All powerful

Mercedes-Benz has unveiled an elegant yet all powerful performing coupé that will handle curves as masterfully as well as captivate onlookers at every turn.

The electrified coupé boasts superb agility and driving dynamics. The new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ Coupé is a high-traction all-wheel drive vehicle offering exceptional everyday comfort.

At the heart of the SUV Coupé is the AMG 4ltr V8 biturbo engine, which has been electrified with an EQ Boost starter-alternator and a 48-volt on-board electrical system to deliver an immediate response at start-up.

The model delivers an output of 450 kW (612 hp). Agility is guaranteed through an AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air-sprung suspension with AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL roll stabilisation, a fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive and an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G 9-speed automatic transmission.

It is also equipped with an AMG-specific radiator grille and features all the advantages of a Mercedes SUV including a comprehensive range of safety features and superior traction on damp, sandy or snowy driving surfaces.

Tobias Moers, chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, said: “Our new GLE 63 S Coupé rounds off our attractive portfolio in this segment. It meets the highest expectations in terms of design and exclusivity as well as excellent driving dynamics and agility. Thus, our latest SUV is an outstanding example of Performance Luxury made by AMG.

“In addition to that, even our GLE Coupé disposes of a 48-volt on-board electrical system connected with the EQ Boost starter-alternator which makes us drive the electrification of our model series in a consistent way.”

The design of the exterior is the embodiment of hallmark AMG Driving Performance. Imposing power domes in the bonnet and the front splitter in silver chrome emphasise the sharper coupé design all round. The model is shod with 22-inch light alloy wheels with AMG lettering as standard.

The special AMG exhaust system, with two rectangular high-gloss chrome-plated twin tailpipe trim elements, completes the sportily dominant look.  Further individualisation options are available in the AMG Night package. This includes heat-insulating, dark-tinted windows and also the front splitter, front and rear apron trim, inserts in the side skirts, mirror caps and window frames in dignified black. In addition, the twin tailpipe trim elements are finished in elegant high-gloss black.

The typical look and feel of the brand is continued in the interior. The AMG seats are upholstered in nappa leather, provide optimum lateral support and have an AMG-specific seat pattern layout with an “AMG” badge in the front backrests. The seven DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes, including Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual, RACE, Trail and Sand; allow a very varied driving experience.

Meanwhile, the MBUX control and display concept is a standard feature creating an even closer bond between the vehicle, driver and passengers. The latest version of the infotainment system also contributes to the great day-to-day practicality. Emotive displays such as the striking Supersport mode with a central rev counter and 3D-look scales lend visual depth to the instrument and accentuate the exclusivity. The newly designed visualisations in the multimedia display enable further vehicle functions to be experienced even better.
