AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ COUPE
An infusion of AMG know-how brings the newest member of the Mercedes-Benz coupe legacy to its sharpest edge. Taut lines and triple-boosted torque are among its seductive pairings of technology and temptation.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test limits, and for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to a new generation of electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
Driving mood, fine-tuned
At the touch of a control on the console or steering wheel, you can dial in the performance of the AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+. The five selectable drive modes of AMG DYNAMIC SELECT let you fine-tune the throttle, shifting, exhaust note and more.
Performance, triple-boosted
Turbocharging plus an electric auxiliary compressor boost the AMG-enhanced inline-6 to 443 hp, 413 lb-ft. An overboost function can pump it to 443 lb-ft for brief bursts. Electric hybrid assist can add 23 hp and 151 lb-ft gas-free. Just 4.2 seconds can bring you to 100 km/h. Disclaimer[1]
Geared to please, nine ways
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed offers multiple modes and quick gear changes. Shift paddles on the AMG Performance steering wheel offer manual control, along with multi-gear downshifts.
Performance soundtrack, driver-conducted
AMG Real Performance Sound lets you heighten the emotional rewards of the car's natural performance soundtrack. Selectable modes let you adjust how the actual engine and exhaust tones are experienced from inside the cabin.
The elegance of tenacity
An AMG coupe is designed to do most everything with a certain style. Ample power and agile reflexes team up to make "beautifully" an apt descriptor for its handling. Crisp, direct feedback makes its driver look and feel good, too.
The attraction of traction
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive distributes torque based on the driving needs of the moment. A Drift mode in the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package can operate in 100% rear-wheel drive. Disclaimer[2] Disclaimer[3]
The power of steering
The 3-stage AMG parameter steering adapts to speed and drive mode. Standard 2.5° rear-axle steering can turn opposite or with the front wheels based on speed, mode and vehicle dynamics, to enhance stability, agility and manoeuvrability. Disclaimer[4]
The ability of agility
Multimode AMG RIDE CONTROL can quickly adapt the damping at each wheel via separate valves for compression and rebound. The AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package adds Race and Drift modes, red brake calipers, and dynamic engine mounts. Disclaimer[5]
Racing history, the digital edition
The CLE 53 is shaped by everything AMG has learned from winning on the track. Yet even with all of its intelligent digital technology, the result is a highly analogue experience more aptly measured in heartbeats than kilobytes.
Seating for four, a singular sensation
Ample room for four can’t hide that the CLE 53 holds a special place for its driver. One clue is the subtle angle of the central touchscreen. Available AMG Performance front seats are even more deeply bolstered than the standard sport seats.
Sound that immerses, even embraces
For those times when you'd prefer actual music to the glorious exhaust note, Germany's renowned crafter of high-end audio, Burmester®, has created a surround sound option that features speakers built into the front seats.
Wheels that turn heads
A range of distinctly stylish AMG wheels measure 19 or 20 inches, all set on a significantly wider track than other CLE coupes. Paint options include new Sun Yellow plus five MANUFAKTUR colours in nonmetallic, metallic and matte "Magno" shades. Disclaimer[6] Disclaimer[7] Disclaimer[8]
Control, hand-delivered
Nappa leather, microfibre and a carbon effect can trim the AMG Performance steering wheel. Capacitive touch buttons on its twin spokes put countless features at your thumbs. The AMG DRIVE UNIT keeps performance settings close at hand.
Performance, accentuated
Five styling options, some available in combo, let you emphasize AMG performance your own way. Night, Night Plus and AMG Performance Studio Packages add gloss black and aero accents. Two carbon fibre packages are also available.
Revolutions in high resolution
Dual digital displays are large in size, big on colour, driver-focused, and highly customizable. In addition to four instrumentation styles, you can opt for an AMG Head-Up Display or the integrated track data logging of AMG Track Pace. Disclaimer[9] Disclaimer[10]
