(New Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé 2024)

▪ The latest generation MBUX with AMG-specific functions and displays
▪ Mild-hybrid six-cylinder inline engine with double charging and starter-generator
▪ Fully variable all-wheel drive and active rear-axle steering

With the new CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupé (combined fuel consumption 9.7-9.3 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions 220-212 g/km), Mercedes-AMG is sharpening its product portfolio and redefining the entry-level performance coupé segment. The sporty, elegant two-door model combines the best of two worlds: the agility and sportiness of the C-Class with the space and status of the E-Class. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine with double charging via an exhaust gas turbocharger and an electric additional compressor has been thoroughly modified and produces now 330 kW (449 hp). It provides a maximum torque of 560 Nm (with overboost 600 Nm for 12 seconds). The integrated starter generator briefly supplies an additional 17 kW (23 hp) of power and 205 Nm of torque. It also feeds the 48-volt on-board electrical system. Other technical features of the new model include the AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and the fully variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive.


AMG-enhanced engine with hybrid assist and electric auxiliary compressor:
The new CLE 53 uses a comprehensively upgraded, AMG-enhanced M256M 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine. The high-performance engine impresses with optimized combustion chambers with redesigned inlet and outlet channels, new piston rings, optimized injection and a new exhaust gas turbocharger. In conjunction with the new electric auxiliary compressor, this offers a 5.8 psi increase in boost pressure to 22 psi to produce 413 lb-ft of torque as well as 443 lb-ft with overboost for up to 12 seconds.

The improved electric auxiliary compressor can now be operated almost continuously over a longer period of time to provide higher torque at a wider range of engine speeds and enhance overall responsiveness of the engine. In addition, this allows for a larger exhaust gas turbocharger to be fitted for higher peak performance.


AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission:
The AMG-enhanced engine is coupled with an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission, which impresses with short shift times, quick response, double-declutching function and multiple downshifts. The transmission is especially responsive in the "Sport+" drive program with immediate upshifts and downshifts. In manual mode, the driver can control gear changes by using the steering wheel shift paddles. Transmission calibration is tailored for a variety of driving situations, such as dynamic acceleration or efficiency, depending on the drive program selected.

AMG DYNAMICS integrated with AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs:
Five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs – "Slippery," "Comfort," "Sport," "Sport+" and "Individual" – enable a broad spectrum of driving characteristics. These range from efficient and comfortable to highly dynamic. Parameters for the engine, transmission, suspension and steering are specially tuned for each drive program. Regardless of the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT driving program selected, the driver can switch directly to manual mode to control gear changes using the steering wheel shift paddles. The suspension settings can also be controlled independently.
