What powers the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe?The CLE 53 is powered by a 3.0-litre M 256M inline six-cylinder petrol engine with twin turbocharging and an electric additional compressor. Internal upgrades include optimised combustion chambers, redesigned inlet and outlet channels, new piston rings, improved injection, and a larger exhaust gas turbocharger.

The second-generation integrated starter generator (ISG), mounted in the gearbox bell housing, adds 23 bhp and 205 Nm. Operating within the 48-volt mild-hybrid system, it supports functions such as short-term electric boost, energy recuperation, load point shifting, sailing, and near-seamless start-stop operation. Which transmission does the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Coupe get?The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G automatic transmission uses closely spaced gear ratios to maintain engine performance within the optimal power band. It features rev-matched downshifts, multiple downshifts for rapid acceleration, and adaptive shift programming that alters behaviour depending on the selected drive mode. In “Sport+” and manual modes, shifts are immediate, while “Comfort” mode prioritises efficiency. Also Read : Mercedes G-Class hits 6 lakh production mark since 1979.

Standard rear-axle steering can turn up to 2.5 degrees opposite to the front wheels at speeds under 100 kmph for tighter manoeuvres, or up to 0.7 degrees in the same direction above that speed to enhance stability.
