2027 GLE prototype early look




Well it's getting closer to what we have been figuring the changes will be. Physical volume wheel and cruise control speed are back on the steering wheel, new lights outside, and the hyper screen or whatever they call it looks like it would be available . It's not clear to me if this is the inline 6 or the V8 but the sound in the video is remarkable if it is the inline 6 - they must have done some big changes to the exhaust system. I'm leaning to the prototype being a 580 since it has E-Active Body Control and I'm guessing that might only be available on the higher trim like the 580 . Who knows I'm just guessing at this point, but at least it's something for us to watch and look forward to.

The 450 *should* get the M256 EVO and let's hope the 63 gets the M177 EVO in tuned form.
I hope the 2027 GLE63 DOG shows the big list of Manufaktur exterior paint choices like the S-class has now. I may break from my pearl white habit when I order.

I believe the M256 EVO is the same tune as the one that will be used in the upcoming AMG 53 range. The AMG GLC 53 was just announced with the same 442 horsepower specs.
