Overview
The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE is a four-seat compact executive coupe for buyers who want an AMG-badged, all-wheel-drive Mercedes rather than the regular CLE. Malaysia gets the C236-generation CLE53 4Matic+ only, pairing petrol-hybrid assistance with a wet dual-clutch automatic. It starts from RM722,888 and launched locally in 2025.
AMG CLE in 2026 — what's new
The Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE carries into 2026 unchanged in Malaysia, with the CLE53 4Matic+ remaining the sole variant. It uses a 2,999 cc petrol-hybrid powertrain, all-wheel drive and a wet dual-clutch automatic. An extreme Mercedes-AMG CLE development car is undergoing testing, but there is no confirmed production Black Series, V8 specification, Malaysian launch or price to add to the current range.

Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The CLE53's appeal is clear on paper: 463 hp, AWD and a wet dual-clutch transmission in a four-seat coupe. Its RM722,888 entry point sits RM204,000 above the regular CLE's starting price, though RM155,912 below the BMW M4 Coupe. That does not make it a cheap route into an AMG coupe. Ride, handling and real-world performance need a proper local drive to settle.
