Actor Karan Tacker, best known for his roles in television and OTT platforms is now a proud owner of a Mercedes-Benz GLE luxury SUV. The actor was seen taking delivery of his new prized possession recently, images of which were shared by the dealership.

Mercedes-Benz India introduced the new GLE facelift in the country in November last year. The offering received several upgrades over the predecessor including styling and interior changes. The new GLE gets a revised face with sharper-looking LED headlamps. It also gets a new single-slat grille, redesigned alloy wheels, and a revised rear bumper. The LED taillights have been tweaked as well for a fresh new look. The overall profile remains the same on the luxury SUV complete with functional roof rails, side steps and blacked-out ORVMs.
