AMG’s high and hefty GLE Coupe gets the mild hybrid treatment
AutoExec Summary
The Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is a swoopy spin-off of the brand’s SUV, offering less practicality for a higher price. Despite this, there is still an audience for this type of vehicle. The new Coupe is slightly more agile but has less interior space compared to the previous model. The GLE53 Coupe will feature a twin-turbo 3.0-litre in-line six with mild electrification and is expected to be the main variant in Australia. The Coupe’s engine is impressive and features some novel technology. The handling, ride, and chassis upgrades are also impressive, but rearward vision is poor. The price is expected to be around $150,000.
