2026 Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 - Fantastic Wide-Body Coupe!

2026 Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe in MANUFAKTUR Opalite White Bright: a close look at the AMG that sits almost 3 inches wider at the rear than a regular CLE, and what it costs against a BMW M440i xDrive. The CLE 53 gets its own flared fenders, a front track widened by 58 mm (2.3 in) and a rear track widened by 75 mm (almost 3 in), vertical-slat AMG grille, the Affalterbach crest on the hood and TURBO 4MATIC+ badges on the fender vents. Under the hood sits a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six with an electric auxiliary compressor and a 48-volt starter generator: 443 hp and 413 lb-ft, with 443 lb-ft on overboost for up to 10 seconds. Inside you get AMG Performance seats, carbon trim, an 11.9-inch portrait touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital cluster and Burmester sound. In the US the 2026 CLE 53 Coupe starts at $76,300 including destination, about $7,000 more than a BMW M440i xDrive Coupe. That buys 57 more horsepower, the widened body and standard rear-axle steering. The catch is weight: 4,377 lb, roughly 500 lb more than the BMW, because all-wheel drive, the 48-volt system and rear-axle steering all come standard.
