The car
The GLE43 joined Mercedes-AMG’s line of 43 models for 2017 in two bodies. The coupe replaced the 2016 GLE450 AMG Coupe, and the SUV, a companion to it, took the place of the GLE400 as the sportier six-cylinder choice from early 2017.
Each uses the AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with an AMG-enhanced 9G-TRONIC nine-speed and AMG Performance 4MATIC, here with a 40:60 split, less rear-biased than in the C43 and GLC43. Both ride on air springs, and on the coupe the AMG Sport Suspension is based on AIRMATIC with an Adaptive Damping System. The SUV seats five, with 38.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats.
Mercedes-Benz quotes 0–60 mph in 5.6 seconds for both, with the SUV limited to 130 mph and the 2017 coupe to 155. The V6 was uprated for 2019, and the W166 SUV gave way to the new V167 GLE for 2020.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 362 hp and 384 lb-ft to 420 hp and 485 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 455 hp and 520 lb-ft.

Mechanically they are very close: the 2016 GLE450 AMG Coupe also had a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 and a nine-speed automatic, and for 2017 Mercedes-Benz replaced it with the Mercedes-AMG GLE43 Coupe. The 2016 car is listed on our GLE450 (W166 / C292) page.
They are different generations. The GLE43 is the W166 SUV and C292 coupe with a twin-turbo V6. The GLE53 AMG (V167 / C167), sold from 2021, has a 3.0-liter inline-six with an electric auxiliary compressor and a 48-volt starter-generator, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ and an optional third row in the SUV.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and runs on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 pairs the calibration with supporting bolt-on modifications such as downpipes and runs on high-octane fuel. On a 2018 car, Stage 1 takes it from 362 hp to 420 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 455 hp.
