New Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Hits Indian Roads: Price, Speed & Performance Details

Mercedes-Benz has added fresh muscle to its AMG line-up in India with the launch of the CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe. Building on the CLE Cabriolet’s debut earlier this year, the coupe arrives with a wider stance, sharper looks, and serious performance cred.

Design & Style

The CLE 53 wears the AMG Panamericana grille with vertical slats, flared wheel arches, a sculpted bumper, and quad exhausts for that unmistakable AMG aggression. It rides on 20-inch Y-spoke black alloys wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres, while a gloss-black diffuser and connected LED tail-lamps give the rear a sporty finish.

Cabin & Tech

Inside, the coupe blends luxury with performance focus — Nappa leather sports seats, AMG-exclusive stitching, and a flat-bottom steering wheel with drive mode controls set the tone. A 12.3-inch digital cluster pairs with an 11.9-inch MBUX touchscreen offering wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Burmester 3D audio, 64-colour ambient lighting, wireless charging, and a panoramic sunroof. Driving modes range from Slippery to Sport+, with an AMG Dynamics program for added thrill.

Power & Performance

Under the hood is a 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six with a 48V mild-hybrid system, pushing out 450 hp and 560 Nm. Paired with a 9-speed automatic and 4MATIC+ AWD, it rockets from 0–100 kmph in 4.2 seconds. Top speed? 250 kmph - or 270 kmph with the AMG Performance Package.

Safety & Colours

Eight airbags, Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, PRE-SAFE tech, and a 360° camera come standard. Buyers can pick from bold shades like Alpine Grey, Patagonia Red Metallic, and Sun Yellow.

With its blend of style, luxury, and raw power, the CLE 53 promises to be a head-turner on Indian roads.
