According to reports, Mercedes Benz will launch the 2015 Mercedes Benz AMG GT in India in November.

“This gives us a strong competitive advantage, resulting in our SUV segment to grow the fastest in the entire portfolio, by 70% in the January-September period”, said Folger.

The Mercedes GLE is locally assembled at Mercedes Benz’s plant in Chakan, Pune.

Mercedes-Benz has a hot rod AMG version of almost every model it makes, but it’s also beginning to populate its lineup with lighter AMG Sport variants.

The exterior of the SUV features upright radiator trim with centrally positioned Mercedes star and two sculpted louvres. It will add to our brand’s winning SUV portfolio. “We hope that GLE will create a new benchmark in India”. The carefully selected materials and workmanship are highlight of the GLE’s interiors and spell high-quality appeal. Power is sent to all four wheels through the world’s first 9-speed automatic gearbox. The 9G-TRONIC ensures a sportier, more dynamic driving thanks to more closely spaced gears and multiple downshifts. The 9G-Tronic features the AT with nine forward gears and one reverse gear. The damping system adjusts to the chosen driving mode and the suspension system ensures constant vehicle level irrespective of loading and automatically adjusts ground clearance at high speeds. The GLE also comes with 6 airbags for driver and passenger protection.

The GLE-Class will be available with a choice of six colours. The GLE 350 d 4MATIC on the other hand is powered by a 3.0-litre, V6 motor that generates 258.3PS of power and 620 Nm of peak torque. The first one to be used is a 2.9-liter diesel engine that is capable of producing 313 HP of power.
