Power and Performance
Beneath the hood, both models house an electrified 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine producing 450 kW (612 hp), complemented by an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and 48-volt electrical system. The ISG adds 16 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque, enabling hybrid functions like boosting and recuperation.

The refreshed models feature distinctive MULTIBEAM LED headlights with Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus and prominently display the AMG emblem on the front, replacing the traditional Mercedes star. New 22-inch forged wheels with a ten twin-spoke design complement the high-performance composite braking system, featuring red-painted calipers with black “AMG” lettering. The GLE Coupé variant adds an exclusive AMG spoiler lip for enhanced sportiness.

The AMG Performance steering wheel features carbon-fiber design elements and MICROCUT microfiber grip sections. Climate-controlled multicontour front seats ensure year-round comfort, while the latest MBUX generation offers AMG-specific displays and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The Burmester® surround sound system, featuring 13 speakers and 590 watts output, provides premium audio quality with customizable settings for front and rear passengers. A head-up display transforms the windscreen into a digital cockpit, while MBUX Augmented Reality Navigation assists with complex traffic situations.
