2025 CLE 53 Cabriolet
2024 CLE53 amg
Does anyone have any info on the 2024 CLE53 cabriolet in terms of when it will be available and what the engine specs will be ? Hopefully it will be higher power than the current E53 .

Me too! Anxiously awaiting news on the New CLE in AMG config.
We've seen the CLE launch and wondering when the AMG config will launch.
From all I've been able to find out the CLE AMG should use the new M256 making 429 HP @ 6100 rpm and 384 ft-lb of torque from 1800 rpm and up. Awesome numbers! Wait, what? Only 384 ft-lb? What is important is how early the power comes on, 1800 rpm! And maintaining that level up to 'almost' max hp (just speculating as I haven't seen the hp/tq curve) is spectacular. It's the area under the curves that makes a car fast, not just peak numbers. Amazing what can be done with a boost controller and an electric motor driven turbo.
If there is a CLE63 the power should be upwards of there.
Ciao for now...

Hi MJP 43 , I just noticed that you have almost identical car to the one I had before my E450Cab ie ,a C43 Brilliant Blue with Cranberry Red interior - a great car . I'm quite looking forward to the new CLE Cab ,particularly the CLE53 .Right now can't get any info on the production schedule and the prices , but a new vehicle is always exciting !!

Hey,
Yes, I agree, a pretty great car. I've only seen one other Brilliant Blue, it was a convertible. Otherwise very few C43 coupes around. Probably what contributed to MB's decision to go all-4-door with the C-Class.
V6 motor, brakes, suspension and exhaust note (better with flaps open) are stellar and, the design is the best looking coupe on the market bar none - IMO. And, the gas mileage can be surprisingly good if you don't romp on it.
I do have a few gripes about the transmission, it's a little schizophrenic. Got a new valve body in Feb but didn't solve the sharp upshift when coasting issue that I was concerned about. But other than that just some minor nits; Nav system is wonky - keeps reporting "Traffic Events" when there aren't any, seat belt retractor doesn't always retract, and that wonderful welcome graphic doesn't display when you get in and start the car. You get that stupid message, "Don't forget your key" when getting in...so how did I get in if I didn't have the key (fob).
I would have bought the same exact car in 2024; 2-Door with all of the new tech, 4-wheel steering, 245Ft/275Rr tires and the great camera system.
So now I await the new CLE53. I hope that it will be available as a 2024 model.

I just read in the Toronto Globe and Mail that only the Cle 300 will be coming to Canada ,not the 450 . I don't believe this ,makes no sense !. It probably means initially only the 300 . Anyway I'm sure the AMGs will follow in due course which is the main thing . I remember last year when the ' news' said the CLE would not come to the USA in any form !!

I agree, it doesn't make sense, especially how we only had an E 400 and 450 here in coupe/convertible (C238 gen specifically) form.

Awesome, looking forward to this one. This is high on the top of my shopping list. Can't wait to get back in to a traditional coupe.. sad about the b-pillar situation but whatever let's see the car already.
but the coupé works better for me.
