Which Mercedes-Benz GLE is the base model, and what does it cost?

The 300d 4MATIC AMG Line, from ₹1.00Cr ex-showroom Delhi, is where the GLE range starts. Features you get even here: Level 1 ADAS, panoramic sunroof and 360 degree camera. What you give up against the top 450d 4MATIC: Bi-LED projector headlamps against Bi-LED + booster lamp, no ventilated front seats and no head-up display.

Which Mercedes-Benz GLE is the top model, and what does it cost?

The 450d 4MATIC tops the range at ₹1.17Cr ex-showroom Delhi. Over the base 300d 4MATIC AMG Line it adds headlamps (Bi-LED + booster lamp against Bi-LED projector), ventilated front seats and head-up display. It is not a straight superset of the range though: it goes without no rear USB-C ports that the 300d 4MATIC AMG Line has.

What do the Mercedes-Benz GLE trim names mean?

A trim is a level of equipment, and Mercedes-Benz uses 5 names for them on the GLE: in its own order they run 300d 4MATIC AMG Line, 300d 4MATIC Night Edition, 450 4MATIC, 450 4MATIC Night Edition and 450d 4MATIC. Between them the 5 variants cost ₹1.00Cr to ₹1.17Cr, ex-showroom Delhi.

Where that range comes from

Every price in the table is ex-showroom, the figure before road tax, registration and the rest of it. Road tax is set by the state you register in rather than by the maker, so what you actually hand over moves with where you live.

The two ends of that range differ in two ways at once: the bottom is the cheapest variant in the state that taxes it least, and the top is the dearest variant in the state that taxes it most.

Hold the variant still and only the geography moves: the 300d 4MATIC AMG Line Diesel Mild Hybrid AT comes to ₹1,07,30,808 in Ahmedabad and ₹1,23,31,008 in Kochi, a difference of ₹16,00,200 on the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price it in, Gujarat, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh are level at the lowest, and Kerala comes out highest. You register where you live, so read that as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as somewhere cheaper to buy.

Comprehensive own-damage cover sits on top of all of it. That has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer and your no-claim bonus, so budget for it from real quotes rather than from any number here.

Not sure which GLE to buy?

₹1.00Cr₹1.17Cr

Our pick: 300d 4MATIC Night Editionbest value for money

The verdict in words

There are 5 ways to buy the GLE, across 5 trims, from ₹1.00Cr to ₹1.17Cr ex-showroom Delhi.

Best value for money: 300d 4MATIC Night Edition, at ₹5.00L over the 300d 4MATIC AMG Line. No other step you pay for is better value for money on the price list.

Above 300d 4MATIC Night Edition the range keeps going, but every upgrade left changes the engine or the gearbox as well as the features, so there is no honest way to rank them on value for money. Choose up there on the powertrain you want.
