Its four-cylinder engine puts out 258PS of power and 400Nm of torque. The presence of a 48V electric motor further provides a temporary boost of 22PS and 250Nm, as and when demanded. The engine transfers power to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. 

On the features front, the CLE Cabriolet offers a vertical touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, coloured head-up display, augmented reality navigation system, sports seats, Dolby Atmos sound system and a fabric soft-top roof in red and black colour options. Furthermore, Mercedes-Benz is offering the CLE Cabriolet in 8 exterior colour options and 3 interior upholstery colour options.

Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe Launched

The popular AMG GLC 43 Coupe returns to India in its new generation. The Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe price has gone up to Rs 1.11 crore ex-showroom since the new model is brought to the market via the CBU route whereas the outgoing model was assembled locally in Pune, Maharashtra. While the price has gone up, the engine displacement has gone down as the new GLC 43 Coupe now packs a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.

It also features a 9-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel steering for better agility and handling. Needless to say, the GLC 43 AMG also packs a lot of AMG specific details like sports seats, aggressive bumpers, quad sport exhaust, AMG steering and alloy wheel designs.

Alongside the launch of the GLC 43 AMG Coupe and CLE Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz India has also confirmed the launch of its flagship electric model in India.
