If you look at the front, you immediately notice that the new generation of GLE-Class has taken an identity of the current GLS-Class! The front grill, the hood lines and the overall feel - all points to the current GLS.  Which personally, I think is a big plus, because right away you can see the Mercedes-Benz SUV unmistakably! When I saw the previous spy shots... I was afraid that Mercedes designers will radically transform the look of this mid-size Utility vehicle, but thankfully it actually looks more like a family now.

If you look from the side, you will not notice much changes from the previous 2019 GLE-Class, however the new 2020 unit is a little longer and has much more of the interior space. The wheelbase of 117.9" inches of the new model has been increased by 3.15" inches (80mm) compare to previous model. That's huge! Also there is noticeable increase in legroom and headroom in the 2nd and 3rd rows. When I say: "previous 2019 model", I mean 2018 - since 2019 model hasn't even been released yet! 2019 models will have a very short run and you can watch our 2019 GLE-Class Review here.

Headlights are completely redesigned and have this new kind of aggressive stare, similar to the new CLS and GT 4-Door Sedan models. If you look from the rear and compare to the current GLE, you can see that 2020 model is much lighter, simpler and I would say it looks a little sportier.

However if you get the new GLE with the AMG Sport Styling, this car will look drastically different. The front Diamond block grille combined with much more aggressive bumpers, large wheels and the AMG-style lower body work, definitely gives you a different feel altogether. AMG sport styling is more unique, limited and looks a lot sportier. It's just looks like something else!

By the way, GLE has been known to offer one of the best aerodynamics characteristics, and the new figures are even more outstanding: the new model improved the Coefficient of Drag to the lowest in its class down to 0.29 from the previous of 0.31.

Now, let's take a look at the interior design.

The interior of 2020 GLE has really major improvements! Just the interior alone, will probably make a lot of you want to replace your current model for this new one. The new multifunction steering wheel gives you the easy controls and finger tips touch-sensors. The new MBUX multimedia system is not even called multimedia anymore! MBUX stands for Mercedes-Benz User Experience - and what an experience it is!

High resolution wide screen is housing 2 colossal 12.3" inches wide screens side by side, featuring the artsy graphics. Optional MBUX Assistant can actually anticipate your intentions and behaviors. For example it can turn on and off buttons, before you even physically reach them. It has an Artificial Intelligence (AI) on it's own - That's how insane this system is!

MBUX should become a serious competitor to Google's Android Auto and Apple Carplay. And as far as I understand, this User Experience (UX) is a lot more technologically advanced. Have you ever had a dream to own an intelligent robot? Here is your chance to own one! The intelligent Voice Control comes with the Natural Language Understanding! The Voice is overly polite, does not scream, doesn't swear (which is a big plus!) and can sing like a bird... well, I'm not sure about the singing part...

As you normally engage Apple Carplay by saying: "Hey Siri" or Android Auto by saying: "Ok Google", you'll engage MBUX system by simply saying: "Hey Mercedes." The scope of the MBUX multimedia system is so large, that I will be making the completely separate tutorial just about MBUX alone. Consider subscribing to my MBZ Master channel to stay updated here.

The additional space inside the new 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE added just enough space to squeeze the 3rd row seat, which was something a lot of you were asking for a long time. It's not as comfy as GLS-Class 3rd row, but it will serve its purpose if the need arises. Especially it's great for kids, - just make sure not to put your wife... or your girlfriend... or especially both of them over there, because it's not going to end very well!

The 3rd row is optional and can be ordered with full electrical fold - similar to the current GLS-Class. The 2nd row seat can be ordered with the full 6-way electrical adjustments, and as far as I know it is the only SUV with that feature - in the entire market. On top of it, the second row can be equipped with an EASY-ENTRY option like...
