Zusammenfassung
The new Mercedes-Benz GLE, a premium sport utility vehicle (SUV) now in the 4th generation, enters the market with a remarkable drag coefficient of cD= 0.29. The paper shows the history of the drag figures from the first Mercedes-Benz ML from 1997 to the newest model. Furthermore, insights on the development steps are presented. A description of the measures on the exterior and the underbody, which lead to the best-inclass aerodynamic targets for the new off-roader, closes the paper.
