The luxury SUV is the facelifted version of the current M-class, and will replace it in the company's India line-up.

SUV will be available with a choice of two CDI engines both of which are more efficient variants of the one's found in the outgoing models; a lower spec 2.1-litre unit that makes 204PS of power and a more powerful 3.0-litre V6 that makes 258PS of power.

New GLE’s will come equipped with 9-speed automatic gearboxes rather than the 7-speed ones used previously. 

The interiors of the GLE SUV borrow  from the S-lass luxury sedan. The Mercedes GLE will rival the  the BMW X5, Volvo XC90, and the Audi Q7.

The SUV will be produced at the company's plant in Chakan, Pune.
