The GLE 53 Coupe is based on the GLE facelift that was introduced in India in November last year. The Coupe gets redesigned LED headlights and tail lamp clusters. Being the AMG version, this SUV features a sporty front fascia with a more aggressive front grille and bumper.

The interior of the GLE 53 Coupe looks similar to the standard GLE. It features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and Mercedes’ latest MBUX infotainment system. Other features include a 360-degree camera, a ‘transparent bonnet’, blind spot assist and 9-airbags. The Acoustic Comfort Package, AMG Track Pace app and AMG high-performance braking system are some of the options offered to customers.



The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe is powered by a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that makes 430 BHP and 560 Nm. The engine is paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system that provides an additional boost of 20 BHP and 200 Nm. It comes with a 9-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system.

Nice car, but this is absurd pricing. Mercedes has got really greedy with pricing in India!

Time for BMW to bring back the X5M Competition - A 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine putting out 617 HP and 750 NM - Complete with Twin Scroll Bi-Turbo and racetrack cooling system. Will scorch the GL53 with a 0-100 time of 3.8 seconds. It may not be much more expensive, as BMW is less greedy and they are often able to do local assembly of even low volume models. For comparison:


2024 GLE 53 AMG

• Price of GLE53 AMG in India - Rs. 1.85 crores - 2,23,000 USD
• Price of GLE53 AMG in USA - USD 90,000
• Price in India - 250% of price in USA

2020 BMW X5M Competition

• Price in USA when launched in USA - 1,22,000 USD
• Price in India at launch in 2020 - Rs. 2.02 Crores = 2,43,000 USD based on exchange rates prevalent then.
• Prices in India = 200% of price in USA.
