2024 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Review: Stuck In The Middle – SlashGear

The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 sounds like it should be a best-of-all-worlds blend of performance and comfort, but in practice, this SUV just feels compromised. The high-strung nature of the engine and transmission don’t mix with the otherwise relaxed dynamics. I suppose the GLE 53 makes sense if you just want the look and bragging rights of AMG ownership, since it’s $40,950 less expensive than the GLE 63 S. But is that really a strong enough reason to buy?

The aforementioned GLE 450e plug-in hybrid offers the benefit of real electric range, and at $70,650, it’s $17,250 cheaper than the GLE 53. However, the real treasure of the lineup is the GLE 580, which has more power (510 hp, 538 lb-ft), better character (hello, V8 engine) and it’s every bit as luxurious, all for the same price ($50 less expensive to start, actually). Don’t care as much about performance? A GLE 350 or GLE 450 will almost certainly suit you just fine. Want more bang for your buck elsewhere? BMW will sell you a V8 in the X5 M60i for only a couple thousand dollars more.

In a vacuum, the AMG GLE 53 is pretty sweet. But with so much overlap across the lineup, what could be a standout star instead feels like a hodgepodge of other GLEs’ better attributes.
