When Mercedes facelifted the GLE at the beginning of the year, the AMG Lite version received a larger turbocharger boosting torque to 413 lb-ft while horsepower remained the same at 429 hp.

Don't fret as the combustion engine has not been downsized to a four-cylinder, which sadly happened to the C63.
