    2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE Revealed With Lots Of Tech

    Take one quick look at the shots of the new GLE and you will easily see the differences between it and the outgoing model.

    At the front, Mercedes-Benz has incorporated a set of more appealing headlights as well as a redesigned grille and faux air intakes. Elsewhere, new wheels have been designed while an evocative C-pillar helps to transform the vehicle’s rear half. Completing the design are slim taillights similar to what you get on the new A-Class.

    The German manufacturer worked hard on the interior and the improvements start with a wheelbase extension by 80 mm, allowing for an additional 69 mm of legroom in the second row and an additional 33 mm of headroom.

    Just like the new A-Class the new GLE comes with the latest-generation of MBUX, the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system that consists of two large 12.3-inch screens as standard.

    Under the hood sits the in-line six-cylinder engine, displacing 3.0-litre’s which will be the GLE 450 4MATIC. This is the only option initially sold but some diesel models and a plug-in hybrid are just around the corner.

    As we expected, the GLE 450 4MATIC pairs its 3.0-litre six-cylinder with 48-volt technology and delivers 367 hp (274 kW) and 500 Nm of torque. The EQ Boost function adds an extra 22 hp (16 kW) and 250 Nm for short bursts of additional grunt.

    This unit is connected to the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission that incorporates a transfer case with an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch. This will allow for a variable transfer of torque between the axles, a feature which will be especially useful during off-roading.

    The new GLE has also been kitted with the latest and greatest in driving assistance but the stand out feature is the use of the 48-volt system to control a newly-developed air suspension. Spring and damping forces can be individually controlled at each wheel thus reducing body roll, pitching, and squat.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
