Powering the GLE 450 is a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder petrol engine codenamed M256. The engine is aided by a mild hybrid system that houses an Integrated Starter/Generator (ISG) sandwiched between engine and transmission and engine. The mild-hybrid system or EQ Boost enhances power by 22 hp over short periods.

Drive to the front and rear axle after the (9G-tronic) nine-speed automatic transmission is intelligently split by a high-performance electronically controlled multi-disc clutch transfer case, which improves on-road handling and can call on the rear axle for additional traction when going off-road.
