AMG GLE 63 S — Track Poise, Daily Ease

Mercedes-AMG has long been the brand of choice for enthusiasts who crave thunderous performance wrapped in everyday usability. The 2025 AMG GLE 63 S takes that formula and turns the volume even higher, creating a super-SUV that’s as comfortable at the Dubai Autodrome as it is in the school pickup lane.

Design updates for 2025 sharpen the GLE’s athletic profile. Larger air intakes, a Panamericana grille with vertical slats, and aerodynamic tweaks communicate power before the engine even fires up. New wheel designs and AMG-exclusive colors, such as a deep emerald metallic, further set it apart from its non-AMG siblings.

The heart of this beast is a handcrafted 4.0-liter V8 biturbo, paired with a mild-hybrid system that adds an electric boost. With over 600 hp on tap, the GLE 63 S rockets from 0–100 km/h in a staggering 3.9 seconds—supercar territory in an SUV body. Yet thanks to clever EQ Boost technology, low-speed driving feels smoother and more efficient than ever.

Inside, Mercedes balances luxury with motorsport DNA. Nappa leather AMG sport seats hug the driver, while carbon-fiber trim and AMG performance displays keep the adrenaline high. The latest MBUX infotainment includes augmented-reality navigation and track telemetry, letting you measure lap times as easily as you check traffic updates.

The chassis engineering is equally impressive. AMG Ride Control+ combines adaptive dampers with active roll stabilization, ensuring the SUV corners flat despite its size. Switch drive modes, and the GLE 63 S transforms: comfort mode softens everything for city cruising, while sport+ stiffens suspension and sharpens throttle response for track fun.

Safety and tech have not been overlooked. Driver-assistance systems include predictive braking, lane-centering, and even semi-autonomous traffic jam assist. Meanwhile, passengers enjoy a Burmester 3D surround-sound system and ambient lighting with 64 customizable colors.

Perhaps the GLE 63 S’s greatest strength is its duality. Few vehicles can deliver spine-tingling acceleration in the morning and then lull passengers into serenity during an evening drive home. It’s both a daily driver and a weekend thrill machine—a rare feat in today’s SUV landscape.

For Gulf buyers, the 2025 AMG GLE 63 S represents the ultimate statement: you don’t need to choose between practicality and performance. You can have both, wrapped in unmistakable AMG style.
