2027 Mercedes-Benz GLE450e PHEV priced for Australia

The Mercedes-Benz GLE450e 4MATIC is now officially on sale in Australia, joining the smaller existing GLA and GLC SUVs in offering a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain. An updated GLE was announced for Australia earlier this year , bringing a revised exterior and a model lineup starting with a six-cylinder turbo-diesel wagon variant, while petrol-powered AMG versions in both SUV and Coupe guises are set to arrive early next year. Joining the updated large luxury SUV range, the five-seat GLE450e PHEV will be offered in both SUV and Coupe body styles, priced from $156,900 and $160,900 before on-road costs, respectively. This compares to $142,300 before on-roads for the turbo-diesel GLE350d already in local showrooms, which like the PHEV is imported to Australia from the US. The 450e PHEV costs marginally more than the outgoing BMW X5 xDrive50e M Sport PHEV , which was priced at $153,600 plus ORCs.
