Mercedes-Benz has declared that on January 31, 2024, it will launch the updated GLA and GLE Coupe in India. Mercedes has revealed the launch date and a few details about what to look for. The redesigned GLA and GLE Coupe will be introduced at the New Delhi event, which will also be the first new models from the German luxury brand for the year.
What to expect from the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLA facelift?
Much of the design changes for the GLA facelift will be visible at the nose, according to the initial appearance in May 2023. The wheel arches, which were previously covered in black plastic on the departing car, have been painted the same color as the car's exterior, and there is LED lighting throughout. The updated MBUX infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, interior ambient lighting, and minimal cabin changes are included in the GLA facelift.
It is expected that the current 163 horsepower 1.3-liter turbo-petrol and 190 horsepower 2.0-liter diesel engines will remain in place. Anticipate GLA facelift costs between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 49 lakh, ex-showroom, India. Although it's unclear now, the performance-focused GLA 35 4Matic with the AMG badge will probably follow later.
What to expect from the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe facelift?
About eleven months ago, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the updated GLE Coupe, and at the start of November 2023, its regular SUV sibling made its debut in India. The front ends of the GLE and GLE Coupe share almost the same design, but the SUV coupe's swooping roofline is more noticeable from the side and back. The GLE Coupe for India, like the model before the facelift, will only be offered in hardcore AMG configuration under the 53 designation.
This indicates that a 3.0-liter turbo-petrol engine producing 435 horsepower is anticipated, along with a 22-horsepower 48-volt mild hybrid assist. Additionally anticipated to stay are the 9-speed automatic and 4Matic AWD systems, suggesting that the 5.3-second 0-to-100-kph time of the pre-facelift model is also probably going to stay the same. The ex-showroom price of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe 4Matic+ is anticipated to be approximately Rs 1.3 crore in India. Read more about Mercedes Cars.
