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. With triple-boosted torque, intelligent all-wheel drive and a widescreen cockpit, they're charging into a new generation of power.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, 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, engineers and racers who live 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 60 in 5.2 seconds. The handcrafted 603-hp AMG biturbo V8 thrusts the GLE 63 S to 60 in 3.7 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[9]
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[9]
Multiple modes, for all your driving moods
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT lets you fine-tune your GLE's performance via a console control or the available 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. Huge 16.5-inch/6-piston front brakes are the peak GLE 53 option and the baseline for the GLE 63 S, which offers a Ceramic Composite ultimate upgrade. Disclaimer[12]
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. Available AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL adds an innovative roll stabilization system.
A new, and higher, definition performance.
The AMG GLE digital cockpit presents 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 several styles, the AMG Performance steering wheel's contoured side grips invite your ideal grip, keeping the shift paddles and clever touchpads nearby. Standard on the GLE 63 S and a GLE 53 option, the 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-color LED ambient lighting, let you suit your changing moods.
The sporting soul shines on every surface
Supersized AMG® wheels fill the flared wheel arches and frame the substantial brake hardware. GLE 53 wheels are available in seven designs from 20 to 22 inches. The GLE 63 S offers 21-inch and 22-inch designs, each in two color schemes. Disclaimer[13]
