What it is

This 2027 Mercedes-Benz AMG CLE53 4matic Plus is a convertible in the CLE-Class family. EPA classifies it as a subcompact car.

It uses all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo-supercharged engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain is listed as a hybrid, and gasoline is the fuel.

The numbers

The figure to watch is 22 MPG combined. That combines the car's 19 MPG city rating with its 26 MPG highway rating.

Your result will depend on how much of your driving is in town versus on open roads. The convertible's EPA tailpipe CO2 figure is 408 grams per mile.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates annual gasoline cost at $3,750. That figure gives a yearly fuel budget for comparing this car with other vehicles.

The 19 MPG city rating means more fuel use in stop-and-go driving than the 26 MPG highway rating.

How it compares

Use the 22 MPG combined figure when comparing this CLE53 with other Mercedes-Benz cars. Its 19 city and 26 highway ratings show how the mix changes with your route.

Who it suits

This car suits a driver who wants a convertible body, all-wheel drive, and a six-cylinder hybrid gasoline powertrain in a subcompact car.

It makes more sense for mixed or highway driving if the 26 MPG highway figure fits your routine.

Trade-offs

The 22 MPG combined rating comes with a 19 MPG city figure, so frequent urban trips can use more fuel than highway travel.

You get all-wheel drive and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, but the EPA annual fuel cost is $3,750 and tailpipe CO2 is 408 grams per mile.

Verdict

Choose this CLE53 if an all-wheel-drive convertible matters more to you than minimizing gasoline use. Its 22 MPG combined rating sets a clear running-cost expectation, while the 19 city and 26 highway figures help match it to your routes. The hybrid designation does not change the fact that gasoline is the listed fuel. Check your typical city-to-highway split before deciding whether the yearly fuel budget fits.
