AMG models use petrol engines with mild-hybrid assist. fuel use higher on 63 variants than 53
AMG GLE Coupé models run petrol powertrains, often with mild-hybrid boost. Official combined figures for the 53 sit around the mid-10 l/100 km range depending on wheels and load. the 63 uses more. Real-world use varies with driving style and options. Diesel and plug-in options exist in the broader GLE range but AMG sticks mainly to petrol.
Servicing follows the ASSYST PLUS system. Intervals are generally once a year or every 15,500 miles, whichever comes first. Mercedes ServiceCare packages can spread costs. Dealer or specialist care keeps the air suspension, 4MATIC+ and electronics in check. Tyre and brake wear is higher on performance AMG setups.
Safety is strong. The related GLE scored five Euro NCAP stars in 2019 with 91% adult and 90% child protection. the Coupé carries the same rating after checks. Standard kit includes PRE-SAFE, Attention Assist, Active Brake Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping, Crosswind Assist and a full set of airbags. Optional Driving Assistance packages add more automated functions. IIHS Top Safety Pick+ status applies to many 2020+ builds.
Living with the car means enjoying the quiet cabin when acoustic packages are fitted and the supportive AMG seats on long drives. Keep software updated via Mercedes me for assistance systems. Regular checks on the adaptive damping and all-wheel drive maintain the composed ride. High-quality interior materials hold up well with normal care.
