2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE AMG GLE 43 4MATIC Coupe

Vehicle Description

THIS COLOR!!!! WOW!!! This is a car we could not get out of our head when we saw it....havn't seen too many cars that gives us the "feels" like this car, in this color, with these higher-end wheels, and the black panoramic roof "POPPING" off this Gorgoues deep-red color! This car is super easy on the eyes, and heads will turn everytime this car rolls up. This, in our eyes, is truly, a "one of a kind gem!" This 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG in stunning Cardinal Red Metallic over black AMG-stitched interior is one of the cleanest, best-optioned mid-size performance SUVs on the West Coast—and it’s being offered by Supreme Motors in Auburn, WA, known for having the best prices on the highest-quality cars in the Northwest. This GLE43 is a clean Carfax, California-owned unit with regular documented service, no accidents, no damage, and no excuses. Cars like this, with perfect history, rare option sets, and elite cosmetic and mechanical condition, hold their value significantly better than the sea of lower-spec, rental-background, or East Coast-driven inventory scattered across national listings. This isn’t just a GLE; this is the AMG-tuned 43 variant equipped with the top-tier Premium 3 Package, Night Package, and Parking Assist Package—all sitting aggressively on rare 22" AMG multi-spoke wheels, giving it a commanding presence unmatched by base models.

Under the hood, the GLE43 AMG packs a handcrafted 3.0L Biturbo V6 that produces 385 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, all routed through a 9-speed automatic transmission and the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system. This engine was massaged by AMG to deliver a significantly more responsive and performance-tuned driving experience compared to the base GLE and GLE400 models. The AMG-tuned suspension offers a perfect blend of athleticism and comfort, adapting in real time based on terrain and driving style. The 22” AMG wheels don’t just look aggressive—they provide improved handling and grip, and they give the SUV the kind of stance and road presence usually reserved for six-figure performance trucks. And mechanically, this example is as dialed as they come, with a perfect service history and zero deferred maintenance.

The Premium 3 Package takes this GLE to the top shelf of luxury and tech. It includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Distance Pilot DISTRONIC, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Function, and much more. These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re real safety features that genuinely enhance daily driving and add serious long-term value. The 360-degree camera system combined with automatic parking assistance makes maneuvering this SUV in tight areas effortless. The COMAND Navigation system is integrated with voice control and includes hard drive media storage, satellite radio, and smartphone integration. Unlike the mid-tier Premium 1 or 2 packages, Premium 3 turns the GLE43 into a full executive-spec SUV.

Visually, the Night Package blacks out the chrome trim, side mirrors, window surrounds, and front grille, giving it a stealthy and refined AMG look. Combined with the deep red exterior and oversized AMG 22" wheels, this is one of the best-looking GLEs we’ve ever seen in person—hands down. The LED Intelligent Light System with Adaptive Highbeam Assist not only adds safety but also gives the front end a sharp, aggressive appearance, especially at night. Rain-sensing wipers, privacy glass, and the power panoramic sunroof all come standard in this spec and complete the exterior checklist of anyone looking for a proper high-end SUV with real presence.

Inside, you get premium synthetic AMG sport seats with heated front function, memory settings for both driver and passenger, and multi-zone automatic climate control. The cabin is trimmed with rich black woodgrain and aluminum accents that elevate the sense of refinement without going full bling. The flat-bottom AMG performance steering wheel is leather-wrapped and houses controls for everything from voice commands to adaptive cruise adjustments. This isn’t a base GLE interior—it’s performance-luxury executed properly. Smart device integration is flawless with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Harman/Kardon premium sound system delivers studio-grade audio clarity throughout the cabin.

Storage and functionality aren’t sacrificed in the name of performance. The power liftgate opens to a cargo area that is surprisingly generous, especially when the 60/40 rear seats are folded flat. You also get Mercedes’ intelligent keyless start system, power tilt/telescoping steering column, and a full digital display cluster with configurable AMG-specific readouts like boost pressure and lap timers. The GLE43 is not just about performance—it’s about executing every category with excellence.

From a resale standpoint, this specific example crushes the competition. The perfect West Coast history, zero accidents, clean Carfax, and rare option configuration set it far apart from base trims or lower-tier package GLEs. The AMG 22” wheels alone are a rarity in this condition and style. The California history means no rust, no corrosion, and proper ownership and maintenance. When it comes to long-term ownership or investment in a performance SUV that still holds daily-driver usability, this is one of the strongest plays in the Mercedes-Benz lineup.

Compared to other mid-size luxury SUVs like the Audi SQ5, BMW X5 M40i, or even Porsche Macan S, the GLE43 AMG delivers more power, more presence, and a far more refined ride. Its tuning and fit/finish are AMG-level throughout, not just in the engine bay. The features are not piecemealed like in a BMW or Porsche where adaptive cruise might require three additional packages—it’s all here. There’s a reason why the GLE43 continues to gain a cult following, especially in clean, rare spec configurations like this one.

At Supreme Motors in Auburn, WA, we hand-select cars like this for a reason. Our focus is offering the nicest cars in the Northwest at the best prices, and this 2018 GLE43 AMG represents that mission in its purest form. It’s not just about luxury or looks—it’s about getting the full experience: performance, technology, safety, and investment-grade ownership, all in one stunning and properly maintained SUV. No stories, no excuses. Just an elite-level AMG at the right price.
