If you want an SUV that delivers supercar performance, world-class luxury, and head-turning style, the 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe fits the bill. It’s bold, it’s fast, and it’s built for those who refuse to compromise—whether in the left lane or the valet line.

This midsize luxury SUV coupe blends aggressive AMG engineering with handcrafted interiors and advanced tech. It's not for everyone—but if you appreciate true driving engagement wrapped in luxury, keep reading.

Performance That Dominates

At its heart is a handcrafted 4.0L V8 bi-turbo engine, now paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Output? A jaw-dropping 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. That means this nearly 5,500-pound SUV launches from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. That’s not just fast for an SUV—that’s fast, period.

With AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive, adaptive air suspension, and dynamic drive modes like Sport and Sport+, this AMG stays planted in corners and feels confident in all weather. It can also tow up to 7,700 pounds, making it just as capable at the lake as it is on the autobahn.

But all that muscle comes at a price—fuel economy averages just 16 mpg combined. Then again, no one buys an AMG to save at the pump.

Crafted to Impress

Mercedes lets buyers go beyond standard luxury with MANUFAKTUR, its high-end customization program. Our test car came in a stunning Cote d’Azur Light Blue Metallic ($6,500) with Yacht Blue Exclusive Nappa Leather interior—part of a $9,000 Signature Interior Package that turns the cabin into a mobile lounge.

Inside, the multicontour seats offer massage, ventilation, rapid heating, and embroidered AMG crests. There’s even a biometric fingerprint sensor to personalize your drive settings and improve security. Soft-close doors and an optional Acoustic Comfort Package help keep road noise out, while 64-color ambient lighting sets the tone inside.

Yes, it seats five. Yes, there’s a panoramic sunroof. But make no mistake—this SUV is built for the driver first.

Next-Level Technology

Mercedes packs the cabin with smart tech, including the latest MBUX infotainment system with dual high-resolution displays, Burmester premium sound, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Want something? Just say “Hey Mercedes” and it responds.

It’s also loaded with safety and driver-assist features. Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist, Surround View Parking, and optional Level 2 semi-autonomous driving via the $1,950 Driver Assistance Package make the GLE 63 S Coupe one of the most advanced vehicles in its class.

Practicality With a Catch

As stylish as it is, the sloping roofline limits rear headroom and cargo space. You’ll get 33.3 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row, and 67.8 cu ft with the seats folded—down about five cubic feet from the standard GLE SUV.

This isn’t the SUV for large families or road-trippers looking to haul bulky gear. It’s for those who want performance, presence, and prestige—all in one.

Pricing and Final Thoughts

Pricing for the AMG GLE 63 S Coupe starts at $132,150, but fully optioned—as tested here—it reaches $159,600. It’s a premium price, but you’re buying more than a badge. You’re buying one of the most powerful and customizable luxury SUVs on the market.

Warranty coverage is solid: 4 years/50,000 miles, with 24-hour roadside assistance. However, scheduled maintenance is not included, which is something buyers should plan for.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is a luxury SUV for the unapologetically bold. It delivers explosive performance, next-level technology, and interior craftsmanship that rivals far more expensive exotic brands.

If you’re deciding between this and rivals like the BMW X6M, Audi RSQ8, or Porsche Cayenne Coupe, Mercedes offers something they can’t: true personalization and handcrafted power.

This isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a statement. And for drivers who demand the best of both power and luxury, the GLE 63 S Coupe delivers.
