The GLE63 AMG of this era carries the 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 from the original W166 GLE, before Mercedes moved the badge to a 4.0-litre hybrid V8 on the newer W167 platform in 2020. In Saudi Arabia it is the last of the old-school big-capacity AMG SUVs, with the fuel and tyre bills to match.
How much does a used Mercedes GLE63 AMG cost in Saudi Arabia?
Our listings are 2018-era cars, priced from SAR 163,400 to SAR 163,400 depending on condition and how the previous owner drove it.
Which used Mercedes GLE63 AMG year should you buy?
2018 was the final full year of this 5.5-litre V8 before the model line moved to the newer platform and a smaller, hybridised engine — buy the newest 5.5-litre car you can find if you want the old-school character, since there is nothing newer with this engine.
Is a used Mercedes GLE63 AMG reliable?
Mixed, and worth reading carefully. Our inspections find tyre problems, mismatched sizes or damage, on 33% of cars against the 5% we would expect for large performance SUVs of this age and mileage in the Kingdom — a direct result of the power going through them. Bodywork is the better story: prior panel repair shows up on 25%, against the 50% we would expect for performance SUVs of this age and mileage here, which is unusually clean for a car this fast and this old.
Anything else worth knowing about the Mercedes GLE63 AMG?
The Toyota Land Cruiser is dearer but built for distance rather than a sprint. A Nissan Patrol costs slightly more with far lower running costs. Within the Mercedes range, the GLB200 is the far cheaper, smaller alternative if AMG performance is not the priority.
What should you look over on a used Mercedes GLE63 AMG?
- Tyre matching and wear across all four corners — a documented weak point on this car.
- Twin-turbo V8 service history, including carbon build-up and cooling system health.
- AMG air suspension for sagging or fault codes.
- Brake wear, given the size of the discs this trim carries.
