2021 AMG CLS 53 Exterior

Perhaps one of the main reasons to choose the CLS 53 over the E 53 is because the former looks so good. It's got a long, wide, and low stance. The lines are clean, devoid of unnecessary details, and elements like the wraparound LED headlights, a twin power-dome hood, and rounded quad-exit exhaust outlets are the very definition of subtle aggression. This is further emphasized by the subtleness of the AMG twin-blade grille instead of the modern Panamericana version. There are 19-inch AMG twin five-spoke alloy wheels and a power tilt/sliding sunroof is fitted as standard. Larger 20-inch wheels, a carbon fiber package, or a package that blacks out much of the exterior can all be optioned. If all four-door coupes looked as good as this, we have no issue with the body style sticking around for a long time to come.

Exterior Colors

Mojave Silver and Cirrus Silver are two new metallics that have been added to the palette this year, each with a cost of $720. The other metallics sharing the same price are Obsidian Black, Graphite Grey, Lunar Blue, and Selenite Grey, making for a notably monochromatic color scheme. However, if you're willing to shell out $1,080, you can have the more vibrant designo Cardinal Red metallic. Designo Diamond White metallic costs $1,515 and designo Selenite Grey Magno in a matte finish is $3,950. The only two colors that are included by default are Black and Polar White. A range of 'designo manufaktur' paints will each cost a steep $4,900, but they add even more drama to the car's appearance - some of these more exotic colors include Arabian Grey, Deep Green, Midnight Blue, and Cashmere White Magno. If you want to stand out from other Mercedes CLS 53 four-door coupes on the road, we'd recommend going for the sinister Selenite Grey Magno with its matte finish.
