2017 Mercedes-AMG GLE 43
The new Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 set to replace the GLE 400 by
early 2017. The new GLE model is the ninth AMG 43 model in the
Mercedes range, as the company unfolds its plan to expand the AMG portfolio.
Powered by a biturbo 3.0-litre V6 unit, the new GLE 43 offers 362hp and 384 lb
ft of peak torque, sent to all four wheels via a nine-speed 9G-Tronic automatic
transmission.
AMG, which is going to celebrate its 50th anniversary
in 2017, created the 43 model lineup for customers that want a sportier driving
experience but don’t necessarily need the high-end performance figures of the
63-series models.
The new Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 also comes with a host
of AMG-tuned features specifically for the occasion, including the steering,
braking system, the sports suspension and the throttle mapping.
The new GLE 43 now features the AMG Dynamic Select
System with five different driving modes - Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual,
and Slippery. Each one of them alter parameters like suspension stiffness,
transmission shift points, throttle mapping and idle speed to fit any
condition.
