Mercedes-AMG could do with a feel-good hit. Is a 449hp, six-cylinder coupe the answer?
since the first drives occurred over a year and a half ago. In that time, Mercedes-AMG has gone on to launch V8-powered 63s for the, yet it's thought of the electrified C that continues to linger because we await a second, conclusive bite of the cherry. Having created this vacuum, the manufacturer could do with a quick and easy win to fill it. On paper, there's a good chance its brawny new coupe might be exactly that.
The CLE 53’s broader shoulders are particularly noticeable on the narrow, twisty and mostly blind corners that line our test route in southern Tenerife, where every passing coach prompts an involuntary inhale through gritted teeth. It’s a big thing, and a heavy one too at dead-on 2,000kg, though for the most part the CLE disguises its heft well with a responsive front-end and rear-wheel steering that neatly tucks the back in through tighter hairpins.
It is mightily effective in a straight line and the rear-biased all-wheel drive system spits you out of corners like a released bungee. It’d be even better if the straight-six turbo engine was a bit more characterful, though. Don’t get me wrong, it’s more pleasant than the booming drone emitted by the C 63's 2.
