The revised GLE SUV, introduced to the global audience in February, essentially represents a facelift. This updated version features alterations such as a redesigned front bumper, modifications to the LED headlights, updated taillights, and a fresh set of alloy wheels.

The MBUX system has seen improvements, and there is also an optional off-road package on offer. On the international stage, the GLE is available with petrol, diesel, and hybrid engine choices.
The 48V integrated starter-generator (ISG) is becoming a common feature, and the Indian version of the GLE is expected to include it for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
