After bringing the facelifted Mercedes-Benz GLE to India in late 2023, the German marque has now introduced its updated and sportier version, the AMG GLE 53 Coupe, too. It is available in a single variant priced at Rs 1.85 crore (ex-showroom pan-India).

Sporty By Design

Like before, the AMG avatar of the Mercedes-Benz GLE continues with its stylish SUV coupe body style (the standard GLE is a straight-up SUV). The facelifted AMG GLE 53 comes with updated elements for the LED DRLs and the lower portion of the front bumper has been tweaked as well. Another small revision is that the facelifted AMG GLE 53 Coupe gets the ‘AMG’ emblem instead of the Mercedes-Benz star on the hood.

In profile, it has 21-inch 5-twin-spoke units as standard while there’s also an option of bigger 22-inch forged 10-twin-spoke alloy wheels. It also gets revised LED taillights. The sportier SUV-coupe is also available in two new paint options: Alpine Grey Uni and Sodalite Blue Metallic.

Minimal Changes Inside The Cabin

The German marque has given the 2024 AMG GLE 53 Coupe two cabin theme options: Bahia Brown and Black, andMacchiato Beige and Black. Other significant updates on the inside include the latest AMG-specific steering wheel (also available in a carbon fibre finish) and refreshed seat upholstery.
