Mercedes-Benz has added the AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe, which retails for ₹1.35 crore (ex-showroom), to its inventory of high-performance vehicles in India. The CLE, which falls between the C-Class and E-Class in size, offers a special fusion of Mercedes’ opulent workmanship and AMG’s sporting heritage. With this introduction, Mercedes-Benz India expands its line of Top-End Vehicles (TEVs), catering to drivers who seek both luxurious comfort and precise performance.
Heart of an AMG – Powertrain & Speed
A 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six engine and a 48V mild hybrid system are housed behind its sculpted bonnet. With an overboost mode that temporarily adds an additional 23 horsepower, the configuration produces an astonishing 449 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque. The completely variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system distributes power to all four wheels using a 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT transmission. With an electronically regulated top speed of 250 km/h, which can be increased to 270 km/h with the optional AMG Driver’s Package, this powerhouse accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds.
Sculpted Elegance with Aggressive Character
The design language of the CLE 53 combines style with a clear performance focus. The AMG Panamericana has a stylish and commanding road presence thanks to its grille, powerful bonnet lines, flared wheel arches, and LED High Performance headlights. Its athletic appearance is completed by a sporty rear profile featuring quad exhaust pipes, a gloss-black diffuser, and optional 20-inch AMG alloy wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Each shape has been designed to improve driving stability and aerodynamics in addition to aesthetics.
Sport-Luxury Cabin with Cutting-Edge Tech
Inside, the CLE 53 envelops passengers in an opulent yet driver-focused space. The premium-upholstered AMG Performance seats, the microfiber flat-bottom AMG steering wheel, and the contrasting stitching for a dynamic look are the highlights. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 11.9-inch MBUX infotainment display serve as the centerpieces of the tech package, which also includes wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a Burmester 3D surround sound system, 64-color ambient lighting, wireless charging, and a panoramic sunroof. Grand touring comfort and race-bred ergonomics are perfectly balanced in the cabin.
Driving Dynamics & Safety Assured
Drivers may customize the CLE 53’s behavior to fit any road condition or mood thanks to AMG’s RIDE CONTROL adaptable suspension, rear-axle steering, and several drive modes (Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, Individual, and AMG Dynamics). With features like eight airbags, a 360-degree camera, Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, PRE-SAFE, and a variety of cutting-edge driver-assistance technologies, safety is still of the utmost importance. The end result is a vehicle that is equally comfortable on vast highways or winding mountain roads because it is as calm and safe as it is exhilarating.
