Vehicle highlights

Lifestyle. In a completely new light.

Some things appear in a completely new light when you simply change perspective. In this case, the new MULTIBEAM LED headlamps change the surroundings and allow them to shine in a completely new level of brightness. This means you can see what is happening around you quicker and better. The new drive concept is evident from the "Turbo 4MATIC+" badge on the wing and allows the Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4MATIC+ to shine in a new light. In addition, it is extremely dynamic while out and about thanks to its powerdomes, its wide shoulders and its clear contours.

Exterior design

Makes every road into a catwalk.

A perfect and unmistakeable exterior is part and parcel of the perfect look. Here, this unmistakeable element is reflected in the two new round tailpipe trim elements. Practically typical for AMG is the striking spoiler lip which reduces aerodynamic lift on the rear axle – and gives the vehicle a powerful stance on the road.

Mercedes-AMG exterior

Stylishly elegant appearance that exudes sheer performance: eye-catching details such as the radiator grille with twin louvres and the two round twin tailpipe trim elements define the character of your Mercedes-AMG. The AMG RIDE CONTROL+ air suspension provides the character you prefer at any given time – comfort on long journeys or sporty driving dynamics.

AMG light-alloy wheels

50.8 cm (20-inch) AMG 5-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in matt black with high-sheen rim flange, with 245/35 R 20 tyres on 8 J x 20 ET10 wheels (front) and 275/30 R 20 tyres on 9 J x 20 ET28 wheels (rear).

AMG Night package

The image shows the rear of the Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4MATIC+ viewed from the side.

With the AMG Night package, selected exterior elements are finished in high-gloss black. Depending on the selected paint colour, this results in bold contrasts or fluid transitions. Exciting touches or confident understatement: in both cases you are demonstrating your sense of individual, dynamic design.

Interior design

Raising a furore on the outside. Sport couture on the inside.

The sportiest form of a car means nothing if you cannot feel the vehicle and its power in the interior. That is why there is the AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather in the Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4MATIC+. And illuminated air vents as well as seats with AMG-specific seat upholstery layout and "AMG" badge for good measure. With the optional trim elements in carbon fibre and glass fibre, things not only get a lot sportier, but also more modern.

Performance

Horse power: anything but a fashion accessory.

We are not content with what has already been achieved. We want to continue. Our new engine is emblematic of this: a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder in-line turbo engine with an output of 320 kW (435 hp)<p>Figures for rated output and rated torque pursuant to Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007 in the currently applicable version.</p>. On top of this, 48-volt electrification and the integral starter-alternator can generate up to 16 kW of additional output. In addition, an electrical auxiliary compressor ensures the engine is outstandingly responsive across the full engine speed range.

3.0-litre 6-cylinder in-line turbocharged engine with additional electric compressor

Systematically electrified for an outstanding driving experience – the Integrated Starter-Alternator boosts and recovers energy, while the 48 V onboard electrical system supplies the power consumers and the auxiliary compressor provides torque from just above idle speed. A boon: the smooth running of the six cylinders arranged in line.

AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension

The particularly sportily tuned AMG RIDE CONTROL+ suspension combines the advantages of several suspensions in one. The multi-chamber air suspension offers a very broad spread between the most comfortable and most sporty set-up and adapts to the given load. It delivers strong performance in every driving situation – just as you wish.

AMG Performance 4MATIC+

Excellent handling even in difficult road conditions – thanks to 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive in combination with ABS, ESP® and the Electronic Traction System 4ETS. When driving in the wet, ice or snow, traction, driving dynamics and driving stability are all improved.

Selectable AMG Performance exhaust system

The image shows the touchpad with Controller in the Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4MATIC+.

A special acoustic experience comes courtesy of the selectable AMG Performance exhaust system. Variable adjustable exhaust flaps give you the option to change the sound of the vehicle at the press of a button. Depending on the drive program, the sound characteristics change from unobtrusive comfort through to maximum emotive appeal.

AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G

The AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G impresses sporty drivers with dynamic shift characteristics and the emotively appealing double-clutching function. Depending on the drive program it masters fast, sporty gear-changing or comfortable, barely noticeable shift operations: Its 9 gears ensure that the engine is particularly frequently in the ideal speed range.
