Mercedes-Benz has announced Australian pricing and specifications for its new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé, which is priced from $158,500 plus on-road costs and features a 330kW 48V hybridised inline six.
The central story of the CLE’s AMG transformation is its 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which is enhanced by an electric auxiliary compressor and a 48V mild-hybrid system to make 330kW of power and 560Nm of torque. But thanks to an overboost function, up to 600Nm of torque is available for up to 12-second bursts.
The CLE 53 uses a nine-speed automatic gearbox and sends power to all four wheels for a 0-100km/h sprint time of just 4.0 seconds, thanks to the AMG Dynamic Plus package standard on the coupé in Australia – and on to a top speed of 250km/h. Because of the mild-hybrid system, the claimed combined fuel consumption is just 9.6L/100km.

Part of the transformation to the CLE 53 includes widened front and rear tracks - by 58mm and 75mm respectively - for a more aggressive stance and more focused road holding.
The CLE 53 also includes rear-axle steering, which can turn the wheels by 2.5 degrees to enhance cornering ability, while the adaptive dampers and driving modes give owners the ability to further tailor the driving experience to their tastes. They can even adjust the torque flow for sharper cornering.
On the outside, AMG-specific details are seen in the radiator trim, front and rear bumpers, lip spoiler and the large 20-inch alloy wheels, which further enhance the CLE 53’s sporty nature.
Inside the CLE 53, an AMG Performance steering wheel is trimmed in Nappa leather and suede, along with AMG Performance leather seats featuring embossed logos on the headrests.
