Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced since 2015, following the M-Class naming scheme which ended in 2015. It was introduced at the New York Auto Show as a facelifted version of the third-generation model (W166). The GLE is built on a unibody platform and shares components with other Mercedes-Benz models like the GLS, positioning it between these larger and smaller SUVs in terms of size. Production moved to Vance, Alabama, USA, aligning its manufacturing strategy with the E-Class.

History & notable variants

The transition from M-Class to GLE was part of a broader rebranding effort by Mercedes-Benz to clarify their naming conventions for SUV models. The W166 generation received significant updates in 2015, including styling changes and technological enhancements, marking its shift into the GLE era.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
