With the 2019 GLE 53 4Matic Coupe, the german manufacturer has changed the main component of its predecessor, installing a new straight-six engine. With a 3.0-liter displacement , fed by two turbochargers and an electric compressor, the power ouput is quite remarkable: 435 hp and 520 Nm (383.5 lb-ft) of torque. But this is not all. There is also an EQ Boost starter-generator, which produces an additional 22 hp and 250 Nm (184.3 lb-ft) of torque for a short period of time, but enough for a traffic light drag race.
From the outside, the shape of the 2019 GLE 53 Coupe is almost the same as the previous generation, but new headlights and better looking taillights are now part of the exterior package. To differentiate from its bigger brother, the GLE 63 4Matic Coupe, the 53 has round exhaust pipes and black brake calipers. The 63 version has square exhaust tips and red brake calipers.
Inside the cabin, the GLE 53 offers bucket-type seats in the front, with AMG badges on the backrests. The infotainment system is based on the latest MBUX and has numerous AMG functions. It can also combine the instrument cluster and the touchscreen media display into one single unit.
While the “Classic” and “Sport” driving modes are standard on the other GLE versions, the AMG also a “Supersport” and a “Discreet” mode.
