AutoExec Summary
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE luxury SUV’s most affordable variant has received a temporary price drop with a new limited Night Edition offering more features at a reduced cost. Priced from $139,900 plus on-road costs, the GLE300d Night Edition is $7000 cheaper than the standard model. Mercedes-Benz Australia describes it as a “strictly limited” release, expecting high demand without specifying the exact quantity available. While the Night Edition is more budget-friendly than the regular GLE300d, two years ago, the base model could be purchased for around $115,000 before industry-wide price hikes. Differentiating features of the Night Edition include black 22-inch alloy wheels, black exterior trims, gloss black mirror caps, and window trims. Standard air suspension, typically a $3400 add-on, is included, though it comes with Artico synthetic leather in place of genuine leather. Powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine, the GLE300d Night Edition boasts 198kW and 550Nm, coupled with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz claims a 0-100km/h time of 6.9 seconds and a fuel consumption rate of 6.6 litres
