- The AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe is set to debut in India on August 12, 2025. It boasts a 3.0-litre twin-turbo engine with 449 hp and a sleek design.
Mercedes-Benz India has confirmed that the much-anticipated AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe will officially launch in the country on August 12, 2025. The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe was first showcased globally in December 2024 as a replacement for both the C-Class and E-Class coupes.
This will be the second CLE model in India after the CLE 300 Cabriolet, which arrived in August last year. With the performance-oriented luxury coupe, Mercedes-Benz continues its strategy of expanding its AMG performance portfolio for the Indian market.
Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4Matic+ Coupe: Design
The AMG CLE 53 Coupe carries a distinct performance-focused design. Up front, it features the signature AMG Panamericana grille with vertical slats and aggressive-looking LED headlights. The bumper is noticeably sportier than the standard CLE Cabriolet, equipped with a large air dam for added visual impact.
From the sides, flared fenders and air exits behind the front wheel arches enhance its sporty stance. The coupe will be offered with 19-inch alloy wheels as standard, while larger 20-inch wheels will be available as optional extras. At the rear, the CLE 53 Coupe stands out with a wide stance, unified tail-lamp cluster, quad exhaust tips, a gloss-black diffuser, and air exits on both sides.
