What’s new in the 2023 Mercedes GLE SUV?
The 2023 Mercedes GLE is being developed specifically for Indian buyers. The GLC was recently updated and the company claims to have received a strong response for it. That said, this is the same level of strong response that the Germans are confident of getting for the GLE as well.
In the production pyramid, the GLE sits above the GLC and below the top-line GLS. The updated GLE SUV was revealed to the world in February and is basically a facelifted version. Changes on the latest version include a new bumper at the front, changes to the LED headlights, updated taillights, and a new set of alloy wheels.
The interior of the GLE gets the steering wheel taken from the S-Class. Apart from this, it can also be offered in new color options and trims. It has an upgraded MBUX system, while an optional off-road package is available.
In the global market, GLE is offered with petrol, diesel, and hybrid engine options. 48V Integrated Starter-Generator (ISG) is fast becoming a common feature and the upcoming GLE in India is sure to get it for better mileage and lower tailpipe emissions. However, what will not be available in the India-spec version is definitely the plug-in hybrid version of the GLE.
