Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the GLE400e AMG Line at RM498,888. Its 402 hp 2.0-litre petrol plug-in hybrid has seven hp more than the GLE 450, and it costs RM30,000 less. It also has up to 108 km of electric range. Pay RM528,888 for the GLE 450 4Matic AMG Line CKD only if its 3.0-litre petrol Hybrid/REV drivetrain is reason enough to spend more. Both use AWD, an automatic gearbox and five seats. On paper, the extra money is for the drivetrain; check the equipment list.

Mercedes-Benz GLE buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The GLE gives Malaysian buyers two AWD five-seat electrified powertrains, with the GLE400e making the clearer numerical case: more stated power for less money, plus up to 108 km of electric range. The GLE is not the lower-priced route into this executive SUV set; the BMW X5, Lexus RX and Volvo XC90 all start below it. The GLE450 asks more again without a stated equipment advantage.
