Assembled in a unibody construction, the GLE’s design seamlessly integrates this steel frame with triple-layer roof pillars and multiple sources of reinforcement. This construction method ensures structural integrity while optimizing vehicle performance and fuel efficiency. The structure includes seven airbags as well, for nine-way occupant protection. This includes dual two-stage airbags and side-impact airbags in the front, a driver’s knee airbag, and side curtain airbags for both rows.
