The ADME angle

The launch of the PHEV GLE SUV and Coupe twins at a list price of $156,900 and $160,900 respectively will likely attract premium buyers looking for a more environmentally friendly option without compromising on performance

What it means for the order bank

With the GLE SUV and Coupe twins now offering PHEV powertrains, dealers can expect a shift in customer preferences towards these variants, potentially impacting stock levels and ordering strategies

The pricing strategy for the PHEV GLE SUV and Coupe twins suggests that Mercedes-Benz Australia is targeting a specific segment of the market, likely competing with other luxury SUVs that offer hybrid or electric powertrains
