January 31 was a day to remember in Mercedes-Benz history, with the company unveiling its early-2017 AMG GLE43 SUV, its ninth model in the AMG 43 line, bespeaking a performance turn in the SUV market and complementing the athletic, sleek gloss-black-trim, 4-door GLE43 coupe. Are you as excited as we were to see what's under the hood?
GLE43 comes to life to the aggressive purring of its AMG-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo powertrain boasting up to 362 horsepower and up to 384 lb-ft of torque, putting driving punch behind its spacious five-passenger design. Lithe traveling companions, GLE43's AMG-enhanced 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive come together with tuned steering and eponymous braking and sport suspension for razor-sharp handling. And the AMG Dynamic Select System provides a showcase of selectable modes, from Comfort, Sport, Sport+ to Individual and Slippery, so GLE43 can adjust suspension stiffness, shift points, throttle mapping and idle speed to traverse terrain and weather both diverse and adverse.
GLE43 surely transports as well as how smooth it feels underfoot, too. Behind the rear seats, the SUV's up-to-38.2 cu-ft of cargo space (up to 80.3 cu-ft with seats lowered) packs plenty of room for travel essentials, and GLE43's standard power lift gate enabled quick and easy access. And a power sunroof and heated front seats come standard, so you can enjoy the wind in your hair and the stars overhead, or remain toasty on the drive-time commute.
Maybe you want to see what the GLE43's all about. Or maybe the GLE400 has caught your eye, and you're eager to know where GLE43 improves. You're in luck. W.I. Simonson stocks both models.
