    Despite its heavily curved roofline and angled liftback-style tailgate, the GLE Coupé offers plenty of cabin space all round. The low-set rear seats cater to three adult passengers, with adequate leg and head room for the outer seat occupants. However, the middle seat is compromised by a narrow seat cushion and transmission tunnel. Boot space is a claimed 650 litres, although the boot of the GLE has an unusually high loading lip, making it fairly awkward to lift heavy items over. The rear bumper extends so high, in fact, that it is used to house the opening mechanism for the automatic tailgate.   

    Should I buy one? 

    Whatever your thoughts about the showy styling, there’s no ignoring the sheer presence of the GLE Coupé on the road. This could well be higher among the considerations of potential customers than any other aspect of the new Mercedes, including its engaging handling.
