AMG GLE 53 and GLE 63 S SUVs
Possibly the most technologically advanced luxury performance SUVs on the market, the AMG GLE 53 and GLE 63 S are electrified, and electrifying. Triple-boosted torque, teams with intelligent all-wheel drive and a widescreen digital cockpit.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test limits, and for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to a new generation of electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
Triple-boosted, for a torrent of torque
Two advanced engines team twin-scroll turbocharging with 48-volt hybrid drive that can add 184 lb-ft of electric torque. A 429-hp turbo inline-6, further boosted by an electric compressor, rushes the GLE 53 to 100 km/h in 5.3 seconds. The handcrafted 603-hp AMG biturbo V8 thrusts the GLE 63 S to 100 in 3.8 seconds.

Nine speeds, for response across the range
Numerous performance enhancements make the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed a driver's delight on any road, at any rpm. With the multiple modes of AMG DYNAMIC SELECT, you can enjoy perks like rev-matched downshifts, and quicker-then-ever paddle-shifted manual gear changes.
Variable-torque all-wheel drive, to turn traction to action
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ sends power to the wheels that can best turn grip into go, and tenacity into agility. From decisive launches to powering out of corners, 4MATIC+ can vary the torque split from AWD to 100% RWD. An electronic limited-slip rear diff gives the GLE 63 S even sharper control. Disclaimer[7]
Agility born on the unbeaten track
Everything AMG learns in its racetrack victories improves how its vehicles perform on the street. With a range of features, a variety of driving modes, and an agile all-wheel drive system, an AMG GLE will remind you every day what the S in SUV stands for. Disclaimer[7]
Multiple modes, for all your driving moods
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune your GLE's performance via a console control or the standard steering-wheel AMG DRIVE UNIT. Seven programs, from Comfort, Sport+ and Sand to your own Individual mode, can vary throttle mapping, shifting, suspension and more. The GLE 63 S adds a track-ready RACE mode.

Surround sound, from a tailpipe symphony
The GLE 53's AMG Sport Exhaust accentuates the AMG soundtrack under revs, yet stays melodious when you're cruising. Computer-controlled flaps on the AMG Performance Exhaust, standard on the GLE 63 and a GLE 53 option, let you conduct the orchestra yourself via AMG DYNAMIC SELECT or direct actuation.
Calipers of a higher caliber, and then some
A range of braking systems starts at powerful and grows to mighty. All feature multipiston front calipers grasping sizable perforated discs. Big 400mm front discs are standard on both models, with the GLE 63 S also offering Ceramic Compound brakes as a motorsports-derived option. Disclaimer[10]
Air out some curves, or actively flatten them
AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension optimizes driving dynamics and comfort. Its 3-stage adaptive damping responds to roads, loads, and driving modes. It can lower at speed to enhance stability and efficiency, or you can raise it to negotiate ruts and ramps. On the GLE 63 S, AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL adds an innovative Roll Stabilization system.
A higher definition of performance.
The AMG GLE digital cockpit presents its performance as brilliantly as it represents it: A wide range of customizable settings and readouts are delivered via dual widescreen displays. Precise controls connect you to its precisely controlled handling. And its luxury touches are a treat to touch.
The sense of control takes a turn
Offered in up to four styles, the AMG Performance steering wheel's contoured side grips invite your ideal grip, keeping the shift paddles and clever touchpads nearby. The standard AMG DRIVE UNIT's color display buttons put key performance settings on the wheel.
The power of choice continues
With eight distinctive trim options and a spectrum of upholsteries, you can tailor your AMG GLE to suit your style. Reconfigurable digital instruments with AMG-exclusive displays, as well as 64-colour LED ambient lighting, let you suit your changing moods.
The sporting soul shines on every surface
Supersized 21-inch AMG wheels are available in four designs on the GLE 53, two exclusive to the performance-enhancing AMG Driver's Package. The bold Edition 429 wears 22-inch wheels. The GLE 63 S offers a choice of 22-inch AMG wheels. Disclaimer[11]
