Mercedes-AMG's GLE43 Coupe is a study in polarizing design

The latest to join the AMG stable combines the crossover and a coupe with, let's just say, an interesting result.

I rarely see this car on the road, but when I do, it looks beautiful lol

[@_Chev_Chelios]

This Mercedes X6 looks great. I do not understand the closed-minded attitude people like this reviewer have wherein they dislike a vehicle merely because it fit an arbitrary category from the past. If there vehicles in the past with the same form factor would she be okay with then? Coupe-over is a decent name though.

[@kamigawa125]

Awesome enthusiasm as always Emma!

[@BeesonsCars]

The GLC 43 is a much better choice imo. It's cheaper, and has a much nicer interior with the new gen design. It looks nicer too imo, the coupe styling works with the GLC.

[@NikoBell12]

Could not disagree more.

[@ajgraham1983]

I went with the GLC43, mainly due to the slight cost saving and the much better visibility. The in-house built 9G auto gearbox needs some software improvements, it has a hair trigger when in sport+ mode when you're easing off the accelerator and can cause juddering in some scenarios. Will hopefully be corrected with a software update.

[@camilogomezkeep2324]

Yeah the GLC is much better. But the GLC coupe has an a lower ground clearance compare to the regular GLC SUV, which is not that tall (I dont even think has 8'' of GC), so imagine the AMG version is even lower, which make me think: Why dont you just get a C-Class estate AMG, or a E-Class estate???? BTW, THIS IS NOT A TRUE AMG!!!!!

[@saadqureshi7127]

Tyler Beeson we test drove the glc coupe and the rear seats were not comfortable compared to the glc suv. There is also no panoramic sun roof. I love the look but wish they had better back seats and rear visibility. They had an awesome one in midnight blue.

[@thecedars0612]

Don't know why, but I love the way the GLE/GLC Coupes look

[@ForgotToMentionThat]

Nice review, this thing does look better than the x6 IMO

[@GetPsyched6]

Cooley on cars

[@gudalawrence2028]

Roshin Nishad Cooley is stuck somewhere else

[@matthewgrayson8]

That background music would go good with what I'm working on but I find the tune

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

I don't care what you say, I test drove one today and I'm getting it in January. If you can't see out the back that's what the 360 cams are for. I don't have a family so that probably is solved as well. Just myself and my elderly mom scooting around in all that horsepower. Yes, ma'am.

[@kemyawe1]

Love this car as well

[@VinceTheCat]

Just got this car 2018 model , am I too late?

[@shahulhusman]

18s will be here soon with 385hp.. you can get the 43 in normal SUV size

[@DronieUp]

I think the front 3/4 is the best angle.. think I like this better than an X6

[@gudalawrence2028]

notice how her head is almost touching the roof, it's either she's 6ft plus or the coupe low roof effect.

[@Kauppamopo]

or seat is at its highest point?

[@anna94k]

2018 GLC 63s is the beast, I love the new grille, GLE would be awesome with that new grille

[@TheEpicLifeOfJacob]

Oh look... Another crossover

[@the80386]

and ugly as shit at that.

[@davect01]

Looks great, not sure I would go for the AMG Version though

[@Corperateconservative]

Why?

[@La-yt1wr]

I love you Emme but I want Brian Cooley back

[@brucec43]

You recognize him from last weekend?

[@La-yt1wr]

Bruno TaTa Yeah just doing it again for fun 🙂

[@Andrew-zv4fm]

The only advantage between the GLC and GLE coupes is that you can tailgate at a football game.

[@khunopie9159]

I can't wait to see the love-child of DB Hippy and Brain Cooly!

[@ek5967]

Where cooley at?!

[@shopwithaaron]

So right about that hideous styling...Coupe overs should not exist! Hi Emme! Always to the point!

[@matthewh630]

Lol we have one in designo diamond white. It's massive in person.

[@paulquince5470]

Soon as an American says Jaguar as JagWaaar' I'm gone. I have heard some educated American journalists say it as the car company do as 'JagUare'. Oh well....

[@THECHOSENONE11000]

The only thing I can't stand is not having Cooley

[@wilmotown]

Coupeover is appropriate, but combover is spot-on. This thing is noooooooot appealing.

[@Cbagz795]

Don't you mean "combover"?

[@wavengxolashe3886]

Sooo vicki guerrero from the wwe is selling cars now?

[@austinmangubat6921]

I can't watch a thing without Cooley

[@roguedogx]

I'd rather have the c class. And for that price I cam get a 63 amg.

[@ilia9033]

lol, Toyota Camry V6 2018 has 301hp and this AMG Mercedes-Benz has 362hp, wow, 100k for extra 61hp, hahaha. Tesla Model X is where my $$$ at, left side of the car is Gucci, right side of the car Versace. Yo, it's GucciVersace

[@xxthehuskycaboosexx]

What a gorgeous car!

[@bigrob1309yahoocom]

This is not an AMG. The engine is mass produced. True AMG engines are each HAND built by a single master technician. Which has his or her name is labeled on the engine block. Owner of a 2013 ML63 AMG

[@Syntax.error.]

bigrob1309yahoocom AMG is not a separate company any more. Mercedes bought them a while back. So AMG does not say much these days.

[@Calimustang86]

AMG is not solely defined by its engine production, its defined by performance, the way it makes you feel, and how it looks. It's a combination of factors. The 43 variants have AMG enhanced engines. I imagine this also helps keep the 43 in their target price brackets while simultaneously not costing as much to produce as the top of the range 63 and 65 models.

[@Calimustang86]

ANGRY POTATO it doesn't say much because you don't own an AMG product.

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

Oh look, another "adult" acting goofy as if that's amusing.

[@MikkoPaakkola]

Honestly, I don't understand why you always have these distracted driving sections in all of the car reviews. Totally unnecessary. And illegal. Stop doing them.

[@usernameXunavailabl3]

The rear third looks ugly af....

[@kingzini]

Sexy? Yes. But looks as heavy as a Dump Truck

[@MKder2te]

God the infotainment is dated 😒

[@Abhiman9596]

This thing looks bald for some reason🤔

[@roguedogx]

AHHHHHHHH! what is that monstrosity?

[@jamesmcd71]

It's ugly as Sin. When I got to drive one in Daytona a couple of months back and it's a complete track monster. It boggles your mind just how drivable that damn thing is. It takes all of 10 minutes to forget you're in a big car SUV thingy.

[@DouginaBoxster]

That thing is Pontiac Aztek ugly. I heard Porsche is developing one of these cows. Oh the humanity...

[@hbk92701]

This is a not a real AMG, this is what used to be called the GLE450. The real AMG is the GLE63. But this car is ugly af

[@melvin3r512]

bmw x4 killer??? Emme do not summer dresses any more...😕

[@brucec43]

Instant click off with the garish silly presenter.
