Overview

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Maserati Levante GTS, the BMW X6 M, and the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR. With standalone trim, the AMG GLE 63 carries a base price of MSRP $102,550. Its 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a 7-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 550 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 4.2 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 7,200 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the AMG GLE 63 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 15 MPG, which is just average for the class, with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 7.2 inches.

Buying Advice

Only one trim is available, so we recommend adding available features such as a panoramic sunroof, a trailer hitch, tri-zone climate control, multi-contour front seats with massage, ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats.
