The overview
The CLE is Mercedes' latest two-door coupe and convertible model. It consolidates the previous generation C-Class coupe and E-Class coupe. It shares the same polished powertrain and athletic chassis of the current C-Class. The punchy, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic deliver plenty of power. This powertrain also gets a 48-volt mild-hybrid setup for a smoother stop/start and unobtrusive AC operation. The CLE will likely inherit the C-Class' sporty handling and steady and composed ride. It is offered with an optional AMG sport suspension, which will make the ride stiffer. The front seats are supportive, and cabin fit and finish is impressive. Capacitive-touch controls add further frustrations to the infotainment system. AEB with pedestrian detection, AEB highway, BSW, and RCTW are standard.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
