In the latest round of the Euro NCAP tests, the Mercedes-Benz GLE managed to score a maximum 5-star safety rating. The 2019 GLE secured a 91 percent rating (scoring 34.9/ 38 points) in the adult occupancy test and 90 percent (scoring 44.2/ 49 points) in the child occupancy test. In addition, the new GLE also scored a 78 percent rating for both pedestrian protection (scoring 37.8/ 48 points) and safety assist technology (scoring 10.2/ 13 points).

Mercedes introduced the fourth-generation GLE internationally, late last year, and is expected to bring the SUV to our market before the end of 2019.
