The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC + arrives before its debut in Geneva

It seemed to mix SUVs with high performance was not going to give good results, but curiously it is what the market demands the most. Some of the best examples are the Lamborghini Urus or Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Verde . However, there are manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz , with its AMG division, or BMW, with the "M" branch, which also have a full range of this type of vehicles.

Specifically, the last member added to this race is the Mercedes-AMG GLW 53 4MATIC + . As we all know, the Mercedes-Benz GLE is the model that rivals the Audi Q7 or BMW X7 and as expected, needed a high performance version. Therefore, those responsible for AMG have set to work to season one of the most complete SUVs in the premium universe.

6 cylinders in line + twin-turbo + electric compressor = 435 HP and 520 Nm

Until nothing, AMG He signed his models with V8 blocks, but due to pollution regulations, they have had to change their strategy. For the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC + have decided to have a gasoline block with 3.0 liters of displacement and six cylinders in line. To offer the 435 HP and 520 Nm of maximum torque delivered, have resorted to a double turbo and a electric compressor that "should" reduce the lag of the turbo. p>

But also, to reduce (if your owner cares) the consumption, have integrated a device called EQ Boost . Basically it is a micro hybridisation system by a 48 volt electrical network and a 16 kW reversible alternator motor. All in all, the benefits of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC + are heart attack. Accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.3 seconds and sign 250 kilometers per hour (electronically self-limited).

This potential is managed through an automatic transmission. In this case, they have used the automatic 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT (TCT = Torque-Clutch Transmission) that ensures extremely fast transitions. Finally, we can not forget that it has a 4MATIC + all-wheel drive system and has a AMG Active Ride Control sports suspension with active anti-roll bars.

Aggressiveness on the outside, elegance on the inside

If the technical part of the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 4MATIC + impresses, the exterior design and interior will not be less. In his body there are missing elements in black that enhance its sporty character as well as alloy wheels of new design. However, where changes are most noticeable is in the interior, as it receives brushstrokes of color that brighten a very lújubre atmosphere.

Among the main elements that we can discard from the GLE 53 4MATIC + are the seats sports upholstered in leather and alcantara signed by AMG . The steering wheel, lined in leather, has contrasting seams in red. These same ones extend throughout the interior, including doors and dashboard.While the day is coming, we can already dream of the counter attack of its bitter rivals.
