About the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE
1st generation, first model year (2024); all-new AMG CLE 53 Coupe
Mercedes-AMG positions the CLE as a four-seat performance coupe that blends everyday comfort and useful cabin space with strong acceleration and agile handling. Its core appeal is grand-touring versatility: it is roomy and well-equipped enough for regular driving, while the turbocharged six-cylinder engine, variable AWD, adaptive suspension, and rear steering provide the sharper responses expected from an AMG model.
The CLE 53 4MATIC+ is positioned as a four-seat performance coupe that balances quick responses with everyday comfort and space. It pairs a 443-hp turbocharged six-cylinder engine with variable AWD, adaptive suspension, rear-axle steering, an 11.9-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch driver display.

“It's AWD, AMG with performance and handling. A true coupe and the styling is sporty and stout. Not to mention the color, package and stance. The interior is amazing I love the heads up display, color large console, middle console access to all needed digital displays and vehicle changes. The seats are amazing along with multi function adjustability. Overall it's an amazing vehicle and I love it.”
