    Ein exklusiver Blick auf die Weltpremieren, eine ungezwungene Atmosphäre und viel Raum für den persönlichen Austausch: Bereits vor den Pressetagen des Automobilsalons in Genf informierte Mercedes-Benz geladene Medienvertreter über die bevorstehenden Weltpremieren bei einer der wichtigsten Leitmessen. Im Fokus des Interesses standen unter anderem die Neuvorstellung des überarbeiteten GLC, AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ (Kraftstoffverbrauch kombiniert: 9,3 l/100 km; CO2-Emissionen kombiniert: 212 g/km)1 und AMG GT R Roadster (Kraftstoffverbrauch kombiniert: 12,5 l/100 km; CO2-Emissionen kombiniert: 284 g/km). // An exclusive look at the world premieres, a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of room to chat: Ahead of the press days at the Geneva International Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz tells an invited audience of media representatives about the world premieres scheduled for one of the industry’s most important shows. Focal points included the presentation of the facelifted GLC, the AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ (fuel consumption combined: 9.3 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 212 g/km)1 and the AMG GT R Roadster (fuel consumption combined: 12.5 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 284 g/km).

    In February last year, Mercedes-AMG revealed their first offering of the new GLE with a mild-hybrid powertrain good for 450 hp (336 kW).

    Just like the previous 53 models, the GLE 53 4Matic+ has a mild-hybrid 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine that’s paired with an electric auxiliary compressor. The internal combustion engine can push out 429 hp (320kW) and 520 Nm of torque but the electric motor can be called upon to add 22 hp (16 kW) and 250 Nm when needed. This allows the SUV to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.3 seconds and tops out at an electronically limited speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

    If you want to add one of these to your garage in South Africa, you will need to part with R 1,617,000 (excluding CO2 tax of R11,638) for the SUV variant*.

    That price is never the price as luxury and high-end manufacturers make an absolute killing on optional extras. A set of optional wheels will add as much as R61,800 to your price and the Burmester high-end 3D surround sound system will sting you to the tune of R83,500 and that is without even touching the plethora of carbon fibre options.

    *GLE 53 Coupe pricing should be revealed soon.
