The base engine mentioned in the table above powers the base GLE 350 trim. The GLE 350 4MATIC trim gets the 4MATIC fully variable all-wheel-drive system. On the other hand, the GLE 450 4MATIC trim is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder turbocharged engine with a mild-hybrid drive system. The gasoline engine puts out 362 horsepower and 369 foot-pounds of torque. The integrated Starter-Generator supplies an additional 21 horsepower and allows gas-free coasting while also recapturing energy during deceleration. Both the powertrains are potent and peppy, offering enough power for you to drive delectably on both city streets and freeways.
The interior of the 2022 GLE-Class is pure luxury. The spacious cabin ensures ample space for all the occupants. All the trims get MB-Tex upholstery which offers impressive comfort. But if you want to increase the plushness, you can opt for either leather, Black MB-Tex/microfiber, Nappa Leather, or Black Exclusive Nappa Leather upholstery based on your requirements. Standard models get heated front seats as standard. However, you can upgrade it to ventilated front seats and heated front armrests and upper door panels, heated steering wheel, heated and cooled front cupholders, and heated second-row seats as well. The infotainment system works like a charm and comes loaded with a plethora of standard and optional features.
