Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe: C167 vs C167 Facelift
Verdict
This is a clean new-versus-outgoing call. The Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe C167 Facelift costs RM86,530 more, and that mainly buys a stronger 2,999 cc petrol hybrid tune: 429 hp and 560 Nm instead of 419 hp and 520 Nm. It is also three-tenths quicker to 100 km/h at 5.0 seconds. For a Malaysian buyer, the harder bit is that size, boot space, airbags, warranty and RM1,638 road tax are unchanged, so the outgoing Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe C167 still makes sense if the lower outlay matters more than the extra shove.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe C167 if you want the same body size, 655-litre boot, seven airbags and all-wheel drive while spending RM86,530 less on paper.
Pick the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE Coupe C167 Facelift if you want the stronger tune and the quicker 5.0-second 0-100 km/h time.
