The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG Line is Now Offered in Malaysia - Price Estimated from RM633,888 onwards


Mercedes-Benz Malaysia (MBM) is now offering the 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG Line in two options - a 5 seater and as a 7 Seater for those that need to carry more or just like having more seats inside their SUVs. Right now, MBM estimates that it will be priced from RM633,888 on the road, without insurance when it goes on sale pending final pricing from the government.



This is the E-Class in terms of Mercedes-Benz SUVs. Like the very much loved sedan, the E-Class SUV gets a lot of on-road refinement but also adds the characteristics of an off-roader. This GLE 450 AMG Line is equipped with the active suspension system E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL and the Active Stop-and-Go Assist driving assistance systems which will enable it to have all-terrain performance as well as the latest in driver's aid systems. It is 2019 you know.

Being a Mercedes-Benz with a '450' badge on it means that it offers more than just the badge. It offers a lot of performance. The GLE 450 AMG Line is fitted with a 3.0liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder engine which makes 367hp and a nice 500Nm of torque. 0-100kmh is in a hot hatch taming 5.7 seconds and it goes onwards to 250kmh (limited like most German cars these days - unless truly special). 

The large SUV offers  extended DYNAMIC SELECT transmission modes, the latest stage of development of the air suspension system AIRMATIC with enhanced damping system ADS, the 9-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission, state-of-the-art assistance systems and the latest telematics generation with internet access. You get a whole lot of car for your RM633k here.


Dr Claus Weidner (above right, next to Mark Raine VP Sales & Marketing, MBM), President and Chief Executive Officer Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said at the launch, “We are proud to introduce the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLE 450 AMG Line. It portrays the iconic Mercedes-Benz design while remaining true to its character as an off-roader. The interior derives its fascination from the contrast between the luxurious and elegant design and the digital high-tech of our MBUX system. It a product of ‘all kinds of strength’.”
