Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe will come to India on August 12, 2025, as the second CLE model to arrive in the market following the CLE 300 Cabriolet. Internationally launched in December 2024, the performance-oriented luxury coupe has been designed to replace both the C-Class and E-Class coupes and strengthen the AMG performance line in the Indian market. It has a far uglier face than the CLE Cabriolet and is powered by an inline-six turbo-petrol engine.
Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe: Design
The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe adorns the signature AMG Panamericana front grille with vertical slats, accompanied by sporty LEDs on either side. The front bumper is more menacing than that of the CLE Cabriolet, with a large air dam, while the coupe receives flared fenders to widen its stance. The rear section has a glossy black rear diffuser with a quad-exhaust unit. Mercedes is likely to equip the CLE 53 Coupe with 19-inch wheels, with 20-inch wheels as an optional fitment.
