Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to say goodbye to 2023 by releasing an improved version of its flagship SUV. The new GLE facelift SUV is slated to enter the market on November 2, just in time for Diwali.
According to HT Auto, the updated GLE SUV will have several changes to its look, interior, and engine. When it is released, it will compete with other premium SUVs such as the Audi Q7, BMW X5, Volvo XC90, and others. Here’s an early glance at what the Mercedes GLE facelift SUV will look like.
The German carmaker has given a new appearance to one of its top-tier SUVs in its current generation. A reworked front bumper, a new single-slat grille, updated LED headlights and taillights, and new alloy wheels are among the notable changes. The public first saw the redesigned GLE SUV in February, and it is essentially a facelift version. The SUV’s general profile is remarkably similar to that of its predecessor.
