The latest spy photos of the recently exposed new Mercedes-Benz GLE can now be seen in its AMG high-performance version. According to the plan, the new car will be released at the end of 2022 and launched on the market in 2023. Technically, this is also the first time we have seen a Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 high-performance model.
The camouflage-wrapped areas of the new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 are the headlights and taillights, and the body shape is largely based on the design of the current CLE-class crossover SUV. The new car features the same front trim and grille design; the headlights appear to be a little thinner; the only update is the new taillights, but retain the same shape as the current model, except that the reversing lights move from the outside edge of the rear trim panel to the trunk cover; camouflage spans the area between the lenses, seemingly indicating that the chrome strips on the current model may have completely changed or disappeared. Therefore, compared to the regular version, the change is very slight.
The interior changes are equally minor, except for slightly different details. The new flat-bottom steering wheel spokes are different, using the same style as the CLS 53 and EQS 53, while the buttons on the centre console may also have some changes, and the new car will certainly benefit from the latest infotainment systems and upgraded driver assistance systems.
Since the current GLE has been released and launched at the end of the 632019 for less than two years, the new car has nothing new in terms of power. We can expect the familiar 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine to produce 571 hp (420 kW) and 750 Nm, while the S Sport boosts the figures to 612 hp (450 kW) and 850 Nm.
