Control the beauty in the type, in front of the only beauty
The all-new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ coupe infuses Alphabach's racetrack DNA into the dynamic posture of the coupe, creating a high-performance wide-body coupe with a unique style.
From the front, the all-new AMG CLE 53 Coupe has a class-leading body width of 1,935 mm, while the AMG waterfall grille, A-shaped front apron, intelligent digital headlight assembly with sharp eyebrows and widened wheel arches create a wider visual effect and three-dimensional visual tension. On the hood, the two ribs are not only a visual enhancement, but also a wide heat vent that is identical to that of the AMG GT car, highlighting the performance DNA and providing efficient heat dissipation for the high-performance engine that roars in the middle of the race.
The body is the essence of a coupe, and the all-new AMG CLE 53 coupe has a "side face" that is immediately appealing. The class-leading 4,853 mm long and 2,875 mm wheelbase form the perfect proportions for a slender silhouette, while the car's signature combination of narrow front and wide rear tyres (265/40 ZR19 front, 295/35 ZR19 rear) provides excellent grip for fast speeds. A sleek curve from the frameless A-pillars through the roof to the dynamic rear of the car, starting above the frameless doors and narrow side windows, outlines the shape of the sleek back and the retracted cabin, reminiscent of an AMG GT racer. The huge "shark gills" behind the front wheels, the "TURBO 4MATIC+" above the fenders, the choice of 19-20 inch AMG light alloy wheels and the heat dissipation openings behind the rear wheels add a wild touch to the elegant profile of the car.
The all-new AMG CLE 53 Coupé has a full-bodied rear styling, with an AMG spoiler on the tailgate lid and a rear apron with a diffuser design, which not only creates a sharp visual effect, but also harnesses the power of the wind to provide strong stability for driving. The eye-catching two sets of ring-shaped double exhaust tailpipes are essential hardware for powerful performance.
The all-new AMG CLE 53 Coupe is available in seven exterior paint options, including AMG's exclusive MANUFAKTUR Matte Sea Night Blue, with a high-gloss black AMG Night Package such as the "shark gills", exterior mirror covers and exhaust tailpipes.
Fierce in action, free and easy
The all-new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ coupe is built with the performance of the new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ coupe, and a number of AMG performance technologies demonstrate the absolute strength of its AMG seven genes, allowing drivers to enjoy the thrill of driving with passion and freedom.
Strong power is the foundation of excellent performance. The all-new AMG CLE 53 Coupe is powered by an AMG-tuned 3.0-litre inline-six engine with a new dual-boost system, a new exhaust gas turbocharger and an optimised electric auxiliary supercharger that increases the boost pressure by 0.4 bar and delivers a faster power response. The engine has a maximum power of 330 kW (449 hp) and a maximum torque of 560 Nm, which is 10 kW and 40 Nm higher than the previous one, and can produce 600 Nm of torque in an overcharged state that lasts for 10 seconds. The 48-volt intelligent motor system also provides an additional 17 kW (23 hp) and 205 Nm of power. Thanks to the combination of engine and electric motor, the new AMG CLE 53 Coupé delivers blistering acceleration in all speed ranges. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed gearbox has a tighter gear ratio to help the engine maintain the optimal output speed range at all times. The continuous downshift function with galvanized paddle shifters brings a more crisp and neat shifting performance, allowing driving enthusiasts to enjoy the passion of downshifting and accelerating in one go.
AMG's exclusive driving technology maximizes the performance potential of this high-performance coupe, giving you the pleasure of driving as freely as the wind. The all-new AMG CLE 53 Coupe is equipped with class-leading rear-wheel active steering as standard, with an angle of up to 2.5 degrees to the left and right. The low-speed steering is more agile and the high-speed direction change is more stable, allowing the driver to enjoy the pleasure of being one with the vehicle. The AMG three-stage variable steering system also allows the driver to precisely control the body posture at high speeds or in "sport" mode. AMG's 4MATIC+ features a continuously adjustable power distribution between the front and rear axles, switching between the agility of the rear-wheel drive and the stability of the all-wheel drive, delivering power to all four wheels. In drift mode, the all-new AMG CLE 53 coupe can be locked for rear-wheel drive, turning it into a drift weapon. The adaptive adjustable damping of the AMG Ride Control suspension system provides three damping characteristics: "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sport Enhanced", and five AMG dynamic handling selection modes make every moment of driving enjoyable. When the AMG Dynamic Plus package is installed, it unlocks the "Track" driving mode and the launch function, satisfying the ultimate pursuit of high-performance car enthusiasts. With each acceleration, the auditory atmosphere created by AMG's high-performance sound is even more addictive. The AMG control unit located on the steering wheel or the touchscreen can be activated at the touch of a button to activate the "POWERFUL" mode for a high-pitched and impassioned performance movement.
