The new Mercedes GLE Coupe is now available to order in the UK, with two models available from launch: the diesel GLE 400 d and the hybrid AMG GLE 53.
Prices for the new German SUV Coupe start from £72,530 for the GLE 400 d 4Matic AMG Line Premium Plus and from £80,615 for the AMG GLE 4Matic+. First deliveries are expected to begin next summer.
The diesel variant of the BMW X6 arch rival is powered by a 3.0-liter straight-six producing 325 HP (330 PS) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The 4Matic all-wheel drive is of course standard, as is Mercedes’ 9G-Tronic automatic transmission. 0-62 mph (100 km/h) comes in 5.7 seconds, with the top speed electronically limited to 149 mph (240 km/h).
