Mercedes-AMG GLE SUV

Just looking at the front section reveals that the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ is ready to attack. The louvres in the radiator grille are vertical, and immediately identify the GLE as an AMG. Thanks to the newly designed AMG front apron, it is more dynamic, progressive and athletic than before. An impression truly confirmed when you press the accelerator.

The striking rear end also impresses with its dynamism and sporty look. And no wonder, as it is often the only feature of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ you get to see. Two twin exhaust tailpipes in high-gloss black provide additional highlights.

Truly eye-catching: the optional 53.3 cm (21-inch) AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with a high-sheen finish. These visually upgrade the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ and round off the sporty overall appearance.

Its dynamism is plain to see – especially with the new AMG front apron. It gives the GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ an even more athletic and self-assured presence.

Powerful sound and appearance: the AMG sports exhaust system has two square twin tailpipes that dynamically round off the rear end. A diffuser accentuates the sporty character.

From 100 to 0 in no time: the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ also shows everyone its rear lights when braking. The AMG high-performance brake system excels with short braking distances, great precision, durability and red-painted brake callipers as standard in the S-variant. Just perfect for a life on the move.

Sporty seating comfort is ensured by the AMG sport seats with high-quality upholstery in nappa leather*

The GLE is ahead of many others – and also of its time. One of its innovations: the instrument clusters in an AMG-specific design. They not only look more dynamic – thanks to high-resolution multimedia displays and intuitive user interfaces, they set completely new standards.

Dynamism becomes tangible with the AMG Performance steering wheel: high-grade nappa leather* ensures a firm grip, while aluminium shift paddles provide a real motorsport feeling. All important vehicle menu items can be accessed using the multifunction buttons.

Sitting can also be sporty. The AMG seats in high-grade nappa leather ensure optimum lateral support and dynamic comfort. Distinctive extra: the AMG-specific pattern layout with "AMG" badge in the front seat backrests.

Everything has been thought of in the high-quality cockpit of the Mercedes-AMG GLE. Even larger drink containers find space in the centre console. Rather shaken than stirred? An additional grab handle on the front passenger side is an extremely useful feature on more dynamic off-road stretches.

The beating heart of every AMG: the engine. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ is powered by a muscular six-cylinder in-line engine with twin turbochargers and an electric auxiliary compressor plus an integrated starter/alternator, developing 320 kW (435 hp) and 520 Nm for an adrenalin surge.

Produced from high-quality materials for outstanding performance: the AMG braking system with silver-painted brake callipers and "AMG" lettering.

Performance as your mood takes you – with AMG DYNAMIC SELECT. A touch of a button is all it takes for the suspension to adapt itself to the road conditions or individual preferences of the driver. The available choices include "Comfort", "Sport" or "Sport+". And with the suspension mode "Trail" or "Sand", progress is effortless even on difficult surfaces.

A sound that gets under your skin – and not only there: with the AMG exhaust system included as standard, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ already draws attention to itself before arriving. The sound characteristics change thanks to the DYNAMIC SELECT driving modes "Sport" and "Sport+".

Pushes and continues to push: the V8 biturbo with integrated starter/alternator for the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+. From 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds with up to 450 kW (612 hp) and 850 Nm. SUV? Sports car? Both.

Impressively short braking distances – with the AMG high-performance braking system, the power of the Mercedes-AMG GLE can be precisely metered. Just as impressive as the braking performance: the durability.

Whether in the wet, on snow or on dry surfaces, the intelligent all-wheel system AMG Performance 4MATIC+ distributes the power to where it is needed most. The result: no loss in traction, even when driving dynamically at the limit.

Sound at the touch of a button: the optional AMG Performance exhaust system not only gives the Mercedes-AMG GLE an extremely sporty sound. At the touch of a button, the sound characteristics can be changed to suit the currently selected AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving mode. Controlled backfiring and throttle blips during downshifts in "Sport" and "Sport+" ensure a sound experience that produces goosebumps.
