  • MotoMan heads to Spain to chase down a nasty rumor: @Mercedes-AMG is giving us an all new coupe and there are a couple of bits not readily apparent. First, the 443 HP 2024 @mbusa AMG CLE 53 is a hybrid. Second, it is all wheel drive yet one with a drift mode. Last but not least, Mercedes AMG invested a lot into the body work of the Mercedes AMG CLE 53 to differentiate it from the @MercedesBenz CLE 450.

    Ah, a tweener like my old ‘05 CLK55 - part E-Class, part C-Class. Thank you Mercedes for not capitulating to 4 cylinder econo- motors! This things seems like a perfect successor to the CLK AMG!

      Merc thinks their customers want more power not realising they want the 63 for the sound. The 4 cylinder engine produces more power hence why the 63 gets that engine.

    The prices back home in the US/Canada are soooo cheap! I'm an American expat and have ordered a 450AMG CLE and it coats nearly 100,000 Euros :/ ...I did configure one of these and with options it was 110,000 Euros. My best friend (still in the US was shocked that we pay so much for cars here...and I used to work for Mercedes in Sindelfingen, so I still get a discount via friends). So, the next time that someone stateside complains about costs, remember that you all pay less than us here.

    This is without a doubt one of the best looking cars released recently. Don't understand the very droll review...The interior trim is perfect. Black on black is THE BEST..It would help if you used the interior lighting which is quite spectacular from what other reviews show. Also the power output when you pair the electric motor and overboost is nearer to 500bhp. They are quoting 4.2to the 100kph but I wont be surprised if its cracks 4 because it has those better Mich SP tyres...& some other current 53's have been known to crack 4

    My current daily is a C43 Coupe. When the new C class AMG range arrived I was massively disappointed. No Coupe and an engine choice that must of excited geeks for its technical spec, but suddenly made AMG owners turn to look at BMW M options. However, I can't stop watching reviews on the CLE 53! It just ticks all the boxes (OK maybe not the cheap shiny black on the centre console .. call it piano black, but it's awful and doesnt match the carbon fibre elsewhere?). Pricing will be interesting once announced, but MB should be applauded for the CLE 53 AMG COUPE. Exterior body heaven .... Love it!

    It´s been a while since i liked any new sporty looking car. Still have to be seen in person but i think this can be a great looking car under the right choice of color and trims. To my taste i would go RWD with a v8 like the amg of years ago and make it lighter whatever way possible but with a comfy yet competitive suspension setup and a touch lower to the ground. i know this will not happen but that´s just my opinion. Nowadays cars have to do so much stuff right and be liked by so many different people that is hard to find something unique and out of the beaten path. Still, looks great overall and must be a nice car to drive around.

      The Acura CL got destroyed by the Infiniti G35 coupe when that came out. Better in almost every way. You cant have a serious coupe with FWD. I had a CL and was truly disapointed when the G35 came out. The CL was a glorified Accord and probably the worst new car decision I made but at the time there were so few coupes and that is what I wanted. I bought a C class sedan C350 with a 6spd and sport pkg and was a superior driving car to the CL and never looked back, in fact I drove it for 14 years which got replaced with the C43 wagon

    I have been a MB & AMG owner for many years now and I think this will be a winner IF it has emotional sound and IF the CLE53 is the leader model by not introducing a CLE43 and a CLE35 that looks identical to the CLE53 because AMG has that bad habit of cloning a model with less power.

    I will wait for you to test drive it to consider it. The exterior is stunning and deserves a hyper screen. Agreed. I see a lot of C in this E interior with probably an S price for a well equipped one. MB is going at it with the piano black. Such a turn off. I absolutely love my ‘21 E53 Coupe interior. The absence of the B pillar to the metal latch to fold the standard seats forward… All gone… so disappointing… but yeah, the Big Bertha rear is truly stunning.
