Welcome back to RBR guys! And today we're getting our first drive of one of the best looking amgs that you can currently buy: the new #MercedesAMG #CLE53 Cabriolet!
And it is an Absolutely gorgeous car, with a unique wide-body on the front and rear, getting its worth increased just like we used to have in the C63 #AMG Black Series. We have the excellent wheels that we find in the new AMG GT, and a lovely soft top in a number of colours.
And it's one of the few drop tops that you can buy, not just in the world but at AMG too, with the only this and the SL being your real options. The SL 43 is a similar price too, but I think this will wipe the floor with it!
But more than the looks is the fact that it has an engine that we actually like to inline six cylinder 450 horsepower, Overboost up to 600 Newton meters thanks to the hybrid system too, giving a 0-60 of 4.2 (we test faster!) That’s paired to a 9-speed AMG TCT box, AMG ride control suspension, rear axle steering, better brakes, etc. So it's a proper AMG package in an entry level car!
We’ve driven and loved the coupé: but today is all about seeing what this Cabriolet is like versus the coupe. AMG say that they've configured it to be a bit more comfortable versus the coupe, and we will discover that later on before we head out.
Today I've got two variants of this car that both look absolutely gorgeous. We've got one which is our much more sporty AMG spec in arctic grey and the GT wheels, and one that I like in a bit more to Mercedes/Maybach in Patagonia red with the chrome package. Both cars have the all important AMG dynamics Plus pack with the red calipers, race mode, dynamic engine mounts and more.
In terms of exhaust, they also have “AMG Real Sound” — something our UK coupe didn’t have, as you saw in my last video: however after that video and discussions with UK and Germany, I’m pleased to inform you that from December onwards it will be standard! Doing God’s work for you guys. ;)
Now drop tips are few and far between, and one of the only real competitors to this car is the BMW M4 convertible. Recently drove the M4 competition LCI, and there's some things that the CLE just does better just in terms of pure drop-top technology. The roof will close in 15 seconds rather than the 4 series 18secs, and you can still operate it up to 37mph rather than the 31mph of the BMW.
The famed “air scarf” heater is available in AMG‘s bucket seats, and it also gets the “air cap” option. This utilises two aerodynamic elements, one on the front windscreen, and one behind the passenger cell. These reduce turbulence in the interior when the roof is down, really useful for someone with long hair like me!
Regardless, the BMW M4 is on another level in terms of performance, and while this car is not meant to be a rival to it — many customers are considering one against the other because of both the price similarity, and the fact that the rumoured V8 CLE 63 isn’t here yet.
How good is the CLE 53 cabriolet as an entry-level AMG, particularly versus the SL and the BMW? Let’s find out today!
