📖Generation guide
W167/C167 AMG GLE 63 S Coupe • 2020+
This generation of the GLE Coupe features a distinctive fastback body style, setting it apart from the standard GLE SUVs. The AMG 4.0L V8 engine delivers exhilarating power, making it a true collector's item.
W167 GLE 450 • 2020+
The non-AMG variant, while a competent SUV, lacks the performance and exclusivity of the AMG GLE 63 S Coupe, which is essential for serious collectors.
W167 GLE 580 • 2020+
Another non-AMG variant, the GLE 580 features a different powertrain and does not command the same collector interest as the AMG models.
Known issues by generation
The M177 4.0L biturbo V8 engine in the AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is known for a few critical issues. Common concerns include crankshaft-position-sensor and camshaft-adjuster magnet pre-failure, along with turbocharger oil-feed line restrictions leading to bearing wear. Given the performance capabilities of the GLE 63 S Coupe, it's crucial for owners to maintain their turbochargers and ensure regular service of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission to avoid valve-body degradation. Additionally, the 4MATIC+ system and AIRMATIC air suspension have been known to present challenges if not maintained according to AMG standards.
Donation value by condition + generation
The value of a 2020+ Mercedes-Benz AMG GLE 63 S Coupe can vary significantly based on its condition and service history. Low-mileage examples with original paint and optional AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes command top collector premiums. It's essential for potential donors to provide complete service records, especially for any maintenance related to the M177 turbochargers and AIRMATIC system. The collector market values original-paint vehicles highly, and any factory-color change raises red flags. Auctions by Hagerty, RM Sotheby’s, and Mecum provide a reliable basis for valuation, while verified AMG-handcrafted-engine plates must match the vehicle's VIN for appraisal purposes.
