Brabus B53 500!! Fixing the Slowest AMG - GLE 53!

Welcome back to RBR guys! #Brabus power to the 53 GLE, so now who needs the GLE 63?? One of the most popular #MercedesAMG’s on the channel: the new GLE 53 4matic+ with 7 Seats. We last reviewed the 7 Seater GLE and found it to be a pretty great option vs the GLB and GLS in MB’s Line up. The 53 AMG features the in-line 6 turbo AMG Engine with Hybrid EQ boost giving 435BHP 520nm, with a EQ hybrid boost of a further 22BHP and 250nm. But it was never enough for us, only giving a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds. Frankly it just felt slow.
Enter Brabus, with the POWERXTRA B53-500 for the #AMG GLE 53! It raises the pure combustion power to 500 BHP, upping the torque to 590 NM and improving the 0-60 to 5.0: a fact we will check with a launch control in the video!
The car belongs to @t1dso from instagram (give him a follow below). He has made some typical Brabus style changes such as the blacked badges and Brabus 500 logos, alongside PPF to create a Magno Black finish, and finally red callipers to match the AMG dynamic plus pack look: a very aggressive car!
Will the 500bhp be enough? In this review I explore:
- GLE 53 performance
- GLE 500 by Brabus
- GLE 53 500 Performance
- Exterior design
- Brabus parts - Z Block platinum wheels and body kit
- Brabus GLE Exhaust sound
- Full performance review
- Sound of the Brabus 500
- Driving dynamics
- Conclusion
Up next on on RBR is the new Aston Vantage Roadster and MUCH MUCH More!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

I see Brabus upgrades becoming more and more common for AMGs in the future. GLE 53 is a great example of a car underpowered from the off, now with the power it deserved. Now, where’s that Brabus A45S ?! 😈 - DON’T FORGET TO ENTER THE GIVEAWAY! Subscribe and leave the comment stated in the video! 🔥

[@sammyhaidi103]

BRABUS21 and my favorite BRABUS model is the new BRABUS ROCKET 900

[@mattyspeed0166]

BRABUS21. B45s (brabus a45s) don’t know why they called it b even if it’s an a class but it’s the best hatchback in the world🔥🔥

[@lexRTD.]

BRABUS21 and my favorite brabus is the g wagon 900!

Brabus all day

BRABUS21, Rocket 900 S-Class from 2016. From South Africa 🇿🇦🙏🏽.

[@leonz631]

BRABUS21 The Brabus Rocket 900 just holds my heart I love it!!! And the channel. Its really something special!

[@castorman9076]

I’ve just had my GLE53 upgraded using this kit. Would heartily recommend. Much more responsive in the mid-range. This video was instrumental in my decision so many thanks. It was spot on!

[@ffportocarrero]

Hi, is this upgrade plug and play? Did you need and specialist deeler to installed it ? Thank you

[@conlankemmerer185]

does this affect dealership warranty?

[@vgreenology2k24]

Yo do you live in US? Because they said it wasn’t allowed in the US

[@v12-s65]

Any reliability issues? Could use this to upgrade my e53 to 500hp

[@castorman9076]

I am in the UK. The kit was fitted by MB Brooklands and the warranty is unchanged. Reliability is perfect. The car drives very well and seems marginally more economical although hard to tell.

[@Iggy997]

I have the same upgrade installed on my CLS 53 AMG and it makes a BIG difference. Increase in the midrange torque is noticeable, and the gearbox seems to work much better with this tune of the engine. Very very happy with this upgrade.

[@ffportocarrero]

Hi, how you installed? Did you go to a specialist dealer or you installed by yourself? Thank you

[@ghurabaa3]

Hi did it make a difference to the exhaust sound at all? Thanks

[@v12-s65]

Reliability issues?

[@chienfuzan]

BRABUS21 Thanks again for reviewing this pack! I always thought Brabus products are super car stuff and it's good to know that there're options if you want to drive your cars on most days.

[@markadams7423]

BRABUS21 - Great presentation as always and gives me some talking points to plead my case for this with the wife. 😂😂😂

[@sirfriendzone1228]

That exhaust has some bite! 👍

[@ryandrewery5333]

BRABUS21 definitely the G800! I cant stop watching your review of it, it sounds too good!

[@AdamAdam-rx1vp]

The video we all needed!!!

[@user-bc4fs9jp2m]

Durango Hellcat: Heard you were talking about an exciting 7 seater?

[@The_Mnisi_Adventures]

BRABUS21! Absolutely the G800. RBR never disappoints, great reviews and well curated content 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾!

[@danielgudgeon]

BRABUS21! My favourite model is the mega Brabus 800 Widestar, based on the G63

[@LitchiBeere]

Very nice review! I did a test drive with the GLE 53 Coupé and I was considering getting one. In my opinion it was lacking a bit of power, as you say in the mid-range. I would definitely upgrade the GLE with this package as soon as i buy one. Thanks! And as always, very nice work 👍🏼

[@christopher1648]

Brabus 21- must be Brabus Rocket 900. Great video as always- well delivered

[@wanderoutdoors6094]

[@Michael-yz4mc]

Lol

[@Conlanmc]

BRABUS21 That red V12 hoodie is sweeeeeeet. Keep up the brilliant work!

[@andrewjung2919]

I wish you could cover either e53 or cls53 with the same tune. I don't want to shell out 3k for nominal performances, but that's what improvements in 0-100 sec indicates. I want to know more about the mid powerband

[@pratikunadkat3675]

BRABUS21!!!! HOPE TO WIN- BIG LOVE.

[@pratikunadkat3675]

BRABUS21- My favourite has to be the 900. What a beast that is. Great video

[@malking2708]

BRABUS21 favourite model is of course the rocket GT900 you reviewed! Keep up the good work mate! Would love any of the pieces but especially the hoodie. Love from australia 🇦🇺

[@dankowtw]

BRABUS21 Love these guys!

[@ChumChumBaits]

Brabus21 my fave Brabus so far would have to be the B35 because it’s an entry level product simple and just perfect for the car, but I hope you can review the B45 as I would love to add it to my A45s. P.S- I love the red hoodie :) Keep up the great work, love the videos. Sorry for the spam I hope this helps in the algorithm.

Can you contact me my friend I want this kit from Brabus. I must have feedbacks

[@alex-ki9kb]

@@arianberisha6934 I bought it in Spain, ordered and installed by an official Mercedes car dealership. The stage 1 final price is 3.200 euros. Everything is done by them, I didn't have to do anything by myself. I feel the car runs faster, very happy with this kit.

[@Marco-kr8ip]

Audi Abt SQ5, Mercedes GLC, Lamborghini urus?

[@CHRlS.G]

@@Marco-kr8ip in my opinion the GLE is the better all round choice. But the Urus is a bit more exclusive.

BRABUS21, BRABUS had always been my favorite tuning automobile company. If I had a chance to truly feel the power of brabus I would definitely take BRABUS 900, which look elegant and super sporty in the same time.
