Mercedes GLE 450 AMG Coupe launch on 12th January

Mercedes-Benz will commence 2016 with the launch of its new sports coupe, the GLE 450 AMG Coupe. This year Mercedes-Benz launched 15 products, some new while the others were refreshes. The new generation GLE-Class has been launched in India and this will be a different body style.

The new GLE Coupe will rival the BMW X6, and this will be the first product for India that will be getting the new three-digit AMG badging. The GLE 450 AMG has a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine that churns about 367bhp and 520Nm. This will come mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The new AMG sports models display impressive product substance and honour the promise of sports performance with a higher output class, standard all-wheel drive and also sophisticated chassis solutions. The variable dynamic control system assigns fundamentally different characteristics to the five transmission modes of INDIVIDUAL, COMFORT, SLIPPERY, SPORT and SPORT+, which the driver is able to select using a rotary control on the centre console. The system networks all the control systems, generating different sets of parameters. The names speak for themselves: SPORT and SPORT+ turn the GLE 450 AMG into a sporty, dynamic vehicle with pronounced longitudinal and lateral dynamics.

The DYNAMIC SELECT dynamic handling control system, the EASY-PACK tailgate with power  opening and closing, and the reversing camera with dynamic guide lines in the display are standard features. Additional active handling safety is provided by ESP^® Curve Dynamic Assist and Crosswind Assist, as well as COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS. The GLS Coupé is also equipped as standard with the brake system BAS Plus, optionally available with Cross-Traffic Assist.
