Overview

The Mercedes-Benz GLE, formerly known as the M-Class (ML nomenclature), is a mid-size luxury SUV produced by Mercedes-Benz since 1997. The third generation of this model, designated with the V167 code, was introduced in 2015 and marked a significant shift from its predecessor, the W166 M-Class. This new iteration features an updated design language and advanced technology, aligning it more closely with Mercedes-Benz's sedan lineup, particularly the E-Class. Production moved to Vance, Alabama, USA, in 2015 as part of efforts to harmonize SUV naming conventions within the brand.

History & notable variants

The transition from M-Class to GLE was announced at the New York Auto Show in April 2015 with the unveiling of a facelifted W166 model. This change reflected Mercedes-Benz's strategy to clarify its SUV nomenclature, using 'GL' as a base for SUVs and appending letters indicating their position within the brand hierarchy (e.g., GLE aligning it with E-Class). The third generation introduced new features such as advanced driver assistance systems and improved connectivity options.
