2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 Coupe electrifies

Mercedes-Benz on Thursday unveiled the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 Coupe.    

Rocking all the same quality bits as the standard GLE but with a more stylish rear end, the GLE53 Coupe offers some serious performance, albeit one tick below the top-tier AMG 63 variant.    

The real gem of the GLE53 is under the hood.     

There's a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 that generates 429 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque on its own.     

But it's not alone; the straight-six mates to a 48-volt electrical system and an electric motor that can produce an additional 21 hp and 184 lb-ft.     

Every other new GLE-Class is loaded with tech, and the GLE53 is no exception.    

The new MBUX infotainment system is standard, split between a 12.3-inch gauge display and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen.     

The 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE53 Coupe made its official debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.     

It'll go on sale in the US by mid-2020, and pricing will be released closer to that time.
