Mercedes-Benz India Unveils the Powerful Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé

Mercedes-Benz, India’s most desirable luxury carmaker, has launched the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé, a striking two-door performance model that blends the agility of the C-Class with the space and elegance of the E-Class. Positioned in the brand’s top-end luxury performance portfolio, the CLE 53 is designed for driving enthusiasts who demand uncompromised performance, luxury, and style.

At its heart is a 3.0-litre M 256M inline six-cylinder petrol engine with double turbocharging, delivering 330 kW (449 hp) and 560 Nm of torque (up to 600 Nm in overboost for 12 seconds). Enhanced with an integrated starter generator (ISG) and an electric additional compressor, the engine offers rapid throttle response, smoother power delivery, and hybrid functions such as short-term boosting (17 kW / 23 hp), recuperation, and start-stop efficiency.

Paired with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission, the CLE 53 offers lightning-fast gear changes and multiple driving styles — from fuel-efficient cruising to high-performance acceleration. The car sprints from 0–100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 250 km/h (optional 270 km/h).

Driving dynamics are fine-tuned with AMG DYNAMIC SELECT offering five modes — Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and Individual — allowing drivers to adjust engine response, transmission, chassis, and steering. The AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive ensures maximum traction and driving safety in all conditions, seamlessly shifting from rear-wheel to all-wheel drive when required.

The AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with adaptive damping and rear-axle steering (up to 2.5° at low speeds and 0.7° at high speeds) further enhances agility, stability, and cornering precision.

Inside, the CLE 53 exudes luxury with ARTICO man-made leather/MICROCUT microfibre sports seats, red contrast stitching, and the latest MBUX infotainment system. The cabin features a 12.3-inch fully digital driver display, 11.9-inch central touchscreen, dynamic ambient lighting in 64 colours, and an AMG Performance steering wheel with integrated drive mode controls.
