2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Release Date USA – There is no 2027 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG. Mercedes renamed the ML-Class the GLE-Class years ago, and the high-performance AMG version that enthusiasts still search for under the old “ML63” name is now the 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S (and its Coupe counterpart).
Here’s the current, verified information for U.S. buyers based on official announcements and trusted automotive sources.
2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S Release Date in the USA
Mercedes-AMG officially unveiled the updated 2027 GLE 63 S and GLS 63 in mid-June 2026. U.S. dealerships are scheduled to receive the first vehicles in Fall 2026 (2027 model year).
Some earlier coverage of the broader GLE refresh noted second-half 2026 arrivals, with the high-performance AMG 63 variants following closely in the same window. A few outlets have mentioned early 2027 for full availability, but the consensus from Mercedes-AMG and major U.S. sources points to Fall 2026 showroom arrivals.
Powertrain and Performance Specs
At the heart of the 2027 GLE 63 S is the handcrafted AMG M177 EVO 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Key updates include a new flat-plane crankshaft, revised turbocharging, optimized intake and exhaust ports, and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
Output remains 603 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque (some early reports listed slightly different torque figures, but 627 lb-ft is the consistent official number). The mild-hybrid system contributes an extra 23 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque assist for sharper low-end response.
Performance figures:
- 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds
- Electronically limited top speed of 174 mph
Power goes to all four wheels through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed automatic and AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system. An updated AMG Performance exhaust system lets drivers vary the V8 soundtrack across drive modes.
Design, Features, and Technology Updates
The 2027 GLE 63 S receives more aggressive AMG-specific front and rear styling, including a distinctive Panamericana grille treatment, revised air intakes, star-pattern lighting elements, and new wheel designs. Both SUV and Coupe body styles are offered.
Inside, the cabin benefits from the broader 2027 GLE refresh: updated screens, AI-enhanced MBUX interface, refined materials, and AMG-specific performance seats and steering wheel. Chassis upgrades include AMG-tuned air suspension and Active Ride Control technology for sharper handling without sacrificing everyday comfort.
Expected Pricing for U.S. Buyers
Official 2027 pricing had not been finalized in all coverage at the time of the unveiling. The outgoing 2026 GLE 63 S started in the low $130,000s (around $131,800–$133,150 before options and destination).
Industry estimates place the updated 2027 model starting near or slightly above $140,000, depending on options and whether buyers choose the standard SUV or Coupe. Full pricing is expected closer to the Fall 2026 on-sale date.
Why the Name Change Matters for Shoppers?
Longtime fans searching for a “2027 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG” are looking for the same high-performance midsize luxury SUV formula that began with the original ML55/ML63 models. The GLE 63 S continues that lineage with modern efficiency improvements, sharper dynamics from the flat-plane V8, and the latest technology while keeping the visceral V8 character that defines AMG.
What U.S. Buyers Should Do Next?
- Contact local Mercedes-Benz dealers for pre-order or allocation information as Fall 2026 approaches.
- Compare the GLE 63 S against rivals such as the BMW X5 M, Audi RS Q8, and Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
- Watch for official MSRP announcements and any early configurator availability on the Mercedes-Benz USA website.
The 2027 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is the true successor to the ML63 AMG nameplate that American performance SUV enthusiasts have followed for years. With its Fall 2026 U.S. arrival, updated flat-plane V8, and refined luxury, it remains one of the most anticipated high-performance SUVs of the model year.
