Exterior design of the all-new 2024 Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe
At the front of the 2024 Mercedes-AMG CLE Coupe is a forward-sloping front section (shark nose), in combination with the precisely shaped hood that contributes to its athletic, refined presence. The AMG-specific radiator grille and flat, sharply cut LED headlights provide a particularly powerful aesthetic. Customers who desire more illumination can opt for the DIGITAL LIGHT headlights with a projection function. The front also features a raised A-shaped (A-Wing) middle section that allows for a large air inlet and outer air inlets with two cross slates for increased airflow.
The rear of the performance Coupe is characterized by flowing surfaces, smooth transitions, and two-part LED taillights with three-dimensional light bodies. The taillights are connected with a dark red design element, emphasizing the width of the rear of the vehicle. Round double-tailpipe trim accents are integrated into the rear fascia behind the wheel arches. Air flow around the wheel arches is optimized for improved aerodynamics.
AMG Performance Studio Package is optional on the grade. The package adds a more powerful aesthetic with additional flics on the front and rear fascia, a more pronounced spoiler lip on the trunk lid, and a rear diffuser board between the tailpipe trims. Also available on the model are two AMG Night packages and two AMG Carbon Fiber packages for further individualization.
Exquisite interior design and AMG-specific display
All grades are finished with unique equipment, exclusive materials, and the latest generation MBUX infotainment system. Standard on all grades is a free-standing 12.3-inch digital driver display and an 11.9-inch driver-oriented central display in a user-friendly portrait format. Mercedes also equipped the performance with 64-color dynamic ambient lighting that extends from the center console beneath the outer climate control vents. In each door, a strip of light runs along the contour lines of the armrest and the beltline to the rear seats.
To improve grip and comfort in the cabin, Mercedes-AMG equipped all grades with sporty integral seats. For the 2024 model year, MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery with AMG-specific graphics and red contrast stitching is fitted standard. Customers can also choose from several optional leather upholstery along with Nappa leather upholstery featuring an embossed AMG crest in the front headrests.
AMG Performance Seat Package is optional in all grades. The package includes a vertical opening for visual accents, weight saving, and better ventilation.
Also standard is the AMG Performance steering wheel with a double-spoke design and flattened bottom. Fast and intuitive operation of various dynamic driving functions and the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs are enabled by two round AMG DRIVE UNIT steering wheel buttons.
The driver display can be configured with three display styles – “Classic,” “Sport” and “Supersport.” The AMG exclusive “Supersport” style showcases a central round tachometer and horizontal displays with driver-focused content on either side, which creates a spatial impression of depth. The driver can use the AMG menu to display engine data, suspension and transmission settings, and more. The central multimedia display also emphasizes the vehicle’s dynamic character with individual AMG displays such as the visualization of the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs and vehicle telemetry data.
Engine, hybrid system, and performance
The new 2024 CLE 53 comes standard with an AMG-enhanced M256M 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 413 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. 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, this produces more power and torque when compared with a 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE.
The power output and torque of the performance luxury coupe have been increased by 23 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, thanks to the 48-volt electric system. The electric system does not function only as an electrical generator but also takes on mild hybrid functions, this includes supporting the ICE at lower speeds.
Braking system
For improved braking on the luxury performance coupe, Mercedes-AMG equipped the model with an in-house built high-performance brake system. The braking system consists of 14.6 x 1.4-inch perforated and internally ventilated discs with four-piston fixed calipers on the front axle and 14.2 x 1-inch internally ventilated discs with single-piston floating calipers on the rear axle.
Transmission and drive modes
The high-performance AMG-enhanced engine is mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission system, which impresses with short shift times, quick response, double-declutching function, and multiple downshifts. In manual mode, the driver can control gear changes by using the steering wheel shift paddles.
Five AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs are available on the CLE 53 Coupe – “Slippery,” “Comfort,” “Sport,” “Sport+” and “Individual”. These programs are designed to offer full control over the vehicle’s performance. 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.
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive and AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension
All grades are equipped with the standard AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive system which combines optimal traction for dynamic driving with a high level of driving safety irrespective of the condition. Intelligent control of all-wheel drive is integrated into the entire vehicle system architecture, which enables the transition between rear and all-wheel drive to occur continuously. Torque distribution is based on the driving situation. When driving moderately and in situations where all-wheel drive is not required, the front axle is completely decoupled to increase efficiency. From the ESP® “Sport” setting onwards, torque distribution is more rear-biased. In Drift mode, the new AMG CLE Coupe operates exclusively in rear-wheel drive.
All CLE 53 AMG Coupe are also equipped with AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension designed for handling agility, more neutral cornering, and greater traction. This system features three damper maps – “Comfort,” “Sport” and “Sport+”.
AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package
Customers who desire additional dynamic details and equipment can opt for the optional AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package. This package features a RACE drive program with drift mode and active engine mounts that allow increased spread between performance and comfort.
