2027 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe: What’s New, Trims, and Features

What’s New for 2027

The headline change for the 2027 GLE Coupe is the integration of MB.OS, the Mercedes-Benz Operating System, which supports compatible over-the-air software updates and powers the fourth-generation MBUX platform.

Every model includes the MBUX Superscreen as standard, placing three 12.3-inch displays beneath a single seamless glass panel: one for the driver instrument cluster, one central touchscreen, and one dedicated passenger screen.

MB.OS supports compatible over-the-air software updates when available. Content, timing, eligibility, and functions can vary by vehicle and service availability. The MB.DRIVE driver-assistance system suite also uses 10 exterior cameras, 5 radar sensors, and 12 ultrasonic sensors to support parking and driver-assistance functions across the 2027 GLE Coupe lineup.

GUARD 360° Vehicle Protection Plus is included as an applicable Digital Extra. Digital Extras may require an eligible account, connectivity, activation, and continued service availability. DIGITAL LIGHT micro-LED headlamps with road-projection capability are available on the GLE 450 4MATIC® Coupe.

The Mercedes-AMG® GLE 53 HYBRID 4MATIC®+ Coupe is a new plug-in hybrid configuration in the lineup, combining an AMG®-enhanced inline-6 with a 135kW permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor and high-performance battery for 577 hp of combined output. The listed 0-60 mph time is 4.1 seconds.
