Even more eager-revving and even more responsive: the 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine

At the heart of the new GLE 53 family is the enhanced 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine. A new cylinder head with improved inlet and outlet ducts, a new inlet camshaft, a new intake system and a new charge-air cooler noticeably improve responsiveness and eagerness to rev. The turbocharged engine produces 330 kW (449 hp) and delivers a maximum torque of 600 Nm.

In the 48-volt version, a second-generation integrated starter-generator (ISG) supports the engine. Its functions include short-term boosting with 17 kW (23 hp) of power and 205 Nm of torque, recuperation and the almost imperceptible restart of the engine in the start-stop function. Performance meets the highest expectations: the 48-volt version sprints from standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

In the Mercedes‑AMG GLE 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+, the six-cylinder engine works together with an electric motor producing 135 kW (184 hp). The 400-volt plug-in hybrid enables sporty driving dynamics as well as locally emission-free mobility. The system output of 430 kW (585 hp) and maximum system torque of 750 Nm allow for impressive performance: the GLE 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds – 0.2 seconds faster than before. Top speed: electronically limited to 250 km/h. Purely electric speeds of up to 140 km/h are possible. Thanks to the electric range of 88‑91 kilometres (SUV) and 90‑93 kilometres (Coupé) according to WLTP, customers can cover many everyday journeys using electric power alone.

New design, highly precise suspension

A hallmark of the new GLE 53 generation is the front end with its modified AMG specific radiator trim, newly designed air intakes and characteristic LED lighting. The rear also has an even more distinctive appearance, with newly shaped star-design tail lamps and the AMG specific exhaust system with twin tailpipe trim elements.

The standard equipment of the new GLE 53 models includes the AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension with adaptive adjustable damping. It offers a balanced combination of exceptional comfort and AMG-typical driving dynamics. For the 48-volt version, the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension with active roll stabilisation is available as an option. The newly developed ESP® system now offers even more precise control strategies and works closely with the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. Variable torque distribution ensures optimum traction in every driving situation.
