The 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e is the first-ever plug-in hybrid GLE, combining a turbocharged combustion engine with an advanced electric motor, regenerative braking, DC fast charging, and Mercedes-Benz's legendary 4MATIC all-wheel drive for an electrified driving experience that never compromises on power or capability.
The GLE 450e pairs a 2.0L inline-4 turbocharged engine with a 23.3 kWh plug-in hybrid electric motor, producing a combined 381 horsepower through Mercedes-Benz's EQ Boost system. Up to nearly 50 miles of electric-only driving makes the GLE 450e an ideal choice for emission-free daily commuting.
Using a compatible 60kW DC fast charger, the GLE 450e replenishes from 10% to 80% battery in as little as 20 minutes. When a charger is not nearby, Mercedes-Benz's intelligent regenerative braking system and on-board combustion engine keep the battery charged and ready.
Mercedes-Benz's fully variable 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system continuously monitors road conditions and distributes between 0 to 100% of available power to the front or rear axle in real time, delivering confident and sure-footed handling across every road surface and season.
Inside the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450e, luxury and innovation converge to create an unrivaled cabin experience. The MBUX infotainment system anchors a driver-focused cockpit, while premium materials, standard heated seats with memory, and intelligent ambient lighting ensure every occupant travels in first-class comfort.
The MBUX-powered floating all-digital dashboard puts navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings at your fingertips. A Nappa leather-trimmed steering wheel with haptic feedback touch controls and 64-color LED ambient lighting complete a cabin experience that is unmistakably Mercedes-Benz.
Standard heated power seats with memory function ensure your preferred seating position is always set before you even buckle in. Available ventilated front seats and multicontour front seats with Mercedes-Benz's signature massage function take everyday comfort to an entirely new level.
The 2026 GLE 450e is equipped with seven airbags delivering 9-way occupant protection, Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® technology that responds to imminent collisions before they occur, and a standard 360-degree surround-view camera system that eliminates blind spots entirely.
