300d 4Matic from $134,900 before on-road costs, a $12,000 reduction on its most recent $146,900 figure.

However, there have been adjustments made to its list of standard equipment, which Mercedes-Benz Australia says were based on customer feedback “to provide greater flexibility and options when configuring vehicles”.

Despite the price decrease, the entry-level GLE is still $35,000 dearer than when the current-generation model arrived in local showrooms in 2020 – albeit without the 48-volt mild-hybrid technology which joined the lineup this year.

Changes include the move to Artico synthetic leather upholstery in place of true leather, which is available to order in ****** for $2900, and $3300 for macchiato beige/****** or bahia brown/******.

The GLE 300d’s 21-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke wheels have also become a $2300 option, with a ****** set of 20-inch alloys in their place. Buyers can still upgrade to a set of 22-inch wheels for an extra $3900.
