Overview

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the BMW X6 M, the Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and the Maserati Levante GTS. With standalone trim, the AMG GLE 63 carries a base price of MSRP of $103,050. Its 5.5L Twin-Turbo 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 14 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

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 is quite heavy on pockets compared to less powerful but nearly equally luxurious cheaper models on the GLE-Class. However, it does bring a lot of luxury amenities for the price tag. On the other hand, the price soars as you start adding options. Hence, we suggest you should check out the AMG GLE 43 before pulling the final trigger on the AMG GLE 63.
