cil as in the GLE.
There's an 350D, the 400 and the 450. Also: the AMG and the AMG S.
The latter has 585 PS, due to its amazing V8.
There's a 9-speed G-Tronic transmission, with a proper manual mode.
It starts at 88000 euros for the 350D, up to 190000 for the AMG S.
It's a solid car, drives well and feels refined. At a price!
+ Steers sharp; Fantastic V6 turbo
- Bit too soft in Comfort; Not as plug-in hybrid
