Engine, electric motors, and performance
The 2026 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Plug-in Hybrid merges power from an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder and a 134-hp electric motor.
Internal combustion engine
Standard on the 2026 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Plug-in hybrid is an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that generates 443 hp. The hybrid system’s electric motor provides an electric boost for a particularly spontaneous response, eliminating the need for an electric auxiliary compressor.
Electric motor
The AMG-enhanced engine is combined with a 134-hp electric motor, 31.2 kWh capacity battery, and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive. High agility when accelerating from a standstill is now available on the grade, thanks to the 354 lb-ft of torque from the electric motor.
Combined power, torque, and performance
The internal combustion engine and electric motor generate a total output of 536 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque for an impressive driving performance. Charging your SUV or Coupe is easier now with an 11 kW AC and 60 kW DC on-board charger. The model attains 60 mph from 0 in 4.6 seconds, its top speed of 155 mph. Drivers can attain all-electric driving at speeds up to 87 mph.
Exterior design
At the front of the plug-in is an opening to direct airflow to the additional heat exchanger. Hybrid-specific badges on the front fenders and tailgate indicate the vehicle’s plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The AMG high-performance brake system is equipped with internally ventilated 15.7 x 1.5-inch brake discs with six-piston fixed calipers on the front axle and 14.6 x 1.3-inch brake discs with single-piston floating calipers on the rear axle.
Interior design
In the cabin is an MBUX infotainment system that showcases hybrid-specific displays and functions. These include a charging menu and displays in the instrument cluster and central multimedia screen, these relays information about the charging status, temperature of the high-voltage battery, and electric range.
The newly developed AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension
The 2026 Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Hybrid is equipped with the newly developed AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension system with new hardware and software as standard. This system offers a balanced combination of adequate acoustic damping for a purely electric driving combination.
Other comfort features on the model include new passive stabilizers equipped with new stop buffers on the front and rear axles. Mercedes-AMG also tuned the chassis, ESP, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive, and steering to offer an improved driving experience.
AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs
For an improved driving experience, the high-performance division recalibrated the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT programs. The new GLE 53 HYBRID starts silently in the “Electric” drive program by default.
The company also added two hybrid-specific drive programs to the familiar drive programs ((“Comfort,” “Sport,” Sport+,” “Slippery” and “Individual”). The new “Electric” drive program offers an all-electric drive from a standstill to up to 87 mph. In a situation where the battery runs down or the driver requests more power, the combustion engine starts up and briefly takes over the drive power.
A new “Battery Hold” program on the GLE 53 Hybrid runs as the situation demands with a maximum boost of approximately 25 percent, as in the “Comfort” drive program. For example, if the battery is at 75 percent charge, it remains in this range in “Battery Hold.” The use of the electric motor is then limited and optimized for low energy consumption, which is compensated by recuperation. Drivers can decide when to make full use of the battery charge again simply by changing the drive program.
When the model is on all-electric power, the Acoustic Vehicle Altering System alerts others the performance hybrid is approaching. Mercedes-AMG’s specially composed low-frequency and speed-modulated AMG sound is emitted to the outside via a speaker at the front and a soundbar with two speakers at the rear.
