Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe Pros

• A sporty car that you can use with family, and also for road-tripping
• Great-looking coupe SUV that stands out from the crowd. AMG-specific bits like wheels, grille, exhaust, steering wheel, etc. differentiate it from the regular GLE
• Enjoyable performance (0-100 km/h in just 5 seconds) coupled with sorted handling make it a proper fun-to-drive car
• Luxurious interiors - quality of materials is top-notch
• Loaded with features like 13 speakers, 590 watts Burmester sound system, temperature-controlled cupholders, 4-zone climate control, head-up display, transparent bonnet, heated & ventilated front seats and more
• Safety kit includes 9 airbags, a laundry list of safety aids, and driver assistance features like Active Brake Assist, Active Steering Assistant etc.

Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe Cons

• An on-road price tag of over 2 crore makes it very pricey
• Rear seats are not as comfortable as the regular GLE; headroom is compromised due to the coupe shape
• Suspension has a firm edge to it. With the 21-inch wheels, the ride is stiff, though not uncomfortable
• Missing features like electrically adjustable rear seats, comfort headrests for rear passengers, rear sunshade, and full-size spare tyre (has a space saver tyre)
• As expected, it guzzles fuel, even if you drive it easy...and especially when you drive it hard
