Most confusing, worst, and ever changing.

That's the worst and most worrying bit.

India’s leading luxury car brand Mercedes-Benz today launched one of the most awaited luxury SUVs – the GLE, in India today. The GLE combines the best of onroad driving with off-road performance and raises the benchmark for a luxury SUV to the next level. The launch of the GLE further cements Mercedes-Benz’s strong presence in the fastly growing luxury SUV segment in India. The SUV was launched by Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India in New Delhi. Mr. Roland Folger, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said: “The GLE is a very special product for all of us at Mercedes-Benz. The M-Class which established the luxury SUV segment in 1997 has been one of the most successful models for Mercedes-Benz globally till date, with more than 1.6 million units sold. The GLE has all the attributes to be a worthy successor and continue the success story of the best-selling M-Class. With its sporty and serene appearance, clear and sensuous design idiom combined with typical attributes of a modern off-roader; the GLE will create new segment benchmark



Dynamic character through design: The exterior design of the GLE adds dynamism and makes the SUV appear wider. Key exterior design elements comprise an upright radiator trim with centrally positioned Mercedes star and two sculpted louvres. There is an accentuated front bumper with diamond grille and typical SUV chrome-look underguard, bonnet with powerdomes and LED daytime running lamps integrated in all new full LED headlamps The strikingly sculpted front wings reinforce the sense of width of the vehicle and add even more dynamism to the SUV.

It is the world’s first 9-speed automatic transmission in the luxury segment that can be used in conjunction with longitudinally mounted engines. The 9G-TRONIC ensures a sportier, more dynamic driving thanks to more closely spaced gears and multiple downshifts. 9G-TRONIC features automatic transmission with nine forward gears and one reverse gear. It ensures comfortable, fuelefficient driving at low engine speeds. There can also be multiple downshifts for fast sprints if required. The 9G-TRONIC also weighs lesser despite two additional gears.

More V8 power for the GLE.

The GLE 500 will increase in power output from 435 to 455 hp with the 9G-Tronic, while the fuel consumption drops. The price is expected to remain the same. Deliveries may start as early as January. Info from MB Passion

 

[Wolfgang]

An updated GLE 500 4MATIC with 455 hp and 9G-Tronic is to become available to order on October 23. According to MB Passion an GLE 500 4MATIC Coupe may follow.

Its now got S-class spec motor. I wonder if the next E500, CLS500 will also improve from 408PS to 455PS.

Yes. The E 500 and CLS 500 might get the new engine from the G 500 4x4²?

 

[Merc1]

I just wonder if MBUSA is going to offer both the GLE400 (pointless) and the GLE450 (should have been here all along)?

[Rolf]

That is interesting Wolfgang, they using a low tune version of the new AMG 4.0 biturbo V8 in the G500, it makes sense then to put it in the other models to replace the 4.7 ltr V8, certainly will help to save huge costs.

 

[Wolfgang]

Mercedes-Benz Germany just published the new list for us, with GLE 400, GLE 450 AMG and GLE 500. Not sure which models MBUSA may offer, Merc1, perhaps the 450 AMG replaces the 400? These models are available to order now, and deliveries may begin in January 2016 according to MB Passion.

 

[Merc1]

It would be a little soon for them to replace the GLE400 here, but it could happen I guess. I think they're going to just offer both. The GLE400 is the luxury offering and the GLE450 the AMG Sport model, it could work I guess if there isn't a huge price difference between them. They should have done that with the C400, make it a pure luxury offering and tucked it in between the C300 and C450 AMG Sport.

based on the latest number, the e43amg(old e450) will be getting 400hp. it is safe to say that the e500 will be dying this time. v8 will be reserved for amg only with the exception of niche models like s500, g500 and a few other models
