The new Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC+ - The SUV trendsetter now with even more power and precision


Affalterbach. Mercedes-AMG launches its performance offering for the new GLE generation with the #gle534matic (combined fuel consumption:
9.3l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 212g/km) The basis for the signature #amg driving dynamics is provided by the 320 kW (435 hp)
3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine, the fully variable all-wheel drive, the agile 9-speed automatic transmission, the AMG-specific drive programs and the #amg ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL air suspension based on #amg RIDE CONTROL+ with electro-mechanical roll stabilisation. Thanks to the
AMG-specific radiator grille with 15 vertical strips, it is immediately obvious that it is part of the #amg family. Numerous options such as the selectable performance exhaust system and the #amg steering wheel buttons make the driving experience even more emotional.

The stated figures were determined in accordance with the prescribed measuring method. These are the "NEDC CO2 figures" according to Art.  No. 1 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1153. The fuel consumption figures were calculated based on these figures.

Always staying nicely in line: six-cylinder engine with twin charging

Its centrepiece is the electrified 3.0-litre engine featuring twin-turbocharging and an electric auxiliary compressor. The 6-cylinder in-line engine generates 320 kW (435 hp) and delivers maximum torque of 520 Nm. Its EQ Boost starter generator briefly provides an additional 16 kW of output plus 250 Nm of torque and additionally feeds the 48 V on-board electrical system.

The EQ Boost starter-alternator combines a starter motor and alternator in a powerful electric motor and is fitted between the engine and transmission. This innovation as well as the intelligent charging via an electric auxiliary compressor and an exhaust gas turbocharger all have the same goal: to enhance the hallmark #amg performance and driving dynamics, but also to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. And this move has been a successful one: The #gle534matic accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.3 seconds and achieves an electronically limited speed of 250 km/h.

It really turns on the pressure: electric auxiliary compressor

The electric auxiliary compressor builds up a high level of boost pressure without any delays until the big exhaust gas turbocharger kicks in. As a result the 3.0-litre engine reacts extremely spontaneously and provides a dynamic response without turbo lag. An additional bonus is the high level of refinement of the six-cylinder in-line engine.

It will be electrifying: 48 V on-board electrical system
