received a mid-life update for 2024, bringing with it a small power boost from 48V mild-hybrid technology and fresh looks… but with a $25,000 increase to its base price.

The new GLE 300d Night Edition brings the base price down, at least a bit, to $139,900 before on-road costs.

It costs $5000 less than the standard GLE 300d, but is still $40,000 dearer than when the current-generation model arrived in 2020.

Mercedes-Benz says only a limited number of Night Editions will come here.

Despite costing less than the standard GLE 300d, the Night Edition gets the GLE 300d’s optional ‘Airmatic’ air suspension as standard, which allows for adjustable damping for rebound and compression to improve ride quality.

There are also ****** 22-inch AMG alloy wheels, but a ****** finish for parts like the exterior mirror housings and window trim.

As with the standard GLE 300d 4Matic, power in the Night Edition comes from a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine producing 198kW of power and 550Nm of torque.

It’s mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive as standard, and has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 6.9 seconds and combined cycle fuel economy of 6.6L/100km.
