**Engine, Tran20smission, and Performance**
The GLE53 features a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Its engine is supplemented by an electric supercharger that's powered by a 48-volt electrical system.
Combined with the GLE53's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine, the SUV's powertrain produces 429 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque.
That setup helped catapult an earlier GLE53 we tested to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.0 seconds at 107 mph. Compare that with a Benz-branded 362-hp GLE450 we tested, which did the deeds in 5.3 seconds and 13.9 seconds at 100 mph, respectively. The GLE63 S generates 603 horses with the twin-turbo V-8. The GLE53 also features a trick suspension consisting of an air-bag system coupled with active anti-roll bars that's said to provide corner-carving capabilities without sacrificing ride quality.
The GLE53 coupe we drove felt smooth even on uneven roads. Switching its drive mode to Sport or Sport Plus stiffened up the suspension enough to help keep the heavy family hauler stable when the pavement coiled.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, two giant digital displays dominate the dashboard of every GLE-class.
The interior environs are sportier than the standard Benz models, though, as the AMG versions come with sport seats with red contrasting stitching, a sport steering wheel, red seatbelts, and aluminum accents.
The cabin is spacious too, even in the back seat.
A third row of seats is optional with the SUV's square back body style.
The GLE53 offers the same cargo space as the GLE450, which means it has space for a whopping 11 carry-on suitcases behind the second row of seats and, with the rear seats stowed, room for up to 26 cases. However, the GLE53 coupe's sloping roofline results in a loss of 5 cubic feet of cargo space, and the area held two fewer suitcases with all seats in place and five fewer with the rear row stowed.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Twin 12.3-inch infotainment displays dominate the GLE's dashboard and, just as in lesser Benz-branded GLE-classes, the AMG models support the latest MBUX software interface. The driver and front-seat passenger can interact with the system via the touchscreen, the center-console-mounted controller, or by simply saying "Hey Mercedes" and then giving a voice command. We've found the system to be a bit clunky to use, but owners should acclimate after a few weeks behind the wheel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is standard, as is a Wi-Fi hotspot.
