So you’ve been waiting for a luxury coupe that looks like a fashion statement and drives like a beast? Well, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 is finally here. Priced at ₹1.35 crore (ex-showroom), the Mercedes CLE 53 launch India combines AMG’s raw performance DNA with the comfort and class Mercedes is known for. Think C-Class agility meets E-Class refinement – with a lot more muscle.

Design and Presence

From every angle, the AMG CLE 53 is unapologetically bold. The signature AMG Panamericana grille, wide wheel arches and muscular bumper give it a stance that demands attention. The gloss-black diffuser at the back, flanked by quad exhausts, makes sure you’re remembered when you pass by. Sitting on striking 20-inch alloys, the CLE 53 wears its performance pedigree proudly, with bold shades like Sun Yellow giving it extra flair.

Engine and Performance

Beneath the bonnet, the AMG CLE 53 packs its biggest surprise. A 3.0L inline-six twin-turbo engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system churns out 449 hp and 560 Nm of torque. Need a bit more punch? The overboost function takes it to 600 Nm for short bursts. That’s 0–100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds, with top speed capped at 250 km/h (270 km/h with the AMG Driver’s Package). The AMG Ride Control suspension and rear-axle steering mean you get precision handling whether on city streets or a racetrack.

Cabin and Comfort

Inside, the CLE 53 mixes sport and luxury effortlessly. Upholstered in Nappa leather with striking red contrast stitching, the sport seats set the tone for the cabin, complemented by a performance-focused flat-bottom AMG steering wheel and twin high-resolution digital displays for a modern, driver-centric feel. Features like Burmester 3D sound system, 64-color ambient lighting and panoramic sunroof make sure comfort matches the performance.

Safety and Tech

Eight airbags and a full suite of ADAS features ensure that this speed machine is as safe as it is quick. Adaptive damping keeps things smooth, while driver assistance tech adds a layer of reassurance for everyday use.
