Mercedes-AMG GLE-Class Performance Overview

AMG’s GLE-Class performance SUV range spans 2016 to 2024 here, covered by 14 verified tests across four model years. It opened with the first AMG-badged GLE variants using twin-turbo V8 and turbocharged six-cylinder power, setting an early benchmark when the 2016 AMG GLE63 S 4MATIC reached 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. At the other end of the early spread, the 2017 AMG GLE43 4MATIC needed 5.4 seconds, showing the gap between the entry AMG six-cylinder and the top V8 model.

From 2020, the V167 generation moved the AMG GLE-Class into electrified territory with hybridized AMG 53 and 63 S variants, built around the M256 inline-six and M177 V8, with outputs ranging from 429 to 603 hp. In this era, the 2021 AMG GLE53 4MATIC+ Coupe posted 4.7 seconds to 60 mph, while the 2021 AMG GLE63 S 4MATIC+ reset the line’s pace at 3.4 seconds and ran the quarter-mile in 11.9 seconds at 115.2 mph. Today, V167 remains the current shape of AMG GLE performance, with the quickest current-generation result still the 2021 AMG GLE63 S 4MATIC+ at 3.4 seconds, and the overall average standing at 4.34 seconds to 60 mph.
