2023 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe 3.0L 4MATIC+ 9AT AWD (435 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Beginning in 2023, Mercedes-AMG unveiled a revised model of the GLE’s fourth generation for the 2024 model year; however, the engine remained the same.

While the inline-six turbocharged engine in the Mercedes-Benz sister was upgraded, the GLE 53’s exterior and interior were updated to make it more appealing to customers. The GLE Coupe is now safer than it was previously, thanks to specific features the automaker installed at the same time.

The German carmaker kept its commitment to keep the GLE Coupe’s appearance modern while still making it simple to identify as a genuine AMG badge wearer. Thus, the Panamericana-grille with its vertical chromed slats was displayed on the front fascia. The multibeam-LED headlights, which had four light blocks, were one of the most obvious differences from its predecessor. A bigger lower lip spoiler was also added to the reworked lower bumper. The GLE 53 also had brand-new LED taillights with horizontal lighting at the back. The large SUV had four oval pipes flanking the rear diffuser at the back.

The carmaker replaced the outdated dual-screen on the dashboard with an improved model inside. The same piece of glass served as the cover for both displays—those for the infotainment system and the instrument panel—providing a cohesive appearance. However, only the latter had touchscreen capabilities. As was to be expected, AMG provided brand-specific features for the MBAUX system that provided more details about the settings and performance of the vehicle.

The company fitted a three-liter, inline-six engine under the hood that produced 435 horsepower (429 PS). Power was distributed to all four corners via the nine-speed automatic transmission.
