The ninth model in the Mercedes-Benz AMG 43 line revved onto the scene January 31 of this year, and the eponymous 2017 AMG GLE43 SUV made it a day to remember, showcasing a stunning set of performance features both to improve the GLE400 build and complement the athletic prowess of the automaker's sleek gloss-black-trim, 4-door GLE43 coupe. And the under-the-hood experience was well worth the wait.
GLE43 begins with an AMG-enhanced 3.0L V6 biturbo powertrain, up to 362 horsepower and up to 384 lb-ft of torque bringing driving punch to its spacious five-passenger cabin, and with the tuned steering and precision handling afforded by AMG-enhanced 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission and AMG Performance 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. With selectable Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual and Slippery modes, GLE43's AMG Dynamic Select System makes it a snap to adjust suspension stiffness, shift points, throttle mapping and idle speed, so you can tack into adverse terrain.
GLE43 offers ample storage space to accommodate diverse road trips, too. Up to 38.2 cu. ft. of cargo space (up to 80.3 cu-ft with seats lowered) yawns from behind the rear seats, and a standard power lift gate allows quick access to it. A power sunroof and heated front seats also come standard, so you can enjoy the experiential gamut of pleasant weather and interior warmth on the road.
