All-new Mercedes GLE gets diesel powertrain

KUALA LUMPUR: Mercedes unveiled the all-new GLE in September, earlier this year. However, back then the GLE was presented with a single powertrain which was a turbocharged mild-hybrid inline-six. The variant was called GLE 450 and had a maximum power of 362 PS and a peak torque of 500 Nm in its arsenal. Mercedes now has introduced two diesel variants namely GLE 350 d and GLE 400 d.

Both the GLE 350 d and the GLE 400 d house a 3.0-litre turbo-diesel inline-six engine. However, the power figures differ in the two models. The GLE 350 d gets 272 PS and 600 Nm out of the inline-6, whereas the GLE 400 d receives 330 PS and a 700 Nm from the same mill. The two new diesel variants also feature the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system and a 9-speed automatic transmission as seen on the gas-fed GLE 450.

The new diesel variants offer a fuel economy of up to 17 km per litre. If we talk about speed, the GLE 350 d and the GLE 400 d can do a 0-100 kmph run in 6.9 seconds and 5.8 seconds, respectively. The top speeds of the two do not differ by too much, the GLE 350 d can reach up to 230 kmph and the GLE 400 d can take you to 240 kmph if you have got a stretch long enough.
