I admit I have never been a fan of middle-ground concepts. These tread a fine line between practicality and compromise, often leaning heavily into the latter. This philosophy extends to automobiles as well. Like the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe. It sits between the regular GLE SUV and the full-fat GLE 63 S AMG. The GLE 53 Coupe gets a mid-life refresh and besides cosmetic updates, benefits from a mild-hybrid system that makes it quicker than before. Can this make a believer out of me? There’s only one way to find out.
The front end gets subtle but relevant cosmetic updates in the form of new signet DRL headlamps, an updated AMG bumper design and a new AMG emblem on the hood. The SUV boasts impressive road presence owing to its size and the large Panamericana grille. The side profile remains unchanged save for the optional 22-inch alloy wheels. Our test car came fitted with 21-inch AMG alloys that look cool and are more suited for our road conditions. The rear section remains unchanged save for new Signet tail lamps that lend a cleaner look. Our test car came fitted with the AMG night pack that adds blacked-out trim, mirrors and exhaust tips. Overall, the GLE 53 Coupe does stand out with its styling and presence - both highly-rated attributes to the Indian buyer.
