2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe UK Version Specs & Pictures

With the new CLE53 4MATIC+ Coupé, Mercedes-AMG combines the best of both worlds – the agility and sporting character of the C-Class with the prestige of the E-Class. This fusion creates an exceptionally good-looking coupé with a distinctive AMG design that also has a great deal to offer on a technical level.
 

The strikingly designed front apron is raised in the middle section in an A-shape. This allows for a large air inlet for high air flow. This also applies to the outer air inlets with two cross slats. Distinctive shaped edges structure the side view. The flared front and rear fenders, the wide track (plus 58 millimetres at the front, plus 75 millimetres at the rear compared to the Mercedes-Benz model) and the 20-inch wheels give the new AMG Coupé a powerful appearance.
 
The new CLE53 4MATIC+ uses a comprehensively upgraded version of the 3.0-litre M 256 inline six-cylinder turbo engine with optimised combustion chambers with redesigned inlet and outlet channels, new piston rings, optimised injection and a new exhaust gas turbocharger. In conjunction with the new electric additional compressor, this offers an increase in boost pressure by 0.4 bar to 1.5 bar and thus a higher torque of 560 Nm in continuous operation and 600 Nm in overboost.
 

With 449 hp between 5,800 and 6,100 rpm, the new CLE53 4MATIC+ can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds (with RACE START enabled). The top speed is electronically limited to 155mph.
 
The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive combines optimal traction for dynamic driving with a high level of driving safety under all conditions. From the ESP Sport setting onwards, the driving behaviour is more rear-focused. And in Drift Mode, the new AMG CLE Coupé is programmed as a rear-wheel drive vehicle across the entire speed range.
 

The standard AMG RIDE CONTROL chassis developed in Affalterbach is used for more agility, more neutral cornering behaviour and higher traction. The steel suspension with a particularly sporty spring-damper set-up and adaptive adjustable damping combines excellent handling with a high level of comfort.
 
The standard rear-axle steering operates with a maximum steering angle of 2.5 degrees. The rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels at speeds of up to 62 mph (variable depending on the AMG DYNAMICS setting). At speeds of more than 62 mph, the rear wheels turn parallel to the front wheels – up to a maximum of 0.7 degrees.
