The luxury SUV market is doing quite well in Nigeria, especially in cities like Abuja and Lagos, while Mercedes-Benz and Range Rover brands have been topping the chart. One of the latest entrants into the segment is the powerhouse 2023 Mercedes-AMG GLE.
SUVs these days are not only big; they can be ultra luxurious and ridiculously fast as well. The 2023 Mercedes GLE SUV ditches the Benz branding and receives the AMG treatment, which nets the mid-size SUV more power, a performance-orientated suspension setup, and a handful of design tweaks. Mercedes-AMG offers its GLE-class models in both SUV and fastback body styles, as well as in GLE53 and GLE63 S guises. Driver assistance and safety systems, but also a rip-roaring drivetrain with eye-watering performance.
The 2023 model marks the 55th anniversary of the AMG performance brand. To celebrate this, Mercedes-AMG is offering the GLE in a limited-run Edition 55 and a special-edition model that includes distinct cues such as side-mounted Edition 55 graphics, matte-grey 22-inch wheels with Edition 55-exclusive centre caps, and a steering wheel with commemorative badging.

As a reminder, the 3.0‑litre straight‑6 petrol engine under the bonnet is mated to all 4 wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission. It benefits from twin turbochargers and is electrified courtesy of an integrated starter generator and a 48 V system.

As a result, the claimed 0-100 kph time improves from 5.3 to 5.0 seconds.
