AMG GLE 63 S Coupe Driving

The 2026 MercedesAMG®® GLE 63 S Coupe 4MATIC®+® is a dual-threat super SUV. You can drive it comfortably to and from your daily errands, picking up the kids, taking them to their extracurriculars, and you can absolutely dust pretty much anything that comes up next to you at a traffic light.  

A Proper Review by Road & Track 

Road & Track recently tested the 2026 AMG® GLE 63 S Coupe 4MATIC® and came away praising it for being properly fun and enjoyable while also being just unique enough compared to its competition.

Mercedes-AMG®® has put a hand-built twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 under the hood, producing 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Mercedes claims that with the standard Race Start launch control, you can get from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. However, Car and Driver, in previous performance testing, was able to get to 60 in only 3.4 seconds. The vehicle’s 9-speed automatic transmission helps to keep things civilized until you’re ready to start pulling the paddles on the steering wheel for full manual control. This makes the GLE 63 S Coupe a real threat to supercars everywhere.

The AMG® GLE 63 S Is Easy to Live With  

The Mercedes-AMG®® GLE 63 S Coupe 4MATIC®+® allows you to drop the kids off at school by 8:00 am and be at the drag strip racing for pinks by lunch.   

Rear Seat Passengers Will Be Very Comfortable 

And don’t let that coupe-like roof fool you; there is plenty of room for rear passengers. As Road & Track mentioned, “Rear seat space is plentiful in the GLE Coupe, with four-zone climate control available to create separate zones for everybody on board.”

An Interior Like No Other 

Once inside, all occupants are pampered with high-end leather and real buttons and knobs to put your fingers on. Drivers will appreciate the 12.3-inch customizable digital instrument display alongside an 11.9-inch center touchscreen infotainment system. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, as are a wireless phone charger, multiple USB-C charging ports, in-car WiFi, Biometric fingerprint authentication, and voice control. Simply say, “Hey, Mercedes,” and your GLE 63 S will come to life as a virtual voice assistant that can help you navigate to locations, read the news and weather, send text messages, and so much more.

All occupants will absolutely love the Burmester® 3D Sound System* with Dolby Atmos®, featuring 15 speakers and 710 watts of high-power audio, making everyone feel like they’re at a concert for one.

What Road & Track Thought 

“The GLE 63 S Coupe does pure luxury better than all the other ultra-high-performance SUVs. Being wrapped up in the luxury cabin on massaging seats, and with Dolby Atmos® music pumping through the Burmester® sound system*, was a serene experience. But there’s also enough performance to keep up with most sports cars when the road starts turning … That the grizzly bear inside this AMG® can be chill and friendly a majority of the time makes it a daily-driver contender.”

Safety Is Just as Important as Performance 

Speed is just one part of what makes the GLE 63 S Coupe great. Mercedes-AMG® also packed the SUV full of standard safety technology to protect you and your loved ones in nearly every situation. These features include PRESAFE®®, PRESAFE®® Sound, Attention Assist®, Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist, Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call Service, Adaptive High-beam Assist, PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist, rearview camera, Crosswind Assist, Adaptive Braking Technology, and Downhill Speed Regulation. Add in seven total airbags, and the GLE is a mighty safe machine.
