The AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is the focused performance variant. The GLE 53 AMG (mild hybrid inline-six) is the mid-tier sport variant. The Mercedes-Maybach GLE is the ultra-luxury variant. The GLE Coupe (2015+) is the sport-styled variant with sloping roofline. GLE Coupe and standard GLE share platform but have different proportions.
