Nasser Bin Khaled (NBK) Automobiles presents the Mercedes-Benz GLE, which is “distinguished by its dynamism and assertiveness”, at the NBK Automobiles Mercedes-Benz showroom on Salwa Road.
“It encapsulates a distinctive view of the world. Its confident stature, refined lines with high beltline and powerfully-styled wheel arches are designed to appeal to leaders rather than followers - inspired by those who embark on a new journey every day,” NBK Automobiles, the authorised general distributor of Mercedes-Benz in Qatar, has said in a statement.
“Imposing proportions and forceful, confident styling make the GLE a striking addition to the Mercedes-Benz lineup. The GLE features striking proportions and dramatic body style, ensuring the imposing nature of the GLE lives on. The front section is particularly eye-catching with its dramatic air intakes, twin-louvre grille and wraparound full LED headlamps. Power domes on the bonnet further emphasises the car’s dynamic, purposeful character. More radiance. More depth. Even more elegance and value appeal,” the statement describes.
“Supreme comfort abounds in the interior of the GLE, which affords a generous feeling of space with its high-quality appointments and materials. And wherever the trip may take you, the GLE keeps you in touch with an even wider world,” it continues. “The elegance of the GLE is reflected in every last detail. From soft Nappa leather to the warm grain of the fine wood trim. Aesthetically pleasing and intelligently thought-out spaciousness. Thanks to variable seats, you can use the rear space as you please.”
With 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive and the optional Off-Road Engineering package, one can be sure of optimum performance in any terrain. “The variable vehicle body level and the ‘Offroad+’ mode are just two of its greatest strengths. Your benefit: the best possible traction at all times,” the statement notes.
Depending on the model, up to six DYNAMIC SELECT modes can be called up using the controller on the centre console. ‘Comfort’ mode allows particularly balanced and efficient driving. In conjunction with the AIRMATIC package, ‘Sport’ mode offers a more agile and dynamic configuration of the suspension. ‘Individual’ mode allows the driver to vary individual settings to suit their taste.
Power, refinement and efficiency – the GLE 450 4MATIC with an output of 27 kW (367hp) and a torque of 500Nm masters all three disciplines. To further reduce both fuel consumption and emissions, the engines are equipped with ECO technology packages, comprising measures that lower friction and flow losses, reduce component weights and improve on-demand system control. 
Engineered for smoother, more efficient performance, the 7-speed automatic transmission features an electronic selector and sporty paddle shifters, allowing complete control of gear changes without taking a hand from the leather-wrapped steering wheel.
If a gust of wind comes from the side, Crosswind Assist can apply the brakes to keep the vehicle safely on track. The DYNAMIC SELECT controller allows perfect adjustment of the handling characteristics to suit the current terrain: with ‘Offroad’ for sand and light terrain or ‘Offroad+’ for difficult terrain.
The Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC makes it easier to find a parking space and also to enter or leave parking spaces. The 360° camera included in the optional parking package provides one with a realistic all-round view thanks to the interaction of four cameras.
“The intuitively controlled touchpad with multi-touch sensor system connects you to everyone. It recognises simple gestures, your handwriting and even letters and numbers. Ideal for using the MBUX multimedia system control and display system to easily control navigation, telephone, audio, video, Internet and many other functions while on the move,” the statement says.
“Thanks to its high sitting position typical of an off-roader, the GLE offers you the very best in comfort the moment you get in. It also comes with electrically adjustable front seats fitted as standard, providing optimum support and excellent comfort on long journeys,” it adds.
The EASY-PACK tailgate can be opened and closed at the touch of a button for more convenient loading and unloading of the boot. Likewise, available as an option is the boot tub, which is made to measure for the load compartment floor and has a slightly raised edge, thus protecting the luggage compartment from dirt or spillages.
