MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GLE

The 2026 AMG GLE is a five-seat, right-hand-drive performance SUV built by Mercedes-Benz in the United States. The UK range comprises six variants: four 3.0-litre six-cylinder models and two 4.0-litre V8 models. The range combines AMG performance, 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, advanced driver assistance systems and MBUX infotainment. The GLE 53 HYBRID variants are plug-in hybrids, while the standard GLE 53 and GLE 63 S variants use 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance.

Trim & Transmission Lineup

Dimensions

The plug-in hybrid variants have a higher kerb weight than the mild-hybrid models because of their larger traction battery and associated electric-drive hardware. Boot capacity can also vary slightly by powertrain and equipment.

Battery & Charging

Mild-hybrid variants

The AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ and AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC+ use a 0.9 kWh 48-volt mild-hybrid battery. It is charged automatically through energy recuperation and engine operation. It is not designed for external charging and does not provide a separate WLTP electric-only driving range.

Plug-in hybrid variants

The AMG GLE 53 HYBRID 4MATIC+ uses a 31.2 kWh high-voltage traction battery. Published WLTP electric range for the GLE 53 HYBRID SUV is approximately 93–101 km (58–63 miles), subject to wheel, tyre and equipment specification.

The exact certified WLTP result depends on wheel and tyre selection, optional equipment, ambient temperature, driving style and vehicle load.

• The system supports controlled driving on unpaved roads, gravel tracks and moderate off-road terrain.
• Rear-axle steering improves low-speed manoeuvrability and high-speed stability.
• The GLE is not equipped with a dedicated low-range transfer case or heavy-duty ladder-frame off-road architecture.
• Maximum ground clearance varies with suspension mode, load and vehicle speed.
