The new Mercedes GLE 350 de in the test at CPA

Mercedes GLE-Class (V167) GLE350de 4MATIC Chiptuning

So-called plug-in hybrids are the cars of the hour. The combination of the range of a combustion engine in combination with an electric motor that is charged at the socket seems to be a good combination. The four-cylinder diesel offers 194 hp and 400 Nm. The electric motor then delivers another 136 hp and 440 Nm. On the positive side, the volume of the trunk is only reduced by 140 liters. Mercedes was also able to solve the issue with the towing capacity and is now at a top value of 3.5 tonnes. The additional weight due to the E-Machine is 400 kilograms and is not without. That's why CPA has developed an individualized performance upgrade for the 350 de, almost 50 hp and almost 100 Nm compensate for much of the 400 kilograms. The driving values in various driving situations are just as convincing as the handling. The GLE Coupé shows that it is in the luxury segment in its high-quality equipment.
