Model guide

Mercedes GLE-Class Coupe (C167) overview

Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.

Design

The exterior styling of the updated GLE Coupe introduces refined elements while maintaining its recognizable, athletic profile. The front fascia features a modernized bumper design alongside a modified radiator grille that incorporates two horizontal louvers with detailed chrome inserts. The outer air intakes now feature a horizontal chrome grille, emphasizing the vehicle's width and stance on the road. The headlight clusters have been revised to display the signature Mercedes-Benz light flare. This updated lighting pattern presents two distinctive light points on the standard High-Performance LED units, increasing to four distinct points on the optional MULTIBEAM LED headlight system.

Interior

Inside the cabin, the updated GLE Coupe adopts the latest generation of the brand's steering wheel, which is notable for its touch-sensitive control surfaces located on the horizontal spokes. The air vents have been updated with premium chrome surrounds, elevating the dashboard's aesthetic. The luxurious five-passenger cabin can be equipped with a high-end Burmester surround sound audio system. Standard comfort equipment on higher-tier models includes climate-controlled front seats, an MBUX interior assistant, and temperature-regulated cupholders. The AMG models add specific details, such as an AMG logo projector that illuminates when the front doors are opened.

Performance

The C167 GLE Coupe features a fully electrified engine range, pairing nine-speed automatic transmissions with standard all-wheel drive. The lineup includes 48-volt mild hybrids with an integrated starter-generator and fourth-generation plug-in hybrids. Diesel options range from the 2.0-liter 300d to the robust 3.0-liter 450d. Plug-in hybrids include the 350de diesel and the 400e gasoline model. For performance enthusiasts, the AMG 53 features a 435-horsepower 3.0-liter inline-six, while the flagship AMG 63 S utilizes a 4.0-liter V8 generating 612 horsepower, capable of reaching 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds.

Practicality

Despite its sloping roofline, the GLE Coupe maintains strong practicality for daily use and family travel. The cabin provides comfortable seating for five adults, with a generous wheelbase of 2,935 mm ensuring adequate legroom for both front and rear passengers. Its overall dimensions—measuring 4,941 mm in length and nearly 2.2 meters in width including mirrors—translate to a substantial road presence. The standard 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system ensures the vehicle can handle varied weather conditions and light unpaved roads, making it highly versatile for year-round commuting and longer family trips.

Safety and tech

The technological suite includes the MBUX infotainment system with an augmented reality function for navigation available on select trims. An optional ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL system monitors cabin air quality and filters fine particles. Standard lighting comes via High-Performance LEDs, with advanced MULTIBEAM LED setups available or standard on AMG models. High-end variants like the GLE 63 S include a head-up display and the AIR-BALANCE package, while practical driver aids are integrated throughout the model range to assist with highway driving and low-speed maneuvering.

Buyer notes

Buyers considering the 2023 GLE Coupe should weigh the benefits of the plug-in hybrid models against the traditional mild-hybrid setups. The PHEVs, like the 400e and 350de, offer excellent efficiency for shorter commutes, while the robust diesel options like the 450d excel on highway journeys. Those prioritizing performance will gravitate toward the AMG 53 or the exceptionally quick AMG 63 S. It is important to note that standard equipment varies by market and specific trim level, so reviewing regional specifications for items like the MULTIBEAM headlights and Burmester audio is recommended.
