About the 2025 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE
1st generation (2024-present); second model year for the Coupe and first model year for the Cabriolet
Mercedes-AMG positions the CLE 53 as a four-seat performance touring car that blends strong acceleration and responsive handling with everyday comfort and modern cabin technology. It combines the compact feel associated with the former C-Class coupe and the space and road presence associated with the former E-Class coupe. Coupe and Cabriolet bodies share a turbocharged six-cylinder mild-hybrid powertrain, fully variable AWD, adaptive suspension, and rear-wheel steering.
The 2025 AMG CLE 53 is a four-seat performance two-door offered as a Coupe or Cabriolet, with the convertible adding open-air driving to the lineup. Both use a 443-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with mild-hybrid assist, all-wheel drive, adaptive suspension, and rear-wheel steering. Inside, a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, an 11.9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Burmester audio are key features.
