The redesigned 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is coming to town! A powerful engine, enhanced connectivity features, and luxurious interior treatments are among the highlights for the new GLE 63 S Coupe. The new GLE 63 S Coupe joins both the GLE 53 Coupe and GLE 43 Coupe. In that lineup, our choice is probably the new GLE 63 S Coupe, but the Mercedes-AMG GT 43 4-Door Coupe is also a winner in our book.
Hard as it might be to pick a favorite, here is a look at the new GLE 63 S Coupe.
Engine & Powertrain
Under the hood is a 4.0-liter V8 bi-turbo engine mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT nine-speed automatic. The handcrafted engine features an electrified EQ Boost starter-generator and a 48-volt onboard electrical system. The combination produces 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft. of torque, and sends the GLE 63 S Coupe to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.
“The 48-volt system and electric motor enable immediate access to horsepower and torque, ensuring the best possible driving performance and smooth power delivery with the lowest possible energy consumption,” reads a statement from Mercedes-AMG.
Ride & Handling
The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe employs something called Active Ride Control. The system uses two independently operating, electromechanical actuators at the front and rear axles, each with an integrated planetary gear. According to Mercedes-AMG, this design reduces body roll and increases ride comfort. AMG active engine mounts and a new electronic rear differential are standard as well.
Interior Treatments
Inside the GLE 63 S Coupe, drivers will find both a luxurious and sporty ambience. The Nappa leather seats include special AMG-badging and additional modifications to provide optimal lateral support. The three-spoke AMG Performance steering wheel with aluminum shift paddles comes standard and is ergonomically-optimized for dynamic driving.
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system is standard. MBUX consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 12.3-inch central touchscreen display, and three different display styles with bright, colorful graphics. The MBUX interface also supports smartphone integration and natural language voice controls.
