2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE gets a mid-cycle refresh rather than a full redesign. The headline change is a broader update that sharpens the exterior, strengthens the GLE 53 and adds substantially more standard equipment.
About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE
Second-generation GLE SUV and second-generation GLE Coupe, mid-cycle refresh year; the SUV generation began for 2020 and the Coupe generation for 2021.
Mercedes-AMG positions the GLE as a luxury midsize performance SUV combining strong turbocharged engines, fully variable AWD, an upscale technology-focused cabin and suspension tuning intended to balance daily comfort with controlled handling. The conventional SUV body emphasizes passenger and cargo usefulness, while the Coupe uses a lower roofline for a more dramatic appearance. Both target drivers who want AMG acceleration and road manners without giving up five-seat practicality.
The GLE 53 is the more everyday-focused version, pairing a 429-hp turbocharged six-cylinder engine with adaptive air suspension in either an upright SUV or lower-roof Coupe body. The performance-focused GLE 63 S uses a 603-hp twin-turbo V8 and adds features such as active roll control, massaging front seats and a head-up display.

“The car maneuvers well. Excelleration is good but could be improved (not as smooth as some others I have owned, or test driven. Comfort of vehicle is above average with the front seats contouring to your body making the driving experience exceptional.”
“The only complaint I have is that the controls on the steering wheel are cumbersome for a person with large hands as I have. Constantly making changes with my fingers touching the controls inadvertently. More room!!!”
