Mercedes-Benz CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé uses an upgraded 3.0L inline six-cylinder petrol engine with twin turbochargers producing 449 hp and up to 600 Nm

Mercedes-Benz has expanded its top-end luxury performance portfolio in India with the launch of the CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé. Priced at Rs. 1.35 crore (ex-showroom), the new two-door coupé is an amalgamation of the sportiness and agility of the C-Class with the space and elegant looks of the E-Class. Customer deliveries for the model will begin immediately across Mercedes-Benz dealerships nationwide.

Powering the coupé is the upgraded 3.0L M 256M inline six-cylinder petrol engine with twin turbocharging which is capable of producing a maximum power output of 449 hp at 5,800–6,100 rpm and 560 Nm of torque delivered between 2,200 and 5,000 rpm. It also has an overboost function increasing torque output to 600 Nm but wait there is a lot more!

An electric additional compressor and a second generation integrated starter generator provide an extra 23 hp and 205 Nm for short bursts along with hybrid functions such as coasting, energy recuperation and smooth start-stop transitions. These enhancements enable the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.2 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 250 kmph.

It is extendable to 270 kmph with the optional AMG Driver’s Package. The fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive system will assure traction by distributing torque between the front and rear wheels depending on the driving conditions. The AMG-tuned suspension working in tandem with adaptive damping adjustable in Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes add to its spirited ride quality and handling.

Adding to its agility, the standard rear axle steering allows up to 2.5 degrees of steering angle. Transmission duties are handled by the AMG-spec nine-speed gearbox which offers rapid gear changes, double declutching and multiple downshifts when needed. Drivers can personalise their ride using selectable drive modes – Slippery, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual – or take full control through the manual mode operated via paddle shifters.

Stepping inside the cabin, the CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch portrait-style central touchscreen equipped with the latest MBUX infotainment system. AMG-specific displays including the “Supersport” layout highlight performance data, man-made leather and microfibre upholstery with red contrast stitching add a sporty finish.

The AMG Performance steering wheel incorporates intuitive controls allowing quick adjustments to vehicle settings without taking hands off the wheel. The coupé delivers a respectable WLTP-rated fuel consumption of 9.3–9.7 l per 100 km and CO₂ emissions between 212–220 g per km.
