Mercedes-Benz Philippines has introduced a new luxury SUV to compete with the BMW X5 xDrive50e plug-in hybrid. Say hello to the Mercedes-Benz GLE plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), specifically the GLE 400 e with EQ Hybrid Technology, a luxury SUV that seamlessly combines performance and efficiency.
Receiving a facelift in 2024, the Mercedes-Benz GLE plug-in hybrid comes with the sporty AMG Line exterior, highlighted by the diamond grille with Mercedes-Benz pattern in chrome. Enhancing its athletic stance are the 21-inch AMG multi-spoke light-alloy wheels, which embody both performance and prestige. Meanwhile, the redesigned adaptive LED headlamps provide exceptional illumination, adapting intelligently to every driving situation for maximum visibility and safety.
Inside, the Mercedes-Benz GLE plug-in hybrid redefines comfort and exclusivity for those who demand more from their daily journeys. The MBUX multimedia system with a two-screen display transforms travel into an intuitive, connected experience, complemented by Augmented Reality Navigation for effortless guidance. The cabin is finished with ARTICO synthetic leather upholstery and MICROCUT microfiber, creating an atmosphere of sophistication, while the Burmester surround sound system offers concert-level audio for moments of relaxation or celebration.
Safety is also paramount in the GLE plug-in hybrid with its Transparent Bonnet feature that provides confidence when navigating uneven terrains, while Active Parking Assist and the 360-Degree Camera ensure ease and precision in the tightest urban spaces. Every detail is designed to empower your lifestyle—whether in the boardroom, on a spontaneous weekend getaway, or on memorable family journeys. Furthermore, the GLE plug-in hybrid is also equipped with advanced technologies such as the PRE-SAFE® system, which prepares occupants in the event of an imminent collision, and Active Brake Assist, which helps prevent or mitigate accidents by monitoring surrounding traffic and automatically intervening when necessary.
At the heart of the GLE 400e variant on sale in the Philippines is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor to deliver an impressive 252 hp and 400 Nm of torque. With an AC charge up to 11 kW and an all-electric range of more than 100 km based on WLTP testing, drivers can enjoy emission-free city commutes while retaining the freedom for longer journeys. This hybrid system is hooked up to a 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic and sends power through the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system.
This coming weekend, September 26 to 28, 2025, Mercedes-Benz invites you to experience innovation firsthand as the GLE 400 e Plug-in Hybrid will be on display at the Rockwell Power Plant Mall, South Court. Prices for the GLE 400 P5,790,000, undercutting the inline-six-powered BMW X5 plug-in hybrid by nearly a million.
