GLE 2023

The Mercedes-Benz GLE is a fantastic option for a luxury SUV. Mercedes’ GLE-class SUV drops the Benz badge in favor of the AMG treatment, which gives the mid-size SUV additional power, a suspension arrangement geared toward performance, and a few aesthetic changes. Mercedes-AMG provides the GLE-class cars in GLE53, and GLE63 S trim levels, as well as hatchback and fastback body types. The first vehicle has a 429-hp forced induction straight-six engine, but the second has a 603-hp twin-turbocharged V-8. All-wheel drive is standard on both vehicles. The hunched-back Mercedes-AMG GLE53 and GLE63 S Coupes cost more than their square-backed equivalents despite having less cargo space. Join us as we explore the features of the brand-new 2023 Mercedes-AMG GLE-Class at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, Arizona. Continue reading for more information.    

What’s New in the 2023 Mercedes-AMG GLE-Class?

The AMG performance brand has been around for 55 years this year. In honor of this, Mercedes-AMG will offer the GLE-class in 2023 in a limited-edition Edition 55 configuration. The unique vehicle has distinguishing features like side-mounted Edition 55 graphics, matte-gray 22-inch wheels with Edition 55-only center caps, and a steering wheel with commemorative badging.

Infotainment and Safety Features

Like lesser Benz-branded GLE classes, the GLE’s dashboard is dominated by twin 12.3-inch infotainment displays. The AMG variants also offer the most recent MBUX software interface. The touchscreen, the joystick installed in the center console, or a simple “Hey Mercedes” followed by a voice command are all ways the driver and front-seat passenger can communicate with the system. Although few drivers find it a little challenging to operate, owners should become accustomed to it after a few weeks of driving. Integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is standard, as is a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Will the GLE change?

On August 26, 2022, Mercedes-Benz announced a regular model year update (MY2023) for the GLE, suggesting it will launch the facelifted GLE as a 2024 model in 2023.

Is Mercedes GLE discontinued?

Mercedes also dropped the V8-powered GLE 63 S trim for 2022, though this model is expected to return for 2023. Here are the key changes for the Mercedes-Benz GLE over the last few years: 2022: automatic high-beam headlights added to standard features list; GLE 63 S trim dropped.

When did GLE get redesigned?

Since April 2015, the M-Class has been renamed to the GLE with the release of the facelifted W166 model, in an effort to harmonize Mercedes-Benz SUV nameplates by aligning it with the E-Class.

Is GLE good car to buy?

Overview. Like the mid-size Mercedes SUVs that came before, the 2022 GLE-class delivers the latest tech, a spacious interior, and more off-road capability than most owners will dare to explore. Most models come with two rows of seats, both of which are comfortable and luxurious.
