Bold Design, Signature AMG
Mercedes-AMG designed the CLE 53 Cabriolet to captivate. Its long, sculpted hood and athletic shoulders hint at the power beneath, while the AMG-specific Panamericana grille and vertical air intakes leave no doubt about its intent. When you lower the soft top—crafted to minimize wind noise and operate at speeds up to 37 mph—you reveal a cockpit that blends sport with sophistication.
You can choose from exclusive paint finishes like Alpine Grey Metallic or MANUFAKTUR Patagonia Red and outfit your Cabriolet with 20-inch forged AMG wheels for an even bolder road presence.
