📖Generation guide
W167 AMG GLE 63 S Coupe • 2020+
The sole generation featuring a fastback design, the W167 GLE 63 S Coupe stands out with its performance-oriented specs and luxury appointments, setting it apart from the non-AMG models.
Known issues by generation
Owners of the W167 AMG GLE 63 S Coupe should be aware of specific known issues that may affect performance and value. Key concerns include the M177 engine's turbocharger oil-feed line restrictions and crankshaft-position sensor failures, which can lead to costly repairs if not addressed. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission is also susceptible to valve-body wear over time, affecting shift quality. Additionally, AIRMATIC suspension systems can experience compressor and air-strut leaks, while the EQ Boost 48V mild-hybrid system, though reliable, may require attention early in its lifecycle. Maintaining a log of service history for these components is essential for preserving the vehicle's value.
Donation value by condition + generation
The collector market for the AMG GLE 63 S Coupe is vibrant, with values typically ranging from $90k to $130k depending on condition and options. Original paint and comprehensive service records are paramount for ensuring maximum value. Options like AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes and bespoke designo paint can significantly enhance desirability and price. Any evidence of a factory color change raises red flags for collectors, as does the absence of the AMG-handcrafted engine plate match. Qualified appraisals are vital, with auction comps from sources like Hagerty and RM Sotheby’s providing a benchmark for valuation.
