Mercedes-AMG have begun testing their new-generation high performance GLE 63
model. This latest batch of spy images does
give us our best look yet at the model's Panamericana grille and headlight
graphics.
The AMG version of the GLE is clearly beefier from a
visual standpoint than the regular car. It's also wearing larger wheels and
brakes compared to other prototypes spotted recently, and has a wider and more
aggressive front spoiler.
Inside, it will feature the same dual-screen setup,
console handles and quad-vent design as the regular GLE, which already showed
off its partially-covered interior a few months back. Of course, expect
Mercedes-AMG to add their own touches, such as a sportier steering wheel plus
all the AMG-specific trims.
Power will be available in two separate output
stages, specifically 571 PS for the GLE 63 and 612 PS for the
flagship GLE 63 S version. The 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine should remain
unchanged from the one that powers the latest E63 and E63 S models.
The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 will arrive at a later date
than the 2019 GLE, which won't be revealed until sometime next year. Stuttgart
will aim the GLE 63 at BMW's all-new 2019 X5 M, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo, plus
the rest of the mid-size fast SUV gang.
