Mercedes cut the roof off its own SUV, sold it for more, and was entirely right about the demand.
The GLE 53 Coupé is the AMG answer to a question nobody asked and everybody buys: a full-size SUV with the rear roof pulled down into a fastback. A turbocharged straight six, five seats, and a shape that reads as expensive from three blocks away.

What you lose is boot height. What you get is the only large SUV whose profile people actually notice — the roof falls from above the front seats all the way to the tail, and blacked out it is one continuous line.
The engine is the other half. AMG builds the straight six with an electric compressor to fill the gap before the turbo wakes, which is why a car this heavy pulls the moment you ask rather than a beat later.
