We drive Mercedes' X6-chasing GLE Coupe in punchy 350d form. Has it done enough to catch its BMW rival? The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is the more overtly sporting sister to the facelifted third-generation M-Class, which has also adopted the GLE moniker.It will be launched in the UK with two standard engines: a 254bhp turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 diesel fitted to the GLE350d 4Matic Coupe we've driven here, and a 328bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 petrol in the GLE400 4Matic Coupe.They will be joined next month by two AMG-developed petrol engines: a 362bhp version of the twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 in the GLE450 AMG 4Matic Coupe and a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 developing 549bhp in the GLE63 4Matic Coupe, as well as a gutsier 577bhp version in the range-topping GLE63 S 4Matic Coupe.As their names suggest, all models receive Mercedes' 4Matic four-wheel drive system as standard.
