ARMORED
MERCEDES-BENZ GLE
Balanced, adaptable and certified to VR9 — protection engineered for the realities of daily executive movement.
The measured choice
The GLE occupies the most useful position in the Mercedes-Benz SUV range: substantial enough for high protection levels, compact enough for daily urban movement, and adaptable between five and seven seats.
The GLE 580 4MATIC pairs a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo with mild-hybrid assistance for up to 510 hp, with fully variable all-wheel drive managing the protected mass in all conditions.
ENGINEERED AS A SINGLE STRUCTURE
Every Mercedes-Benz GLE is converted as one certified whole — ballistic materials, reinforced structure and glazing engineered together, then tested as a complete system.
Laboratory-tested ballistic steel, lightweight composite panels and multi-layered transparent armour are integrated throughout the GLE, calibrated to preserve weight balance and driving character.
Doors, pillars, roof and floor are reinforced as one continuous cell with a complete overlap system, closing every conventional line of exposure around the occupants.
Multi-layered glazing delivers exceptional optical clarity with a no-spall inner layer, so visibility and cabin appearance remain entirely undisturbed.
Adaptable by design
Few protected vehicles cover as many roles as well. The GLE moves between city, motorway and unprepared road without adjustment.
A flexible interior configuration allows the vehicle to adapt between principal transport and family use.
Fully variable torque distribution maintains traction and stability under protected weight.
Up to 510 hp with electrified assistance for smooth, responsive delivery from rest.
NAPPA LEATHER AND CONSIDERED SPACE
Sporting yet refined, the GLE cabin is finished in exclusive Nappa leather with the full Mercedes-Benz technology suite.
Premium upholstery with contrast stitching and finishes specified to the client's preference.
Five- or seven-seat configurations with sliding second row and generous protected luggage space.
Complete driver assistance and collision prevention systems operate alongside the protective conversion.
Protective systems without compromise
Every operational system available on the larger platforms can be specified on the GLE and integrated invisibly.
Reinforced run-flat inserts allow continued progress at speed after tyre damage, ensuring the vehicle can always reach a safe location.
Protected exhaust, battery, fuel system and radiator, together with locking fuel and bonnet provisions, guard the vehicle while unattended.
Discreet LED strobes, siren and public-address systems, intercom and emergency communication packages are available and invisible when not in use.
