GLE Coupe 53 Pics

Snapped these today in my area here in Alabama. It’s the 53 model as confirmed by front brakes and my buddy at the factory. Exhaust tips are not the official. Also have pics of the reg GLE 53 I can post if desired but it’s fully uncovered and looks still basically like the reg GLE.

I'd love to see the regular GLE 53 been trying to decide between waiting for it or getting a 450....

Surprised that grill is on 53, would have thought it would be reserved for 63.

I'm sure they had to differentiate the AMG-Line from the AMG.
Now, will there be any differentiation between the AMG-Lite and the full throttle AMG other than rear hatch badging or exhaust tip shape?

GLE 63 vs. 53

I would expect differences in the front valance/intakes and perhaps a different spoiler. Personally I'm happy to get some AMG aesthetics on the lower levels, but it does tend to lessen the prestige of the top model.

I'm crossing my fingers the AMG-Lite will have a pale interior option in three years time when I return the lease on the 450 because I really like that Panamericana grille.

It's either you hate it or love it, the coupe version, that is. I have a 20 GLE AMG line on order. Been contemplating if I should buy the 19 GLE 43 AMG Coupe, the 20 GLE 450 (on ordered) or wait for the next GLE coupe.

Every time I see the GLE coupe, it draws my attention. Despite what other things of it, I absolutely love it. It reminds me of the Tesla X.

Anyhow, given that the interior went through a refresh with the MBUX, I have a feeling I will regret buying a 2019 with the command system, knowing its already dated.

Anyone know when the new GLE coupe is expected to be released?..specifically AMG?

The full new coupe is a good evolution. I think the new light are much like the new CLS. I have a pic of the side fully uncovered but sorry can’t post that. Sad thing is the pic i have is of a car that was damaged some how and is missing all the front body work.

Will there be a non-AMG version of the GLE coupe? My wife likes the look of the GLE coupe, but not the ‘hot-rod’ personality (loud muffler, wide tires).

She likes the look of the GLC coupe, but not the size.

Believe just 53/63 versions.

Since the reveal date is 8/28 here is a pic I have of the car uncovered but the car was damaged and is also missing the front end. This one will soon be crunched.
