The coupe crossover niche has been dominated by BMW’s X6 since its introduction back in 2009, but that came to an end when Mercedes-Benz rolled out a coupe SUV of its own for the 2015 model year. Previewed by the 2014 Concept Coupe SUV launched at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show, the 2016 GLE Coupe — previously rumored to carry the MLC name — follows in the footsteps of the X6 by being a four-door coupe that rides on an SUV platform. With the GLE Coupe ready to hit the assembly line in early 2015, Mercedes-Benz unveiled its competitor for the high-performance X6 M: the GLE63 AMG Coupe.
Not surprising, the GLE63 AMG Coupe is designed around AMG’s already classic recipe. The crossover receives a host of upgrades front to rear, including new bumpers, a revised exhaust system, and a set of lightweight wheels. AMG’s tried-and-true, 5.5-liter, V-8 engine with more than 550 ponies finds its way under the GLE’s sheet metal, along with an enhanced suspension system.
