Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe to be Launched in India on January 12

Mercedes is not finished with its product lineup for India, even after successfully culminating its 15 launches for 2015 India portfolio. Mercedes-Benz has slated another offering which will soon join the German automaker's family of cars in India, the GLE Coupe. The carmaker will soon announce its record breaking sales for the year of 2015 and will be launching its SUV coupe on January 12, 2016. GLE is the renamed ML-Class and will rival the likes of BMW X6 SUV coupe. The car will come to India as a CBU import from the company’s Tuscaloosa factory in America.

The SUV coupe will be powered by a 3.0-liter bi-turbo V6 petrol motor, which has been further enhanced by the AMG boffins. The powerplant is capable of producing 362 PS of power and 520Nm of peak torque. In comparison with BMW X6’s 630Nm of torque, the Merc’s upcoming offering is blown out of the water and what remains to be seen is the tri-star brand will be able to compensate for its lack of torque with an extra 49PS of power.

The engine will come mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission and will feature an all-wheel drive type, courtesy of Merc’s 4MATIC system.
