By Arjun Ramanarayanan, IndiCar · Published 13 October 2026 · Comparisons

The Mercedes-AMG CLE costs Rs 1,63,73,754 on-road in Mumbai. The cheapest S-Class, the S 350d, is Rs 2,18,16,914, a gap of Rs 54,43,160.

The Mercedes-AMG CLE is the cheaper car by a wide margin in Mumbai. Its single priced variant, the AMG CLE 53 4M+ COUPE Petrol Automatic, is Rs 1,63,73,754 on-road. The cheapest S-Class, the S 350d Diesel Automatic, is Rs 2,18,16,914 on-road, which is Rs 54,43,160 more. At the top of each range the gap is Rs 1,12,02,400, still in the CLE's favour.

These are IndiCar's own price list for Mumbai, for individual registration, dated 15 September 2026 for both cars.

The headline numbers side by side

Both cars are automatic only, so the choice is not about gearbox. It is about how much of the S-Class range you want to pay for and which fuel you want.

Where the on-road price comes from

Here is the itemised breakup for the cheapest variant of each car, Mumbai, individual registration.

RTO registration and road tax is the largest add-on in both cases: Rs 27,19,950 on the CLE and Rs 27,69,000 on the S 350d. Insurance is the other line that differs by more than the tax does in proportion: Rs 2,70,454 against Rs 4,02,464. TCS and FASTag follow the ex-showroom price and the flat tag cost respectively.

The Mercedes-AMG CLE: one variant, one decision

The CLE has a single priced variant in Mumbai: the AMG CLE 53 4M+ COUPE Petrol Automatic at Rs 1,63,73,754. There is no variant ladder to climb, so the only question is whether the car suits you. It is petrol and automatic, and that is the whole configuration. If you want diesel or a hybrid, the CLE does not offer it in our price list.

The S-Class range, step by step

The S-Class has four priced variant combinations across three fuels:

• S 350d Diesel Automatic: Rs 2,18,16,914 on-road. The entry point and the only diesel.
• S 450 4MATIC Petrol Automatic: Rs 2,27,51,905 on-road. The cheapest petrol and the middle of the range.
• S450e Hybrid Automatic: Rs 2,57,25,754 on-road. The cheapest hybrid.
• S450e MANUFAKTUR Edition AMG Line Hybrid Automatic: Rs 2,75,76,154 on-road. The top of the range.

The step from diesel to petrol is the smallest, at Rs 2,27,51,905 against Rs 2,18,16,914. The larger jumps come when you move to the hybrid and then to the MANUFAKTUR Edition AMG Line version. This article does not cover running costs for any of these fuels, so the on-road prices alone do not tell you which is cheapest to own.

What the entry S-Class includes

The one feature detail we have for the S-Class is on its cheapest variant. It comes with natural voice control (LINGUATRONIC, "Hey Mercedes") and the Navigation Connectivity package, which is a standard-fit LTE communication module with hard-disc navigation. We do not have feature details for the higher S-Class variants or for the CLE here, so do not assume what is added at each step.

Who each car suits

The CLE suits you if you want a petrol automatic and the lowest entry price of the two. At Rs 1,63,73,754 it undercuts even the cheapest S-Class by Rs 54,43,160, and there is only one version to consider.

The S-Class suits you if you want a choice of fuel. It is the only one of the two with diesel or hybrid options, and it spans Rs 2,18,16,914 to Rs 2,75,76,154. If you want the S-Class, the S 350d is the cheapest way in, and the S 450 4MATIC petrol is only a step above it. Our view: on price alone the CLE is the clear value of the two, but price is all these facts compare, so weigh it against how you will use the car and what it costs to run.
