Overview
- Mercedes detailed a second 2026 facelift for the GLE and GLS that makes the three‑screen MBUX Superscreen and the new MB.OS with an AI voice assistant standard.
- The GLE keeps a plug‑in option with the 450e 4Matic rated for about 106 kilometers of electric driving, while the diesel plug‑in is dropped and the GLS gets no plug‑in.
- The AMG GLE 53 gains a revised 3.0‑liter inline‑six with 330 kW, offered as a 48‑volt mild hybrid or a 400‑volt plug‑in that can hit 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and supports optional 60 kW DC charging.
- A new E‑Active Body Control system samples conditions 1,000 times a second and uses cloud data to tune the air suspension and dampers before the wheels meet a bump.
- Rear passengers in the GLS get two 11.6‑inch screens and an upgraded 710‑watt Burmester audio system with Dolby Atmos.
