This car is indirectly promoting Innova hycross

Not going to sell at this price point, very wrong approach to the Indian Market. Indeed this makes customers feel more value for money now. People would pay 25+L and upgrade to Velfire Or Merc Vclass This is going the Jimny way down

Very lookish and automatic gear box is op

Very good car and nice ,loookish and luggage comfort It,s a beast, nice led lamp light features, gorgeous, Price is so cheap as compared to BMW X7 same feature provide this car.nice.

Mercedes-Benz GLE 350d First Drive Review

By Ninad Mirajgaonkar29 Jan 2016

The new Mercedes-Benz GLE. The name might suggest it is a new vehicle, but in reality it is a mid-life update of the ML-Class with the badging as per the company’s new nomenclature. In terms of platform, architecture and product positioning nothing has changed; although it is more than just a name change with the new face and new nine-speed gearbox.
