Not quite an SL, but still a handsome convertible
It might not boast the cachet of the SL nomenclature, but there’s no denying the new CLE makes for a handsome Mercedes-Benz convertible. Even more so now it’s been to AMG’s finishing school, which hasn’t just boosted power but also the length of the name.
So, deep breath one and all, and welcome to the new Mercedes-AMG CLE53 4Matic+ Cabriolet. No, it’s not a catchy name, though AMG’s saved that punch for the drivetrain.That’s right, it comes with a 5.3-liter V8! Just kidding. It actually comes fitted with a blown 3.0-liter straight-six gasoline, whose turbo gets an electric compressor and whose flanks are also fed by a 48V starter-generator giving an additional bit of e-boost.
The AMG Dynamic Plus pack—an option—gives you goodies like a ‘race start’ function for quicker 0-100, a ‘race’ mode, and red brake calipers, among other things. Speaking of other things, the CLE53 gets wider, flared arches, a wider track front and back, bigger 19-inch wheels as standard, LED headlights, an AMG-ified front and rear, and of course, four exhaust tips.The optional styling pack adds yet more menace, in the shape of skirt flicks and a rear spoiler.
Oh, and there’s a folding fabric roof, able to open or close in 20sec at up to 60kph, which eats a bit into the rear cargo space . But you can fold the seats down for more. Not that you ever will, because this is a handsome, convertible Mercedes-Benz with an unpunchy name and a very punchy drivetrain.
