Well known, comedian Krushna Abhishek has bought a new Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV. It is the previous generation of GLE and is finished in black colour. The images of the new SUV were shared on Instagram by Arti Singh, who is a Big Boss finalist and Krushna Abhishek’s sister.

The GLE slots between the GLC and the GLS SUVs of Mercedes-Benz. It goes against Volvo XC90, Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Land Rover Discovery. The SUV was offered with two diesel engines as well as a petrol engine. The 250d variant came with a 2.1-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine that produced 204 bhp of max power and 500 Nm of peak torque. The 350d variant used a 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine that produced 258 bhp of max power and 620 Nm of peak torque. Then there was the 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine that produced 333 bhp of max power and 480 Nm of peak torque. All the engines were mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
Now, Mercedes Benz has updated and launched a facelift of the GLE. Because of this it now looks much more modern and falls in line with the rest of the design of Mercedes-Benz models. It is priced between Rs. 84.24 lakhs ex-showroom and Rs. 1.25 Crores. It is offered in four variants, there is 300 d, 400 d, 450, and 400 d Hip Hop Edition.

Then we have the 450 that is powered by a 3.0-litre petrol engine which is capable of producing 367 PS and 500 Nm. All the engines come mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox that transfers the power to all four wheels using Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system.
