The cabin flaunts Nappa leather upholstery and Anthracite openpore oak wooden trims. The GLE Night Edition also gets an AIRMATIC suspension, which adds an air-suspended ride quality that distinguishes it from the standard model.
The Night Edition models retain their respective powertrains. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is available with a 2-litre, in-line 4-cylinder diesel engine and a 3-litre in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine. The former generates a maximum power output of 270hp and 550Nm torque, while the latter puts out 380hp and 500Nm. The Mercedes-Benz GLS gets the same petrol engine. However, its 3-litre, in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine generates an improved output of 367hp and 750Nm. All engines are mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox and come with a 4MATIC (AWD) configuration.
Santosh Iyer, Managing Director & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India, said, “Continuous product innovation for customers through new products, their facelifts, and exclusive editions has been core to Mercedes-Benz’s successful product strategy in India; consistently elevating the brand’s desirability. GLE and GLS are undisputed segment leaders in the luxury SUV category in India, elevating India into MercedesBenz’s top global markets for these SUVs. The introduction of the ‘Night Edition’ with bespoke design, curated interiors, exclusive appointments and a sharper focus on personalization, makes the SUVs highly exclusive and unmatched in appeal. As our discerning customers increasingly seek vehicles that reflect their individuality, the GLE and GLS ‘Night Edition’ sets a new standard in differentiated luxury, reinforcing Mercedes-Benz’s leadership in top-end luxury SUV space.”
