2024 CLE Selector
FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE 53, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
Like many current Mercedes models, the CLE gives you a choice between the regular-strength 3.0-liter inline-6 (that's the CLE 450) and the extra-strength version, which comes in the AMG CLE 53. Will the 450 leave you wanting more? That's ultimately a question for your test drive, but in our opinion, the 450 is just right and the AMG is simply louder and more caffeinated.
