One of the most controversial styling trends centers around one of the most popular trends of our time: the crossover coupe. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S takes the crossover coupe style and blends it with the outlandish 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 to make one of the more interesting combinations of performance, utility, and style on the road. Based on the standard GLE-class Mercedes-Benz, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is a 603-hp people mover with all of the attitude you’d expect from an AMG. Of course, this top-flight crossover isn’t a bare-bones performance machine; it’s also well appointed with leather and soft-touch materials throughout the interior and sports lots of high-tech consumer features.

On this episode of Quick Spin, Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S and puts it through its paces. He guides you around this GLE 63 S in a recorded walk-around and takes you along for a real-time drive review. Adding to those segments, Carone expands on his thoughts with host Wesley Wren. The pair talk about the GLE 63 S’s features, its price, and the experience of driving this Mercedes-AMG. Closing the show, the pair talk about what makes the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S special.
