2022 GLE-Class Coupe trim level differences

The 2022 Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupe is a five-passenger, four-door luxury SUV, just like the standard GLE on which it is based. However, the "coupe" part of the equation relates to its low and fast roofline, which sacrifices rear headroom and cargo space for a sportier look.

It comes in AMG GLE 53 Coupe trim and features a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology (429 horsepower, 384 lb-ft of torque), a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard performance-tuned all-wheel drive. Additionally, the AMG GLE 53 Coupe has an adaptive air suspension, performance brakes and a sport exhaust system.

Highlights from the equipment list include:

The GLE Coupe's safety features include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns if a front collision is imminent and applies the brakes if the driver doesn't respond in time)
  • Blind-spot monitoring (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Driver attention monitor (issues an alert if sensors determine you are becoming fatigued)
  • Mercedes' Pre-Safe system (quickly adjusts seat belts, head restraints and windows if an imminent collision is detected)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)

Primary option packages for the GLE Coupe include:

Driver Assistance Package Plus
This collection of advanced driver assist and collision avoidance systems includes:

  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot intervention (automatically steers the car back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a car is in the vehicle's blind spot)
  • Collision mitigation braking with cross-traffic function (warns the driver of vehicles entering an intersection and can apply braking force to prevent or reduce a collision)
  • Evasive steering assist (enhances the forward collision mitigation system with steering-based collision avoidance)
  • Emergency stop assist (detects when the driver is no longer holding the steering wheel and is unresponsive to alerts, and can bring the Mercedes to a safe stop with the hazard lights flashing)

Which 2022 GLE-Class Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

Last year, we recommended the AMG GLE 53 Coupe for its satisfying performance and long list of standard features. Now, that version is the only one available. If you're in the mood to upgrade, the AMG Night package adds blacked-out trim, the Driver Assistance Package Plus installs numerous safety features, and the AMG Dynamic Plus package improves the SUV's handling.
