Feature Highlights
Handcrafted AMG 4.0L V8 biturbo engine with hybrid assist
<p>The acclaimed AMG biturbo 4.0L V8 features updates to its fuel injection, intake, exhaust, camshaft and turbos, along with a flat-plane crankshaft and new firing order. Generating 603 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, it can deliver 60 in 3.6 seconds and swift response at any speed. Its "hot inside V" turbo location cuts lag and losses. An electric Integrated Starter-Generator can efficiently add gas-free torque. Yet even with its advancements, each V8 is still hand-built and signed by its own craftsman.</p>
Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer's track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive
<p>A specially engineered version of 4MATIC can instantly vary the front-to-rear torque distribution in precise response to driving conditions and driver inputs. It can even send up to 100% to the rear wheels. An electromechanical coupling between the front and rear axles is controlled based on an elaborate matrix of driving mode, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and available grip to help optimize handling and acceleration right up to the physical limits, on virtually any road or track surface.</p>
System cannot overcome the laws of physics, nor is it a substitute for being attentive to driving, traffic and conditions. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL
<p>In addition to the capabilities and modes of AMG RIDE CONTROL+, the 48-volt architecture of the GLE allows for an enhancement offering active roll stabilization. Each axle employs an independently operating electromechanical actuator with an integrated planetary gear. The system can help reduce body roll and allows for more precise damping adaptation when cornering. In straight-line driving, it can enhance comfort by helping adapt to asymmetrical wheel movements such as bumps on one side of the road.</p>
Off-road driving should only be attempted by drivers with the necessary skill, experience and understanding of the vehicle's limits. Read Operator's Manual before driving off-road.

AMG Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather
<p>A twin-spoke design makes the AMG Performance steering wheel more enjoyable than ever. In addition to its contoured side grips, flat-bottom design, and aluminum AMG shift paddles, each spoke places the multifunction controls for more intuitive access by feel alone. Also standard are AMG DRIVE UNIT performance controls.</p>
MBUX Superscreen
<p>A major achievement in automotive displays, the Superscreen unites an LED instrument cluster, and two LED touchscreens behind a single cross-cabin span of high-strength, fingerprint-and scratch-resistant glass. Features include permanent soft keys for primary controls, and innovative "zero-layer" intelligent menu surfacing.</p>
