Mercedes-Benz GLE: Difference between revisions

 

Mercedes-Benz revised and updated the W163 in 2001 for the 2002 model year. Styling updates involved the fitment of new head- and tail-lamp lenses, front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheels on most variants, the relocation of the side turn signals from the fenders to the side-view mirrors, and various interior trim changes. At the same time, the ML 430 was replaced by the 5.0-litre V8-powered ML 500 and a new 4.0-litre V8 turbodiesel ML 400 CDI became available in Europe. The following year, in 2002, Mercedes-Benz launched the ML 350 fitted with a 3.7-litre V6 engine. The ML 350 replaced the ML 320 in some markets, but supplemented it in others.

 

The previous [[Popemobile]] was based on a W163 series ML 430 and has been in service since July 2002.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://media.daimler.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko.xhtml?oid=9905841&relId=60822&resultInfoTypeId=40627&ls=L2VuL2luc3RhbmNlL2tvLnhodG1sP3JlbElkPTYwODE4JnJlc3VsdEluZm9UeXBlSWQ9NDA2MzAmb2lkPTkyNjU4MzUmZnJvbU9pZD05MjY1ODM1JmJvcmRlcnM9dHJ1ZSZ2aWV3VHlwZT1saXN0JnNvcnREZWZpbml0aW9uPVBVQkxJU0hFRF9BVC0yJnRodW1iU2NhbGVJbmRleD0wJnJvd0NvdW50c0luZGV4PTU!&rs=11#toRelation |title=Daimler Global Media Site > Classic > Mercedes-Benz Cars > Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars |date=7 June 2005 |publisher=daimler.com |access-date=23 June 2019}}</ref> [[Volkswagen]] had offered to build a new vehicle based on the [[Volkswagen Touareg|Touareg]], but [[Pope Benedict XVI]] opted to continue using his predecessor's Mercedes-Benz-manufactured vehicle.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=106369 |title=2005-07-08 Pontiff Withholds Blessing From VW's Proposed Popemobile |publisher=Edmunds.com |access-date=1 October 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090707083652/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId%3D106369 |archive-date=7 July 2009 }}</ref>{{clear}}
