  • The CLE is something new from Mercedes. On the outside of this CLE 53 you will find AMG forged wheels, functional hood vent and full LED lighting. On the inside you will be greeted bya full leather interior. Under the hood is a 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 producing 443HP. Is the 2025 Mercedes AMG CLE 53 a BETTER performance coupe than an Audi RS5?

    This car is incredible. And videos and photos do not do it justice. It is absolutely STUNNING on the road. Easily the best looking coupe if not the best looking car on the road today, outside of an Aston and the like.

  • @carguyeyedoc
    @carguyeyedoc 2 години тому +1

    In terms of performance: S5 --> M440i = CLE53 -> RS5 --> M4comp. I'd probably choose the RS5 over this purely based on driving experience, but both are excellent choices if you want something a bit more comfortable/livable than an M4comp without sacrificing performance a ton.

  • @olivierdevries01

    Joe - They should have put that engine in the C43. Just saying......
    Also, in regards to the gear shifts. You need to see if the transmission fluid was at operating temperature. It takes a long time for it to heat up. I have a C43 and it makes a difference.

  • @Boguardis
    @Boguardis 3 години тому

    I have an 08 e63 in my garage and hate the fact that the new c63 got rid of the V8, plus no more coupe. My 6.2 naturally aspirated engine sounds incredible and has great throttle response.
    Do you know when the CLE63 will come out? Im not real hopeful but I would love it if AMG put the hand built 4.0 twin turbo in the 63.

    • @Boguardis
      @Boguardis 3 години тому

      I think one reason they might put a V8 in the CLE63 is that there wouldn't be any other V8 coupe for Mercedes other than the GT. Shit even the S class got rid of the coupe a while ago

    The 53 is an S5 competitor. 63 is the RS5 competitor.

    • @evaristocorripio5434
      @evaristocorripio5434 2 години тому

      Kind of, but the 43 has been the s5/s4 competitor so this 53 is above a 43, although there’s no 43 version of this car

    • @epicswirl
      @epicswirl Годину тому +1

      @ You’re referring to the C43 and the C class lineup. There’s no C53. The C43 is the S5/M440i competitor and the C63 is the RS5/M4 competitor.
      There’s two versions of this CLE. 53 and 63. Note there is no 43 version. The 53 is the direct competitor to the S5 and M440i. The 63 is the competitor to the RS5 and M4. There’s no uncertainty here. It’s straightforward and confirmed.
