after years of prototype testing. Back then, the GLE had a mid-sized body frame that could fit five or
seven with an optional third-row seat. The GLE was called the M-Class and featured electronic
stability control, the system to determine or detect any loss of control. The M Class also had airbags
fitted back then.
