/PRCWT/Shenzhen, December 06, 2023 - Mercedes-AMG, a well-known brand in the field of high-performance cars, recently unveiled a new model that inherits the tradition of the E53 coupe - the new AMG CLE 53. This new car is not only a comprehensive upgrade in power, appearance and interior, but also takes AMG's performance to a new level.
The biggest highlight of the new AMG CLE 53 is its powertrain. The new car is equipped with an in-line six-cylinder gasoline engine developed by AMG and is equipped with an ISG motor to form an advanced mild hybrid system. The engine has a maximum power of 449 hp (330 kW) and a maximum torque of 413 lb-ft (560 Nm), which can be increased to 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) for 12 seconds when supercharging is activated. This powerful power output, combined with an additional 23 HP and 205 nm of torque from the second-generation integrated starter generator, gives the new AMG CLE 53 a significant boost in performance.
In terms of drivetrain, the new AMG CLE 53 matches the AMG SpeedShift TCT 9G gearbox and the AMG Performance 4MATIC+ four-wheel-drive system. This perfect power combination allows the new car to accelerate from a standstill to 62 MPH in 4.2 seconds, with a maximum electronic speed limit of 250 km/h or 270 km/h. With the optional AMG Dynamic Plus package, two additional driving modes are available: Racing and drifting.
In terms of exterior design, the new AMG CLE 53 features a new front bumper and AMG's signature Panamericana air intake grille to highlight its sporty character. Standard LED headlights are optional with AMG's digital lighting feature, and unique exterior mirrors, wider front and rear fenders, redesigned rear bumpers and rear spoilers all set them apart.
In terms of interior, the new AMG CLE 53 is equally excellent. There is a 12.3-inch digital dashboard display in front of the driver, and a touch screen on the center console measures 11.9 inches. The AMG Performance flat-bottomed steering wheel comes standard in black leather and Alcantara wrap. The dashboard panel also features extensive carbon fiber trim, red contrast stitching, and the seats are wrapped in leather and microfiber to create a sporty and luxurious driving environment.
The new AMG CLE 53 also has a larger front and rear wheel base to make the vehicle look wider. The suspension uses AMG's Ride Control suspension with continuously variable dual-valve shock absorbers. The steering system has also been improved with a new gear ratio and offers rear-wheel steering with a maximum steering Angle of 2.5 degrees. These improvements further enhance the vehicle's handling performance and driving experience.
In general, the new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 coupe inherits the tradition of the E53 while carrying out comprehensive upgrades and innovations in terms of power, appearance, interior and so on. This not only demonstrates AMG's commitment to high-performance vehicles, but also reaffirms its leading position in the automotive industry.
