Mercedes-Benz has today unveiled the GLE450 AMG 4Matic. It
joins the growing range of AMG sport models that already includes the GLE450 AMG
4Matic Coupe and C450
AMG 4Matic models. The AMG sport cars sit between the most potent of
the standard Mercedes models and the dedicated Mercedes-AMG offerings. The cars
are developed by the Mercedes-AMG skunkworks but are officially recognized as
Mercedes-Benz products.
Common to the AMG sport models is a turbocharged 3.0-liter
V-6 engine that delivers 362 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque.
In the GLE450 AMG 4Matic, the engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic
transmission and spins all four wheels via a rear-biased all-wheel-drive
system. Mercedes quotes a 0-62 mph time of just 5.7 seconds and a top speed
capped at 155 mph for the vehicle.
Along with the extra poke from the engine bay over the
regular GLE fleet, the GLE450 AMG 4Matic also benefits from sport-tuning of the
suspension, steering and electronic stability control. Also unique to this
model is the shorter final drive ratio of 3.47:1. Other features include
air suspension, 20-inch wheels (21-inch wheels are available), a body kit and a
Dynamic Select system with Individual, Comfort, Slippery, Sport and Sport Plus
driving modes.

The interior of the GLE450 AMG 4Matic is enhanced by a Nappa
leather-lined sports steering wheel and real aluminum dash accents. A mix of
carbon fiber and piano black surfaces can also be found, and for the pedals the
designers have gone with stainless steel.
Some of the available extras include two-tone Nappa leather
trim, COMAND Online Internet connectivity, premium BeoSound audio from Bang
& Olufsen, and numerous electronic driver aids.
Look for the new GLE450 AMG 4Matic to make its world debut
at next month’s 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show. Another AMG sport model we’re
expecting in the not too distant future is the SLC450 AMG. The new sports car
has already been spotted in prototype form and
is expected to feature the same turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 of its AMG
sport brethren.
