Summary
603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft power the updated Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Coupe and GLS 63, with the new V8 SUVs reaching 0-60 mph in 3.6 and 3.9 seconds.
A revised twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 now works with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system whose updated starter-generator adds up to 23 hp and 151 lb-ft for quicker response.
AMG also upgraded chassis hardware, pairing Ride Control+ air suspension with active roll stabilization that scans the road up to 1,000 times per second, plus full-time 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.
The refresh keeps the V8 alive after Mercedes-Benz backed away from its four-cylinder plug-in hybrid push, while styling and cabin changes remain modest and pricing is still undisclosed.
