When you’re in a hurry to feel the wind in your hair, few cars do it better than the new 2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet. Want to cruise stylishly down the boulevard? No problem. Need a car for a quiet and scenic highway drive?

There are few things in this world that bring goosebumps to my skin faster than the stirring sound of six inline cylinders screaming as they hit the redline like waves in the Mediterranean Sea splashing against sandy beaches.

2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet's AMG-style fascia, vertical-slat grille, and swollen front and rear fenders distinguish it from the lesser CLE450 and CLE300 models.

The 2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet is the new top offering in the CLE convertible range. It sits above the CLE450 and CLE300 convertibles. The 2025 Mercedes-AMG CLE53 Cabriolet starts at $83,750. As in the other CLE models, seating is for four. AMG Performance front seats with aggressive side bolsters are available.

Today, the Mercedes droptop range is pared back to just two: the 2+2-seat SL roadster, which focuses firmly on the top of the market, and the four-passenger CLE Cabriolet, which has just added this range-topping Mercedes-AMG CLE53 trim.
