Rumors of the V8’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. With Mercedes-Benz reverting course on its… questionable four-cylinder PHEV decision, the V8 is still very much alive in Affalterbach. The latest AMG GLE 63 S Coupe and GLS 63 are proof of that.
These two performance SUVs have been thoroughly reworked inside and out, with sharpened performance and, of course, powerful V8 engines paired with electrification. The result is the kind of effortless performance AMG buyers expect—now with a bit more polish.
