DESIGN
In a sense, the tradition of open-air motoring in a Mercedes-Benz started with the very first automobile. And with every generation, it grew more elegant, more exuberant, and more exquisite. Every day can be a grand opening.
Romance for the digital age
The spacious, stylish CLE Cabriolet offers generous room for four with a distinct driver focus. Its digital cockpit pairs a reconfigurable 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a subtly angled, tilt-adjustable 11.9-inch multimedia touchscreen.
Tailored to suit any season
The triple-layer "acoustic" fabric soft top is offered in three rich colors. It lowers in under 20 seconds via one button to reveal the richly appointed cabin. Natural-grain woods and modern metals complement a spectrum of upholsteries.
Comfort in every climate
Power front seats feature heating and AIRSCARF®, innovated by Mercedes-Benz to let you keep the top down longer. Options include ventilation and massage, as well as the enhanced air quality of ENERGIZING AIR CONTROL.
Ambience in new dimensions
A network of LEDs can outline the flowing cabin in any of 64 colors you can personalize. Available active features can offer helpful alerts. As you enter the CLE, a field of animated stars can welcome you to the experience.
Enlightenment before your eyes
LED headlamps feature automatic highbeams and distinctive Daytime Running Lamps. Available DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps can help guide you by projecting alert icons on the pavement.
Inspiration for second glances
CLE wheels range from a standard 18-inch design up to 20 inches in a variety of colors and designs. AMG® wheels, 19s or 20s, complement the sporty AMG Line styling. Disclaimer[5]
INNOVATION
Artificial intelligence and genuine ingenuity unite in technologies that can anticipate your desires, adapt to your ways, and even advance over time.
Digitally enhanced
The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) features an even more intuitive digital voice assistant. Standard MB Navigation can be enhanced to overlay turn instructions on live video of turns. A color Head-Up Display is also available. Disclaimer[6] Disclaimer[7]
Audibly augmented
Speakers integrated into the front seats help make the Burmester® 3D Surround Sound more immersive, especially while driving top-down. Sound Personalization lets you create and store your own listening preferences. Disclaimer[8]
Endlessly entertaining
A variety of third-party apps offer digital features to enjoy as you drive, and even games to play while you're parked. MBUX can also bring you new apps and features with over-the-air updates. Disclaimer[9] Disclaimer[10]
Redefining routine
Your CLE can use your fingerprint to activate your personal profile. It can also automate some of your routines, linking settings and situations or locations using customizable templates, such as heating the seats anytime it gets chilly.
Untethered connections
Phone charging, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto are all wireless, so you can stay connected yet unplugged. Disclaimer[11] Disclaimer[12]
Visionary vigilance
Standard and available driver assists keep their virtual eyes on the world around you. Standard Blind Spot Assist can also warn passengers if it's unsafe to exit. Advanced options can bring driving ease to traffic jams and lane changes. Disclaimer[13] Disclaimer[14]
PERFORMANCE
There's something electric in the air when you drive a CLE. Quite literally, thanks to turbo and electric boosts. Standard all-wheel drive is more evidence that the cabriolets are designed to be enjoyed year-round.
Refreshing and resounding
Turbocharging inspires both the 255-hp inline-4 CLE 300 and 375-hp inline-6 CLE 450. In addition, their 48-volt mild hybrid systems can add a burst of power gas-free, along with exceptionally smooth ECO-Start/Stop engagement.
Surefooted and quick-witted
Standard 4MATIC® all-wheel drive can continuously send the engine's torque to the wheels that can best turn it into traction. Lightweight and nimble, it can add to you confidence on wet roads and to your exuberance in dry corners. Disclaimer[15]
Eager and easygoing
With an electronic column selector, shift paddles on the steering wheel, and three overdrive ratios, the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission offers brisk acceleration on demand, breezy efficiency when cruising.
Flexible and fun
DYNAMIC SELECT lets you retune 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 an Individual program you can customize.
