Something tells me August 12 is going to be a loud day. Not just because it’s a Monday, but because Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe is about to roar its way onto Indian roads and I, for one, can’t wait to see heads turn.
I’ve been following this car ever since it made waves globally late last year. And now, it’s finally coming to India to shake up the luxury sports coupe segment. Just look at it. That wide stance, the iconic Panamericana grille, the aggressive LED eyes, and those quad exhausts that look like they’re ready to spit fire. It’s not subtle. It doesn’t try to be. And honestly, that’s what makes it so magnetic.
Under the hood, you’ve got a 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged petrol engine, amped up by AMG’s signature tuning. It delivers a solid 449 horsepower and 560Nm of torque, with a hybrid boost kicking in extra punch when needed. There’s even an overboost feature that momentarily cranks torque to 600Nm. 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds. It’s fast, it’s mean, and it doesn’t apologize.
But this coupe isn’t just about raw power. Step inside, and it’s like slipping into a high-tech lounge on wheels. The AMG performance seats hug you like they were built for your body. The massive 12.3-inch instrument cluster and 11.9-inch touchscreen are pure eye-candy, and the Burmester sound system will make even your playlists feel more expensive.
Mercedes is not holding back on features either. From rear-axle steering to adaptive suspension and Level 2 ADAS, this thing is packed. Pricing is expected between ₹80 lakh and ₹1 crore, maybe even higher for top trims.

So yes, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe is arriving with fireworks. And I’ll be watching every second of it.
