Mercedes-Benz updated its naming convention and since seen popular model designations disappear. If you were to look for a Mercedes-Benz GLE older than 2015, you wouldn't find a single example. This is because GLE replaced ML on the back of Mercedes-Benz's mid-sized SUVs. After this change, it is easy to distinguish between SUV models and the rest and gives a clear indication of the size the vehicle is.

For example, the smallest SUV offering from the German automaker is called the GLA, the next tier up is the GLB and so on until you reach the famous G-Class or rather Geländewagen. The new GLE is offered with a few engine options starting with the 300d which takes shape as a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, diesel motor. Other options include 3.0-litre petrol in the GLE 450 and 2.9-litre diesel in the GLE 400d, both in an inline 6-cylinder configuration.
