BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Mercedes-Benz is putting the finishing touches on the next-generation GLE-Class midsize luxury crossover SUV. We’ve seen it in spy shots several times now, and it’s not coming a moment too soon, since the current model has been around since 2011. And before it debuts as the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, we were given the opportunity to get a sneak peak at the car and experience some of its fancy new driving technology.
Except we wouldn’t be able to drive it. We were only going for rides. On top of that, Mercedes was only going to tell us about two key features, the newly available «Magic Body Control» hydraulic suspension adapted from the S-Class, which is the first use of the system in a Mercedes SUV, and the new four-wheel-drive system.
This situation was a bit annoying at first. After all, there’s only so much you can tell from riding in a vehicle, and you really must drive one to get a true feel for it. This feeling persisted upon arriving in Alabama and riding down to Barber Motorsports Park where we found the test vehicles, GLE 450 models, wrapped in black-and-white vinyl in the shade of the trees surrounding the off-road trails. Fortunately, things got more interesting as the rides began and the engineers began to explain the capabilities of the SUV.
