India’s largest luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz today strengthened its SUV offering by adding two new top-end variants to its popular GLE portfolio. The newly launched top-end GLE 450 4MATIC LWB and 400 d 4MATIC LWB further diversify the model line-up of the GLE by adding a petrol and a top-end diesel variant. The current LWB GLE range comprises the BS VI GLE 300 d 4MATIC LWB and the top-end CBU GLE 400 d 4MATIC LWB Hip Hop variants.

The GLE 450 4MATIC LWB and 400 d 4MATIC LWB features the same iconic design, exuding presence and power, plush interiors, just like the other variants in the current generation GLE range. It comes packed with the latest technology, including the cutting- edge Mercedes-Benz MBUX system with interior assistant. The permanent 4MATIC all- wheel drive with variable torque distribution capability together with 9G-TRONIC transmission will ensure it is just as agile and capable an off-roader as its diesel siblings.

Martin Schwenk, MD & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India said, “The New long wheelbase GLE has already created a benchmark in the luxury SUV segment and we are very satisfied with the customer response. Encouraged by this response we are now introducing a petrol and a diesel variant of the GLE LWB. The locally made LWB GLE 450 4MATIC and the 400 d 4MATIC thus make important additions to our GLE SUV range and will further attract customers who seek comfort, luxury and off-roading prowess in their SUV. We are confident that the GLE 450 4MATIC and the 400 d 4MATIC will help this SUV retain its top billing in the luxury SUV segment.”

“The GLE LWB is an important pillar in our expansive SUV portfolio, leading our product offensive in the SUV segment and it remains Mercedes-Benz’s highest selling SUV in India. With the addition of these two new variants, we once again reiterate our customer focus and our commitment to the Indian market.” added Mr. Schwenk.
