Different generations of used Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class
Second Generation (2019 to Present)
The second-generation GLE was completely redone from the ground up, the first full redesign since it received its new name. It featured the latest Mercedes-Benz styling to fit in better with the rest of the lineup. With its release, the GLE had LED daytime running lights shaped like two arrows within the headlights, a grille with satin-chrome slats and the company badge. A GLE Coupé model was also released in 2020 with a sleeker, sloped roof.
A 2023 facelift offers high-performance LED headlights with blocks for the daytime running lights and multibeam LED tech. Inside the cabin, two wider screens were also installed, sharing the same piece of glass.
