GLE 53: So rüstet Mercedes das große AMG-SUV auf

Mercedes has recently revamped the AMG variants of the GLE and Coupé models within the GLE 53 range. These high-performance SUVs and coupés now boast an enhanced design, a new steering wheel with classic controls, and a revamped six-cylinder engine that meets the upcoming Euro 7 emission standard. All vehicles are still manufactured in the US factory in Tuscaloosa, with no changes to their general specifications.

The GLE 53 remains the entry point to the AMG world for this premium series, combining a four-cylinder engine with full-time four-wheel drive, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and standard air suspension. Buyers can choose between a mild hybrid and a plug-in hybrid version, with the latter costing an additional €8,735. The plug-in variant's exterior design highlights a modified AMG grille, new air intakes, and new LED lighting graphics, while the rear features star-shaped taillights.

Inside, Mercedes' proprietary MB.OS system controls the vehicle's features, displaying information on three 12.3-inch screens. AMG-specific displays, such as a large tachometer and performance data, are always visible to the driver, and the steering wheel returns its traditional knobs, wheel, and wiper.
