Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Cabriolet
Air, spark and electricity join forces in an AMG automobile just waiting to be opened up. From its triple-boosted powertrain to its power top to its intelligent tech, the 443-hp AMG CLE 53 Cabriolet is built to turn every breeze into a rush.
A race that knows no finish line.
In an old mill in 1967, two engineers with a passion for motorsports began turning Mercedes-Benz sedans into winning racecars. Today, AMG continues to create victory on the track and desire on the streets of the world. Every Mercedes-AMG vehicle is the product of craftsmen, designers, engineers and racers who live for a singular goal: Driving Performance.
Born to perform, developed to outperform
A Mercedes-AMG engine starts with the state of the art. Everything from fuel pressure to exhaust routing is developed to quicken, heighten and intensify its response, and yours. From patented processes to cut friction to a new generation of electrified performance, AMG technology is fueled by its racing success.
Five driving modes
Fine-tune your CLE 53 with just a few taps. AMG DYNAMIC SELECT offers a range of modes that adapt the throttle, shifting, steering and more to suit the situation or your driving spirit. There's even a mode you can customize.
Three kinds of boost
Turbocharging plus an electric auxiliary compressor boost the AMG-enhanced inline-6 to 443 hp and 413 lb-ft, or brief bursts to 443 lb-ft. Electric hybrid assist can add 23 hp and 151 lb-ft gas-free. Zero to 60 takes just four seconds. Disclaimer[4]
Nine-speed symphony
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9-speed offers multiple modes and quick gear changes. Shift paddles on the AMG Performance steering wheel offer manual control, along with multi-gear downshifts.
Four-pipe harmony
Available AMG Real Performance Sound lets you heighten the emotional rewards of the car's natural performance soundtrack. Selectable modes let you adjust how the actual engine and exhaust tones are experienced from inside the cabin.
Sensations for every sense
Between sky above and road below is the bond between the CLE 53 Cabriolet and its driver. Every drivetrain and chassis component is engineered to collaborate for natural feel, lithe agility and confident footwork.
Sharp in every season
AMG Performance 4MATIC+ fully variable all-wheel drive distributes torque in response to the surface, scenario or season. A Drift mode in the AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package can operate in 100% rear-wheel drive. Disclaimer[5] Disclaimer[6]
Crisp in every curve
Standard 2.5° rear-axle steering can turn opposite or with the front wheels based on speed, mode and vehicle dynamics, to enhance stability, agility and maneuverability. AMG parameter steering adapts feel and feedback as well. Disclaimer[7]
Focused in every moment
Multimode AMG RIDE CONTROL can quickly adapt the damping at each wheel via separate valves for compression and rebound. The AMG DYNAMIC PLUS Package adds Race and Drift modes, red brake calipers, and dynamic engine mounts. Disclaimer[8]
Everything under the racing sun
What AMG learns from winning on the track goes into every model for the street. Intelligent digital technology, extensive human knowledge and intense passion run deep to the core and shine on every surface.
Intuitive information
Dual digital displays are reconfigurable and adapt to ambient light. The portrait-style central touchscreen is canted to the driver and tilt-adjustable. An available AMG Head-Up Display helps keep you even more focused on the road. Disclaimer[9]
Sumptuous support
Along with infinite headroom with the top down, the four CLE 53 seats offer ample legroom any time. Front seats feature heating and AIRSCARF® neck warming, plus the racing-inspired option of AMG Performance seats.
Audio artistry
Burmester®, Germany's renowned crafter of high-end audio, has created a surround sound system that includes speakers built into the front seats. The sound spectrum, not merely volume, adapts to speed and top position. Disclaimer[10]
Fingertip finesse
Nappa leather, microfiber and a carbon effect can trim the AMG Performance steering wheel. Capacitive touch buttons on its twin spokes keep countless features at hand. The AMG DRIVE UNIT does likewise with performance settings.
Poised precision
A range of AMG® wheels is available from 19 to 20 inches, all staggered in width and set on a wider track than other CLE Cabriolets. Two 20-inch forged options offer lighter weight and a great view of the AMG brake hardware. Disclaimer[11] Disclaimer[12] Disclaimer[13] Disclaimer[14]
Individual impressions
Five exterior packages can showcase your own sense of style with gloss black, aero and carbon fiber elements. MANUFAKTUR paint options include special metallic, nonmetallic and matte "Magno" shades.
