2018 Mercedes-AMG GLE43 Quietly Upgraded To 385 HP In The U.S.

We had the chance to review the Mercedes-AMG GLE43 at the beginning of the year with its biturbo 3.0-liter V6 engine delivering 362 horsepower. Motor1 Senior Editor, Jake Holmes, found the six-cylinder mill to be quite impressive given the vehicle’s weight just shy of 5,000 pounds. The GLE is now embracing the 2018 model year bringing an additional 23 hp for a grand total of 385 hp for the sporty “43” model, thus matching the punch of its European counterpart.

Output is channeled to the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system through the same nine-speed automatic transmission whereas the rest of the GLE models come with a seven-speed ‘box. Mercedes USA isn’t saying a word about the GLE43’s performances, but the 2017MY was able to cover the 0-60 mph (0-96 kph) run in 5.6 seconds and max out at an electronically capped 130 mph (209 kph).

The bump in output comes at a cost as the starting price of the 2018MY GLE43 is $67,750 MSRP or $600 higher than before. Elsewhere in the GLE family, Mercedes is upgrading the mbrace Connect package and is making the SUV one of the several models in the 2018MY lineup to benefit from a remote start function.
