  • 2016 Mercedes-AMG GLE63 Coupe spy shots

    Mercedes-Benz recently took the covers off its all-new 2016 GLE Coupe, both in standard trim and in new AMG sport format. However, the version we’re most interested in is the dedicated performance model from Mercedes-AMG, the GLE63 Coupe, which was recently spotted testing in Spain. For those unfamiliar with the GLE Coupe, it’s a version of Mercedes’ upcoming GLE (an updated version of the M-Class) with coupe-like styling. Basically, it’s Mercedes’ rival to the BMW X6. And just as the X6 has a high-performance X6 M version, the GLE Coupe will be getting a GLE63...
