2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE pricing and features

It is available in two variants – the rear-drive CLE 200 and all-wheel-drive CLE 300 4MATIC – powered by turbocharged mild-hybrid four-cylinder engines identical to the heavily related C-Class sedan.

A “second-generation” integrated starter generator (ISG) provides a boost at lower engine speeds, and a 48-volt electrical system is utilised to support functions such as coasting, boost or recuperation, reducing fuel consumption.

Both CLE models feature a nine-speed automatic transmission adapted for use with the ISG. The electric motor, the power electronics and the transmission cooler are moved into or onto the transmission, offering advantages in installation space and weight.

Features common to both the CLE 200 and CLE 300 include:

The CLE's springs are stiffer and damping firmer than those sedans for reduced body roll, while «sports direct steering” is claimed to provide more direct handling and agility and amplitude-selective damping aims to maintain a balance between control and passenger comfort.

The Mercedes-Benz CLE 200 Coupe is priced from $103,900 before on-road costs while the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC Coupe is priced from $124,900 before on-road costs.
