The 2024 Mercedes AMG clle 53: A New Era of Performance and Style

Sometime last summer, Mercedes showcased its new clle Coupe and convertible, which are designed to bridge the gap between C and eClass vehicles. These two options offer a nice compromise for those seeking more power and aggressive styling than their regular counterparts. However, with the introduction of the 2024 Mercedes AMG clle 53, Mercedes has taken it to the next level.

The AMG twodo employs a 3-liter inline-6 cylinder that works in conjunction with both a Turbocharger and an electric auxiliary compressor. This setup allows for continuous Boost on demand, as well as the ability to pump the Boost to 22 PSI for short bursts. The normal torque output is rated at 413 lb-ft, but buyers can request more for up to 12 seconds, resulting in 443 lb-ft of torque and horsepower that remains unchanged at 443 horsepower.

What's also worth noting is that this AMG twodo is a 48-volt mild hybrid car with an integrated starter generator. This system provides a bit of electrical assistance that lives in the bell housing on the 9-speed transmission, which can deliver 23 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque to assist the engine when driving at slow speeds. Additionally, this system aids in energy recuperation, keeps power up between shifts, and makes the start-stop system feel seamless.

The clle 53 is an all-wheel drive machine, but it's an AMG-built all-wheel drive system that means buyers can put it into drift mode and run it as a rear-wheel drive hooligan vehicle. However, this system also allows for automatic balance between rear wheel drive and all-wheel drive on the fly if needed. The different Drive modes vary between slippery Comfort, sport, Sport Plus, and individual, with torque becoming more rear-biased as you move through these modes.

When it comes to handling, Mercedes fits the car with rear axle steering as a standard item, which provides tight turning circles at low speeds and smooth lane changes at higher speeds. The brakes are 14.6-inch front units with four-piston calipers and 14.2-inch rear rotors with a single piston setup. For wheels, a set of 19s is standard, but 20-inch wheels are available as an option.

The styling of the clle 53 sets it apart from the regular clle offerings, thanks to its aggressive face, which features Twin power domes and an excellent facial design and sharp nose grill. The wheel design is also noteworthy, being simply awesome in the cabin. Buyers will find a 12.3-inch digital driver display as well as an 11.9-inch center display. The seats are trimmed in MBX and microfiber with contrasting red stitching, and buyers can opt for Napa leather if they prefer.

In terms of performance, Mercedes claims that the clle 53 will run from 0 to 60 mph in just four seconds, although it's likely quicker than that. The top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, but this car does sound like it would destroy on a racetrack while still being comfortable on a daily basis. If buyers are looking for even more performance, they might be waiting for the upcoming C63, which promises an insane 671 horsepower.
