AMG CLE in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the CLE53 4Matic+ continues as the Malaysian AMG CLE following its 2025 launch. The latest AMG CLE development is the CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung, a 30-unit special with a 646 PS 4.0-litre biturbo V8, chassis upgrades and handling upgrades. Testing has also been reported for an extreme limited-edition V8-powered CLE.
Verdict
The CLE53 asks serious money for a compact executive coupe. At RM722,888, it costs RM204,000 more than the Mercedes-Benz CLE’s RM518,888 entry price, though RM155,912 less than the RM878,800 BMW M4 Coupe. Its appeal rests on the 449 PS, 600 Nm inline-six turbo setup and quoted 4.2-second time, with AWD and a four-seat layout. The purchase case is performance-led, not a budget route into the class.
