The true cost of the 2024 Mercedes benz GLE 53 in Nigeria – Reviews, and Buying Guide

For 2024, the Mercedes Benz GLE53 and GLE63 Sport became more powerful because of some polish thanks to a mid-cycle refresh. The GLE53 gets a new front bumper, giving it a little more attitude like the GLE63 S. Both models get revised LED daytime running lights and taillights. Mercedes also adds two new paint options, Alpine Grey and Twilight Blue metallic. A new 22-inch forged wheel design is now standard on the GLE63 S coupe; it’s optional on other models. Plus, Mercedes says the turbo six has more torque that’s intended to provide quicker acceleration.

There’s something to be said for knowing you have a good thing going and improving on a formula without upending it. That’s the guiding principle behind the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLE53. This performance SUV throws a little more of everything into the mix, and while the result is largely the same as before, there wasn’t a lot here that needed addressing.

Ola Of Lagos, who conducted a physical review, praised the beautiful interior and the latest technologies added to make the GLE model sportier than the standard Benz models. The AMG versions come with sports seats featuring contrasting red stitching, a sports steering wheel, red seatbelts, and aluminium accents. The cabin is spacious, even in the back seat, and a third row of seats is optional with the SUV’s square back body style.

When you think Benz consumes more fuel you realize that this 2024 GLE when it comes to fuel economy is rated as high as 18 mpg city and 22 highway while the coupe version sees both estimates drop by 1 mpg. Meanwhile, the GLE63 Sport is a thirstier hog, with a city rating of 15 mpg and a highway rating of up to 20 mpg.

The driver and front-seat passenger can interact with the system via the touchscreen, the centre-console-mounted controller, or by simply saying “Hey Mercedes” and then giving a voice command. We’ve found the system to be a bit clunky to use, but owners should acclimate after a few weeks behind the wheel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is standard, as is a Wi-Fi hotspot.

2024 Mercedes benz GLE 53 Engine, Transmission, and Performance

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE 53 comes with a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive. Its engine is boosted by an electric supercharger powered by a 48-volt electrical system. Paired with the GLE 53’s turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine, the powertrain generates 429 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. With this setup, an earlier GLE53 we tested was able to reach 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 13.0 seconds at 107 mph.

The GLE53 is equipped with an advanced suspension system that includes an air-bag system and active anti-roll bars, designed to offer excellent cornering ability without compromising ride comfort. When we drove the GLE53 coupe, it felt smooth even on uneven roads. Switching the drive mode to Sport or Sport Plus stiffened up the suspension enough to help stabilize this heavy family haulier when tackling twisty roads.
