2020 Mercedes AMG GLE 53 4MATIC + - detailed description of interior exterior design

The new GLE 53 4MATIC + is equipped with the AMG Performance 4MATIC + fully variable all-wheel drive for maximum traction and dynamism.

The intelligent steering variably connects the permanently driven rear axle with the front axle and continuously calculates the optimum torque distribution depending on the driving situation and the driver's wishes. Four-wheel drive improves longitudinal dynamics, traction and lateral dynamics. The result: stronger acceleration for standing and short sprints.

Total stabilization: AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension

The AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension, developed in Affalterbach, forms the basis of the driving experience characterized by high agility, neutral cornering behavior and optimum traction, based on the AMG RIDE CONTROL + air suspension. A new feature makes a significant contribution to the AMG-specific adjustment for high driving dynamics levels: active cylinder stabilization and fully variable torque distribution with two electro-mechanical actuators operating independently on the front and rear axle.

The system not only reduces rolling movements while cornering, but also provides more precise adjustment of cornering and load changing. In addition, it improves driving comfort when driving straight, because the exciters are counterbalanced, for example, against unilateral road crashes. The movements in the body can be activated and optimally adjusted according to the driving conditions. This means that the form of driving characteristics associated with AMG-specific dynamism, precision and response can be experienced more intensively by the driver.

A further advantage compared to usual hydraulic-based systems is a significantly faster response. The AMG control can adapt the driving status up to 1000 times per second. The sampling rate is thus only one-thousandth of a second. The components also have low weight compared to normal solutions.

Especially long breathing: continuously adjustable damping air suspension

The AMG RIDE CONTROL +, especially the sporty spring / damper adjustment and suspension adjustable damping air suspension ADS + (Adaptive Damping System) combine outstanding driving dynamics with outstanding driving comfort. Damping features can be selected in three modes: "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sport +"; this provides a distinctly distinctive distinction between excellent long distance comfort and sporty driving dynamics. Also, there are two new levels for land use - "Trail" and "Sand"
