Mercedes-AMG has officially unveiled the 2027 GLE63 S and GLS63, proving that the V8 engine remains an important part of its performance lineup. Both luxury SUVs receive an updated 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that delivers 603 HP and 627 LB-FT of torque. Moreover, the latest models combine thrilling performance with advanced hybrid assistance, making them faster, sharper, and more refined than ever.
Updated V8 Delivers More Character
The heart of both SUVs is the new M177 Evo 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Unlike many modern performance engines, it features a flat-plane crankshaft that produces a distinctive exhaust note. In addition, a 48-volt integrated starter-generator contributes an extra 23 HP and 151 LB-FT during low-speed acceleration, improving responsiveness without changing the official power output.
Supercar-Like Performance Figures
Mercedes-AMG claims the GLE63 S accelerates from 0 to 97 KM/H in just 3.6 seconds. Meanwhile, the larger GLS63 reaches the same speed in only 3.9 seconds. Both SUVs also achieve an electronically limited top speed of 280 KM/H with the optional AMG Driver’s Package. Consequently, they remain among the quickest luxury SUVs in the world.
Chassis Upgrades Improve Every Drive
Performance extends beyond the engine. Therefore, Mercedes-AMG equips both models with an electronic locking rear differential and AMG Ride Control+ suspension. The air suspension automatically adapts to different driving modes, while active anti-roll technology reduces body movement through corners.
Furthermore, the suspension can raise the ride height by 20 MM for rough terrain or lower it by 10 MM at higher speeds to improve stability.
Fresh Styling With AMG Character
The exterior receives the latest AMG grille and several subtle styling updates. In addition, buyers can choose exclusive MANUFAKTUR paint finishes and customization options. The aggressive front fascia, muscular proportions, and large alloy wheels ensure both SUVs stand out whether cruising city streets or long highways.
Premium Cabin With Luxury Features
Inside, Mercedes-AMG continues to focus on luxury and technology. Buyers can select premium MANUFAKTUR interior themes, including the elegant Yacht Blue finish. Meanwhile, high-quality materials, advanced digital displays, and performance-focused controls create a cabin that blends comfort with sporting appeal.
As a result, both SUVs remain ideal for daily driving as well as high-speed touring.
Prices In The Middle East
Mercedes-AMG has not announced official Middle East pricing for the 2027 GLE63 S and GLS63. However, based on current regional pricing, the GLE63 S is expected to start from approximately AED 620,000. Meanwhile, the larger GLS63 could begin at around AED 760,000 before optional MANUFAKTUR packages and performance upgrades.
Middle East Relevance & Market Outlook
High-performance luxury SUVs remain extremely popular across the GCC. Therefore, the updated GLE63 S and GLS63 are expected to attract strong demand in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. Moreover, buyers in the region continue to appreciate powerful V8 engines, premium interiors, and long-distance touring capability, making these AMG models an excellent fit.
Conclusion
The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE63 S and GLS63 demonstrate that the V8 engine still has a bright future. With 603 HP, advanced chassis technology, and luxurious interiors, both SUVs deliver outstanding performance without compromising comfort. Most importantly, they strengthen Mercedes-AMG’s position in the high-performance luxury SUV segment and are likely to become favorites among Middle East enthusiasts.
