Hoo boy, this AMG crossover is one scorching little quantity. It is the 2024 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S, however within the Coupe physique type. It graced my driveway for a pair days earlier than I handed it alongside to Information Editor Joel Stocksdale. Within the scorching-hot and chokingly humid ultimate days of July, I discovered myself struggling to remain hydrated. You already know the place that is going … I would have to convey a variety of water with me wherever I would go. My fixed companion was my 32-ounce Nalgene water Bottle, which was getting fairly the exercise.

However how would an outsized water bottle match within the cupholders of the GLE, you ask? Fortunate for you, I examined out all of the beverage-storage areas within the automotive, and documented it. 

As all the time, we have gotta begin with essentially the most handy place to place your beverage: the entrance cupholders. 

A shock, to make sure, however a welcome one. The Nalgene match completely into each the fronts. However what if every entrance occupant desires to convey alongside two huge bottles and stash them with straightforward attain? Let’s look to the doorways.

The bottle spot within the entrance Door Pocket appears a little bit small, what with the button for the liftgate sitting there and all.

That should have been an optical phantasm, nevertheless, as a result of the Nalgene match within the door simply advantageous.

So what concerning the rear passengers? They will get thirsty, too.

If there’s no person sitting within the center, you’ll be able to decrease the middle armrest for the outboard occupants to relaxation their elbows. However how huge of a bottle can they relaxation there, too?

Not an enormous one. Thought the cupholders had been of two completely different sizes, not even the bigger one would maintain the Nalgene. Hope isn’t misplaced, although. To the doorways!

Identical to up entrance, the Nalgene match into the rear door pocket. Now to withstand the temptation to make full use of the twin-turbo V8’s 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque simply as a passenger raises the bottle to their lips. That might be merciless, nevertheless it would possibly assist them keep cool on this warmth.

Talking of warmth, simply have a look at this GLE 63. It is fairly the looker in and out.

I used to be unhappy handy over the keys, however no less than the AMG was traded for a Hyundai Elantra N. Extra on that automotive (advantageous, and its cupholders) sooner or later.
