Mercedes GLE Coupe 2015 - pictures

With a heavily sculpted front end and a rakish profile, the GLE Coupé makes a statement.

There’s no disguising GLE Coupé’s vast size; it has a huge footprint.

Interior looks familiar, and GLE is relaxed.

Refinement is strong, even on our car’s big wheels, and diesel delivers lots of muscle.

All GLE Coupés come fitted with Mercedes’ Airmatic adaptive suspension. The hefty starting price also brings leather trim, sat-nav and heated seats as standard.

Performance: 0-62mph/top speed - 7.0 seconds/140mph

AMG trim gets an extra Sport + mode for the Dynamic Select system, to give an even sportier drive.

Running costs: 39.2mpg (official) - £107 fill-up

Boot is cavernous, offering a 650-litre capacity with rear seats up. A standard power tailgate aids practicality, but tapered rear and tiny back window mean poor visibility.
