The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe has been papped out and about again – we usually put on more layers in the cold, but the vehicle is undergoing winter testing here with barely a stitch on, exposing its curvaceous side profile and parabolic roofline for all to see.
For those of you in the dark, the GLE Coupe is essentially Stuttgart’s upcoming rival to the BMW X6. The new nomenclature has renamed the ML to GLE, since the SUV is based on the E-Class. So this is a ‘coupe’ version of the ML, if you will.
According to our Euro spies, the prototype caught on film here carries the new 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 from the Mercedes-AMG GT sports car. The engine delivers 456 hp/600 Nm in the AMG GT and 503 hp/650 Nm in the AMG GT S.
The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is expected to turn up at the Detroit show in January – we wonder if the recently-announced AMG Sport line will too. See the GLE Coupe and AMG Sport line teaser here.

How low mercedes can go, all they can do is copy 7 years old BMW.
And all the apeks who complain about the look of X6 will jumping up and down saying this car is very nice looking.
thumb down for u, its the fight for same segment not copy. Just BMW 2 series active tourer to fight with MB B-Class. So they are copying each and others???
obviously they are showing that they can make a better car using the old x6 only even if is 7 years old. see the power of designer, not those braindead designer. worst still the interior of bmw…no joke man.
BMW X4 rivalry in the making
How can coupe have 4 doors?
let the SUV Coupe fight begin!! wonder if Audi will join the party few years down the road too……
Maybe Volvo will join the party as they can give the cheapest price here
Actually they do… They have already come out with SUV based on the upcoming Audi TT… Not bad looking
can expect much cleaner and simpler design than X6, which is a good thing. but the rear of the new X6 is a killer. don’t think the new GLE Coupe can match that even.
all the face of bmw look about same~
