MSRP: From $97,000Use the table of contents to jump to a sectionOverviewThe 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE-Class midsize luxury performance SUV and Coupe gets a bigger personality transplant than the usual grille-and-wheel facelift. The AMG GLE 53 Hybrid is now a plug-in hybrid, pairing a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with an electric motor for 577 hp and 553 lb-ft. Above it, the AMG GLE 63 S keeps the hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, producing 603 hp and 627 lb-ft. Both use a nine-speed automatic and AMG Performance 4Matic+ all-wheel drive.Below them sit the GLE 350, GLE 450, GLE 500e and GLE 580, but the AMG range is where sensible shoes become running spikes. For 2027, Mercedes offers the GLE 53 Hybrid as an SUV and Coupe, while the GLE 63 S is the V8-powered SUV flagship.2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Hybrid SUV in Dark Petrol rear angled viewMercedes-AMGWhat's New for 2027The 2027 AMG GLE-Class is refreshed inside and out, with new head- and taillights and restyled fascias. The cabin gets upgraded infotainment software and more trim options. The AMG headline lives under the hood. The GLE 53's 3.0-liter inline-six now works with a 400-volt plug-in hybrid system, lifting combined output to 577 hp. The GLE 63 S sticks with gas V8 power at 603 hp, while the lineup also gains new cabin technology and freshened styling.2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S CoupeMercedes-BenzExteriorThe AMG GLE looks more serious without wandering into cartoon territory. Fresh fascias, AMG-specific front-end detailing and larger air intakes sharpen the 2027 design, while available wheels stretch to 22 inches. The GLE 63 S gets its own reworked front end, keeping the V8 model visually distinct from the 53 Hybrid.The upright SUV shape remains the practical choice. It looks recognizably GLE, only now there is less country-club politeness and more autobahn intent, without sacrificing the full-height cargo area for a coupe roofline. The swept-back Coupe is still available.2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Hybrid in Dark PetrolMercedes-AMGInteriorMercedes goes all-in on screens for 2027. The MBUX Superscreen places three 12.3-inch displays under one glass panel for the instrument cluster, center infotainment, and front passenger. AMG-specific graphics, a flat-bottom AMG Performance steering wheel, and sportier trim keep the cabin from feeling like a rolling electronics store.Rear-seat space remains adult-friendly, and the SUV offers 33.3 cubic feet of cargo room behind the second row and 74.9 cubic feet with it folded. The Coupe has a smaller trunk (see figures below). A panoramic sunroof is standard, while the available Pinnacle Trim adds four-zone climate control, Air Balance cabin purification and fragrance, heated and cooled front cupholders, and Magic Vision Control.2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Hybrid with Tartufo Brown and black interiorMercedes-AMGPrice Range and Best Value TrimTrimMSRPGLE 53 SUV$97,000GLE 53 SUV Pinnacle Trim$98,700GLE 63 S 4Matic+ SUVTo Be AnnouncedWith just two powertrains, the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE-Class' price range isn't extensive, but the base GLE 53 Hybrid SUV is the sweet spot because $97,000 already buys the important hardware: 577 hp, AMG Performance 4Matic+, AMG Ride Control+ air suspension, the nine-speed transmission, and MBUX Superscreen. The $1,700 Pinnacle Trim mainly adds comfort equipment, so the base 53 keeps the strongest mix of price, features, and power.2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE-Class Key SpecsPowertrain OptionsSpecificationGLE 53GLE 63 SEngine3.0L turbo inline 6 PHEV + 135-kW electric motor4.0L V8 bi-turbo mild hybridHorsepower577 hp combined603 hpTorque553 lb-ft combined627 lb-ftTransmission9-speed TCT9-speed TCTDrivetrainAMG Performance 4Matic+ AWDAMG Performance 4Matic+ AWD0-60 mph4.1 sec3.6 secFuel Economy (MPG)ModelCityHighwayCombinedGLE53 SUVTBATBATBAGLE53 CoupeTBATBATBAGLE63 S SUVTBATBATBAGLE63 S CoupeTBATBATBADimensionsSpecificationSUVCoupeLength194.5 in195.3 inWidth (w/o mirrors)79.7 in79.4 inHeight70.2 in67.7 inWheelbase117.9 in115.6 inCargo Volume33.3 – 74.9 cu-ft31.6 – 64.1 cu-ftWarrantyCoverageDurationLimited Warranty4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain Warranty4 years / 50,000 milesComplimentary MaintenanceNot includedPros and ConsPros:The GLE 53 jumps to 577 hp while adding plug-in capabilityThe GLE 63 S keeps a 603-hp V8 and an estimated 3.6-second 0-60 timeBoth SUVs tow up to 7,700 pounds and get the new MBUX SuperscreenCons:The GLE 53 Hybrid weighs 6,107 poundsComplimentary scheduled maintenance is not included~$100K price tagsVerdictThe 2027 AMG GLE modernizes without erasing its two personalities. The GLE 53 Hybrid becomes the technology-heavy choice, with enough power to make the old 53 seem distinctly under-caffeinated, while the GLE 63 S keeps the V8 thunder that makes an AMG SUV feel properly excessive.For most buyers, the GLE 53 Hybrid SUV makes the stronger case. It starts at $97,000, packs 577 hp, matches the 63 S with a 7,700-pound tow rating, and gets the full 2027 cabin overhaul. The 63 S remains the one for buyers who view 603 hp and a hand-built V8 as necessities rather than indulgences.2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S CoupeMercedes-BenzCompetitorsBMW X5 M/X6 MPorsche Cayenne GTSAudi SQ7/SQ8
