On a snow-covered road with everything dialed over to comfort, it\u2019s a teddy bear. Our tester was equipped with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/snow+tires\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:7;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">winter tires<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and between those and the standard all-wheel drive, you have as much control as you could possibly ask for on a snow-covered road. What you choose to do with that power is entirely up to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJust want to cruise along an ice-and-snow covered street with lots of hills and bends and unpredictable surfaces lurking below? No problem. Want to let loose in an empty parking lot with nothing nearby to hit? Go nuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhatever the GLE 63 S Coupe may be (depending on who you ask, a sawed-off family SUV, a fashion statement or just a plain-old abomination) this is a vehicle that happens to offer almost as much horsepower as the last-generation <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/dodge\/srt+viper\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:8;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SRT Viper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These two vehicles would never be cross-shopped; they don\u2019t even belong in the same sentence, let alone the same automotive niche.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cUnlike the aforementioned Mopar, which is an engine and steering wheel with some metal and plastic wrapped around it for the sake of meeting government regulations, the GLE is, first and foremost, a status symbol. It\u2019s really only important that it have the sort of credentials you expect from a six-figure luxury car; the chances of anyone who buys one taking full advantage of those credentials seems remote. Even my snow-covered parking lot scenario seems unlikely for its owners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shrsl.com\/3dka9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:9;\"><img class=\"grp-full lazy\" alt=\"\" data-original=\"https:\/\/o.aolcdn.com\/images\/dims3\/GLOB\/legacy_thumbnail\/1200x675\/format\/jpg\/quality\/85\/https:\/\/s.aolcdn.com\/os\/ab\/_cms\/2022\/02\/08115939\/2021_MercedesBenz_GLE63SCoupe_181.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut that\u2019s not good enough for the folks in Stuttgart. Fortunately, technology has reached the point where a four-door Mercedes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/crossover\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:10;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CUV<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can have 603 horsepower and not be headline-worthy. The catch is, the same things that make this fusion of performance and docility possible \u2014 a fancy all-wheel-drive system, great tires and a good bit of computing power \u2014 are typically at odds with the very thing that makes 600-plus horsepower fun to begin with: a genuinely engaging experience. But when it\u2019s done right, as it has been here in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/mercedes_benz\/amg+gle+63\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:11;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AMG GLE 63<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> S, it\u2019s a real treat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCars like the GLE have become so smart that even their nannies don\u2019t ruin all the fun. Sure, in comfort mode, the GLE\u2019s traction and stability control will intervene relatively quickly if things get out of hand (hard to do; it\u2019s quite tame in \u201cC\u201d) but in the sportier modes, the computers give you a lot more leeway. And even if you do get their attention, you may not even notice. It\u2019s not the abrupt, on-\/off-switch style approach that soured so many of us on the traction- and stability-control systems of old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBut even if those systems stifled the engagement we coveted in sporty cars a decade ago, they\u2019re having an inverse effect when it comes to cars like the GLE. Each incremental development in these systems grants us a little more previously untapped potential without a corresponding hit to civility. Sure, you can slap a supercharger on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/chevrolet\/tahoe\/\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:12;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chevy Tahoe<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and surprise a lot of people when the light turns green, but even under the best of circumstances, that power will largely go to waste. What\u2019s the point of all that muscle if you can\u2019t harness it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s the harness \u2013 the chassis, the advanced drivetrain, the adaptive powertrain logic \u2013 that makes the GLE so sublime. Sure, the 4.0-liter, twin-turbocharged beast under the hood deserves its share of the credit, but you can do just about anything you want in this 603-horsepower sport utility \u201ccoupe,\u201d even when it\u2019s 20 degrees and snowing. Well, except turn on a heated steering wheel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/shrsl.com\/3dka9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ylk=\"elm:context_link;itc:0;pos:1;sec:donut-hole;cpos:13;\"><img class=\"grp-full lazy\" alt=\"\" data-original=\"https:\/\/o.aolcdn.com\/images\/dims3\/GLOB\/legacy_thumbnail\/1200x675\/format\/jpg\/quality\/85\/https:\/\/s.aolcdn.com\/os\/ab\/_cms\/2022\/02\/08120006\/2021_MercedesBenz_GLE63SCoupe_021.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re probably asking yourself, what does it take to win?
