This newly-launched vehicle goes for an introductory retail price of P5,790,000.
The GLE 400 e makes an immediate impression with its AMG Line exterior, highlighted by the diamond grille with Mercedes-Benz pattern in chrome. Enhancing its athletic stance are 21-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels.. Meanwhile, the MULTIBEAM LED headlamps provide exceptional illumination, adapting intelligently to every driving situation for maximum visibility and safety.

For added convenience, the SUV is equipped with electrically adjustable front and rear seats, with memory function for the driver and front passenger. The Transparent Bonnet feature provides confidence when navigating uneven terrains, while Active Parking Assist and the 360-Degree Camera ensure ease and precision in the tightest urban spaces.
True to the Mercedes-Benz commitment to safety, the GLE 400 e is equipped with the PRE-SAFE® system, which prepares occupants in the event of an imminent collision, and Active Brake Assist.
At the heart of the GLE 400e is its plug-in hybrid technology, combining a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a powerful electric motor to deliver an impressive 252 hp and 400 Nm of torque.
