What to Do If the 2020 New Mercedes-Benz Model Has No Spare Tire?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz 2020 new models come without a spare tire but are equipped with tire repair foam. In case of a tire failure, you can use the tire repair foam for emergency treatment and then drive to the nearest repair shop or wait for roadside assistance. Below are the details of the 2020 new Mercedes-Benz models: 1. Powertrain: The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE continues with the current powertrain options. The 2.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 190kW and a peak torque of 370N·m. The 3.0T+48V mild hybrid system produces a maximum power of 270kW and a peak torque of 500N·m, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and equipped with the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. 2. Features: The models are equipped with the Air-Breathing Cabin 3.0 system and tire repair foam but have removed the anti-theft alarm system and spare tire. The newly added GLE350 4MATIC Fashion Special Edition includes a rear comfort package based on the Fashion trim. The updated GLE350 4MATIC Luxury trim adds a rear luxury package, dashcam, and Intelligent Assist, but removes rear seat heating and multi-zone climate control.
I also encountered this issue when driving my Mercedes. Many 2020 models have eliminated spare tires to reduce weight and increase space. My car came with an emergency repair kit containing an air pump and tire sealant. Last week when I had a flat, I just pumped in air and sealant for a temporary fix, then drove to the shop for proper repair. I recommend learning to use this kit - check tire pressure and wear monthly, especially before long trips. In emergencies, pull over to a safe area first. For serious cases, call roadside assistance or your insurance's towing service. Long-term, switching to run-flat tires is more worry-free.
