Overview
Technical Specifications
Location

The 3.0-liter V-6 is force-fed by two turbochargers to the tune of 362 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. That’s 215 horsepower and 177 lb-ft less than the GLE43’s more powerful stablemate, the GLE63 S coupe, makes from its 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-8, but this junior AMG’s 5.3-second blast to 60 mph is enough to put a smile on any driver’s face. It’s quicker to 60 mph than the last BMW X6 xDrive35i we tested, which managed the run in 5.7 seconds. The GLE43 was slightly slower, however, than the nearly identical Mercedes-Benz GLE450 coupe that we tested last year; that model changed its name to Mercedes-AMG GLE43 (no Benz) after a single selling season.

Despite its impressive performance, the GLE43 coupe is surprisingly easy to live with on a day-to-day basis. Its 23-cubic-foot cargo hold is 15 cubes smaller than that of the conventional, square-back GLE SUV yet matches that of the Mercedes-Benz E-class station wagon, a car no one questions on practicality grounds. The GLE’s sloping backlight does pose a problem for hauling taller items, cutting deeply into the available space behind the rear seats. Still, we easily fit enough supplies for a day of tailgating at a University of Michigan football game. A 115-volt AC outlet—oddly positioned in the right-rear passenger footwell—powered our Crock-Pot full of pregame chili while cooled front cupholders kept our beverages icy. (They’re heated, too, for those who’d prefer coffee or cocoa.) But it was the GLE43’s optional $4550 Bang & Olufsen 900-watt audio system that turned out to be the life of the party, drowning out the weeping of nearby Illinois fans.

The view forward from the driver’s seat is no different than in the non-coupified GLE, but looking aft is another matter. Wide roof pillars and narrow windows make the standard blind-spot monitor necessary. Rear-seat headroom also is less than in the boxier GLE, but only by 0.7 inch, and most adults find the back seats accommodating and comfortable.
