DESIGN
The Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe slices through the wind, and the clutter of today's automotive landscape. From its shark-nose grille to its sculpted tail, its muscular physique conceals a spacious cabin and sporting soul.
Enveloping luxury, expansive space
A long wheelbase extends welcoming room for four in the CLE. Dual digital displays are also generously sized, with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 11.9-inch multimedia touchscreen, gently canted toward the driver.
Enduring craftsmanship, expressive style
Upholstery is finely tailored and hand-fitted to the four individually supportive seats. The flowing dash, doors and console can be accented in open-pore woods, modern metals, or a mix of both.
Energizing comfort, extensive attention
The heated power front seats can be further enriched with ventilation and massage features. Available Energizing Air Control can enhance the standard air filtration to help remove even finer particles, down to 2.5 microns
Enchanting ambience, exclusive elegance
A network of LEDs can highlight the sculptural cabin in any of 64 colours you can select, pair and even sequence. Even your approach and departure can add touches of magic, like Three-Pointed Stars projected on the pavement.
Enlightening vision, explicative guidance
LED headlamps feature automatic highbeams and distinctive Daytime Running Lamps. Optional DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps feature 84 individual LEDs per module. Disclaimer[1]
Encompassing views, expansive skies
The standard Panoramic sunroof can bring sunshine and starlight into the great indoors. A large, power-operated panel can tilt up or slide open for a breeze, while a power mesh screen can deliver shade on demand.
Enthralling poise
CLE wheel options range in style, colour and size from standard 18s up to 20 inches. AMG wheels, naturally, pair with the sporty AMG Line styling. Disclaimer[2]
INNOVATION
From technology that listens, learns and responds to ways to make rear-seat entry more graceful, every detail of the CLE is thoughtful and well thought-out.
Personable
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) features an even more intelligent, intuitive digital voice assistant. MB Navigation is standard, while a colour Head-Up Display is also available. Disclaimer[3] Disclaimer[4] Disclaimer[5]
Personalized
Dual speakers built into each front seat help make the available Burmester® 3D Surround Sound more immersive and personal. Sound Personalization lets you create and store your own listening preferences. Disclaimer[6]
Personal
Your CLE can use your fingerprint to activate your personal profile. It can also automate some of your routines, like heating the seats when it's cold out, using customizable templates. In the future, AI will help learn and set up new routines.
Interpersonal
Phone charging, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto are all wireless and all standard, so you can stay connected yet unplugged. Disclaimer[7] Disclaimer[8]
Extraperceptual
Standard and available driver assists keep their virtual eyes on the world around you. Standard Exit Warning Assist can also alert passengers before exiting. And advanced options can smooth your moves, from traffic jams to lane changes. Disclaimer[9]
PERFORMANCE
The CLE is a performance bonus you can drive. Smooth inline engines get turbo and electric boosts. Power is sent to all four tires, all year round. And you can fine-tune it sharper or silkier at a button's touch.
Unmild hybrids
Turbo plus technology equals torque in the 255-hp inline-4 CLE 300 and 375-hp inline-6 CLE 450. Their 48-volt mild hybrid systems can add a burst of power gas-free, and make the ECO-Start/Stop benefits even smoother.
Unrationed ratios
With an electronic column selector and shift paddles on the steering wheel, the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed transmission eases both automatic and manual shifting. Three overdrive ratios help make cruising quieter and more efficient.
Unseasonably reasonable
Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive can continuously adapt to precisely meter the engine's torque to the wheels that can use it best. Lightweight and nimble, it can heighten your confidence on wet roads and your joy in dry corners. Disclaimer[10]
Universally versatile
DYNAMIC SELECT lets you dial in the CLE's character with the tap of a console button. Selectable drive modes can vary the shifting, throttle, steering and more. Modes include ECO, Sport, and make-your-own-mode Individual.
