Mercedes-Benz GLE coupe in Austin: what the sloped-roof GLE offers and who it fits
The GLE Coupe is the sloped-roof version of the Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Mercedes-Benz of South Austin sells it new on the south I-35 frontage road. It fits the Austin buyer who wants a GLE-size Mercedes-Benz SUV with coupe styling and a choice of trims, especially one living in south Austin, Buda, Kyle or Dripping Springs. The roofline is the trade. The coupe gives up cargo room and costs more than the regular GLE, and the maker’s figures show how much.

Who is the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe a good fit for in Austin?
The GLE Coupe fits the Austin buyer who wants a Mercedes-Benz SUV with a sloped roofline and a range of GLE trims.
The coupe suits a driver who wants the GLE’s size and power under a sloped roof, and who needs less cargo volume than the SUV offers.
How is the GLE Coupe different from the regular GLE SUV?
The sloped roof costs cargo room and adds to the price. For the 2026 model year, the GLE 450 4MATIC® Coupe starts at $81,200 with 64.1 cubic feet of maximum cargo, while the SUV version starts at $74,800 with 74.9 cubic feet.
The SUV seats five, with an optional third row that brings the count to seven. On the GLE 450 SUV, first-row legroom is 40.3 inches and second-row legroom is 40.9 inches. A buyer who hauls bags, strollers or sports gear each week should weigh that cargo difference against the roofline before choosing.
Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe trims side by side on price, power and seating
The GLE 450 4MATIC® Coupe starts at $81,200 with 375 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. The AMG® GLE 53 HYBRID Coupe starts at $98,000 with 577 hp and 553 lb-ft. The AMG® GLE 63 S 4MATIC®+ Coupe makes 603 hp and 627 lb-ft, the most power of the three.
Torque rises from 413 lb-ft on the GLE 450 Coupe to 553 on the AMG® GLE 53 and 627 on the 63 S. Each step up gives a driver more power for the same sloped silhouette.

The maker’s basic warranty on the GLE runs 4 years or 50,000 miles. The EPA rates the AMG® GLE 53 4MATIC®+ Coupe at 18 city, 22 highway and 20 combined mpg.
