MERCEDES-AMG GLE 53 COUPÉ

THE NEW GLE 53 COUPÉ IS NOTHING LESS THAN EXCEPTIONAL, DELIVERING PERFECTION WITH EVERY FEATURE.

We at Ohlala love all things Mercedes-Benz. Over the last few years, we have had the privilege of experiencing an array of Mercedes’ offerings and have never left feeling less than thoroughly impressed. In fact, Mercedes-Benz is one of those elite brands that consistently strives and manages to improve its vehicles with every new model released. It is not surprising that the Mercedes name is synonymous with prestige and high-performance. This month we were fortunate enough to be offered a test drive in the new Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupé, compliments of the great team at Nasser Bin Khaled Automobiles. Needless to say, we immediately seized the opportunity.

As the AMG GLE 53 4Matic Coupe came into view, we were instantly struck by the robust yet elegant design of the exterior. The master craftsmen at Mercedes have managed to create a vehicle that is truly exceptional to look at. The prominent power domes of the bonnet emphasise the muscular stature of this coupé, whilst the striking “A-wing” in the front apron, the double ring around the Mercedes star, as well as the slim headlamps, showcase the fine attention to detail the design of this car has received. Further notable exterior features include the front apron with its sporty outer air inlets, the silver chrome front splitter, and the 21-inch, light-alloy wheels with AMG lettering. Emphasising the vehicle’s refined appearance even further are the AMG side skirts, spoiler lip and boot lid, all of which are painted in the vehicle colour. At the rear, the newly designed apron, complete with eye-catching diffuser elements and silver chrome trim strip, visually accentuate the vehicle’s width, whilst the optional AMG Performance exhaust system (Selectable), made up of two round twin tailpipe trim elements, accentuate the car’s sporty attitude.
