2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe Trims Comparison

Which 2024 GLE-Class Coupe trim does Edmunds recommend?

Most drivers, even those with a penchant for speed and performance, will be well served by the AMG GLE 53 Coupe. It has more than enough power, while the AMG 63 S Coupe is meant for the rare driver who can legitimately use the added oomph. We also recommend opting for the Driver Assistance package to get adaptive cruise control along with several additional driver assist features.

2024 GLE-Class Coupe trim level differences

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is a midsize four-door SUV with seating for five. It's based on the standard GLE but has a sharper rear roofline for a more sleek silhouette. The GLE Coupe is available in two trim levels: AMG GLE 53 Coupe and AMG GLE 63 S Coupe.

The AMG GLE 53 Coupe is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine (429 horsepower, 413 lb-feet of torque) with a mild hybrid component. It's paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard. The AMG GLE 63 S Coupe steps up to a hand-built twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine (603 hp, 624 lb-ft of torque) with hybrid assist.
