2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE 400d AMG Line Coupe

The GLE400d pairs Mercedes' 2.9-litre inline-six diesel with 4MATIC all-wheel drive and a 9G-Tronic automatic, producing 325 bhp and 700 lb-ft of torque. That torque figure gives it effortless mid-range shove and a 2,700 kg towing capacity, while the 149 mph top speed keeps it relevant on faster roads. This is the GLE Coupe body, with the sloping roofline that sets it apart from the standard SUV.

This 2022 (72-plate) car is finished in Obsidian Black and has covered 24,521 miles. It is in AMG Line Premium Plus specification, which brings a panoramic electric sunroof with interior blind, heated front seats, a head-up display and MULTIBEAM LED headlamps. Bluetooth handles both hands-free calls and audio streaming.

It is a Euro 6 compliant diesel with CO2 emissions of 218 g/km. As a GLE400d rather than an AMG 53 or 63, it is better read as a fast, long-legged grand tourer than a true performance model.
