Mercedes-Benz India has introduced the limited-edition GLE and GLS Night Editions in India, bringing a distinctive design language and premium interior enhancements to its luxury SUV portfolio. The exclusive models are part of a global limited-series offering and will be available in restricted volumes, underlining their premium positioning and collector appeal.
The Night Editions are based on the brand’s highest-selling luxury SUVs — the GLE and GLS — and have been developed to meet increasing customer demand for exclusivity, personalization, and differentiated styling. Both models feature darkened exterior aesthetics combined with premium interior appointments that are not available on the standard variants.
The SUVs are offered in two exterior paint options: Obsidian Black and Alpine Grey. The Alpine Grey shade has been introduced exclusively for the Night Edition lineup, providing buyers with a more distinctive appearance option. The exterior design theme emphasizes a bold black styling package, reinforcing the sporty and sophisticated character of the vehicles.
Inside the cabin, the Night Editions feature black Nappa leather upholstery paired with Anthracite open-pore oak wood trim, enhancing the premium ambience of both SUVs. Mercedes-Benz has also equipped both models with a Head-Up Display as standard, further strengthening their technology-focused luxury appeal.
The GLE Night Edition receives additional upgrades in the form of AIRMATIC suspension, delivering enhanced ride comfort and improved driving dynamics through adaptive air suspension technology. The feature is expected to further differentiate the limited-edition model from the regular GLE lineup.
Mercedes-Benz India stated that the GLE has consistently remained one of the company’s strongest performers in the core luxury SUV segment, supported by strong customer loyalty across Indian markets. The Night Edition expands this offering by combining sporty styling cues with additional comfort and exclusivity-focused features.
The GLS Night Edition extends the same design philosophy to Mercedes-Benz India’s flagship luxury SUV. As one of the highest-selling models in the top-end luxury SUV category, the GLS Night Edition introduces a stronger blacked-out visual treatment while maintaining the vehicle’s commanding road presence and premium cabin experience.
The launch also aligns with the brand’s global celebration of 140 years of automotive innovation. Since the invention of the first automobile by Carl Benz and the development of the motorized carriage by Gottlieb Daimler, Mercedes-Benz Group AG has continued to focus on innovation, luxury engineering, and advanced mobility solutions.
Mercedes-Benz stated that its ongoing product strategy reflects a commitment to intelligent mobility, customer-centric luxury, and performance-led engineering. The company highlighted that innovations across its global portfolio — including electric mobility and advanced driver technologies — continue to shape the future of premium automotive experiences.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, Mercedes-Benz is conducting a global trans-continental journey featuring three S-Class sedans visiting 140 locations worldwide, showcasing the company’s heritage, technology leadership, and global presence through a multi-country experiential campaign running through October.
Mercedes-Benz India continues to maintain the country’s largest luxury automotive retail network with more than 140 touchpoints across over 50 cities. The company also remains a pioneer in luxury electric mobility and local manufacturing, producing multiple battery electric vehicles in India while offering one of the widest portfolios of luxury sedans, SUVs and performance vehicles in the market.
