Fuel economy and running costs
Fuel economy for a 603 hp V8 SUV is modest, and published estimates vary by source and market. Check the official EPA or Natural Resources Canada rating for the model year you want.
The V8 requires premium fuel. Insurance, tires and maintenance are also higher than on a standard GLE, so factor them into the budget.

- Buyers who want AMG performance in a five-seat family SUV.
- Drivers who need to tow up to 7,700 lb.
- Not ideal for those who prioritise fuel economy; consider a lower-output GLE instead.
