FAST FACTS
"We can't resist taking this opportunity to plug the GLE 580, which costs $40k less and uses largely the same turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine — but if nothing less than Benz's best will do, we get it, and we'll happily endorse the AMG GLE 63 S. It makes all the right noises and gets you to 60 mph in a preposterous 3.7 seconds. About the only thing it's missing is the optional third-row seat that's widely available in lesser GLEs."—Ranked #3 out of 4 Midsize High-Performance SUVs
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Although we're not fans of the lesser AMG GLE 53, we have a soft spot for the AMG GLE 63 S. Sure, you can get a twin-turbo V8 in the GLS 580, but if you want to go all out, the GLE 63 S is a great way to do it. AMG cranks up the V8 to such an extent that you get to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, which is incredible for any vehicle, let alone a nearly three-ton SUV. Notably, the third-row seat is not available on the AMG GLE 63 S.
