Nearly a year has passed since the debut of the AMG GLE 53 Coupe, a stunning SUV coupe characterized by its flowing roofline that gracefully extends to the sides and rear.

In the Indian market, the GLE Coupe is exclusively available in the 53 AMG variant, mirroring its pre-facelift predecessor. While the overall look and cabin of the GLE 53 Coupe facelift remain consistent with the standard GLE facelift, a few subtle tweaks and feature enhancements differentiate it from the previous generation.
