The only Cabriolet in the #MercedesBenz line up - the CLE has a lot to live up to, as it has to succeed two big sellers in the C Class and E Class cabriolets! Much like the coupe version, the new #CLE Cabrio takes the best parts from the new C Class, with luxury and internal dimensions to match the old E Class. The idea is to give C Class customers more practicality, tech and luxury — while providing E Class drivers with the sportiness they’ve missed out on!

The best thing? Unlike the new C Class, the CLE benefits from a range topping 6 Cylinder engine with 381HP and some emotion, and a host of other diesel and petrol 4 pots — but no plug in hybrids. Rumour has it that the CLE 53 might wind up as a 6 Cyl for our AMG too, something I will show you in spy shot form as the CLE 63 in today’s video. :)

#Mercedes has done the idea of this “CLE” before, with the predecessor CLK car. To be fair, if you go far back enough, the W124 Cabrio pretty much also served as the only mid size cabriolet option. The CLK kind of fell on it’s face, not because the idea was bad, but because build quality was lacking and we didn’t have tech good enough to merge both sportiness and luxury without sacrificing one or the other.

The CLE makes no compromises. In terms of body, it is longer and wider than both C and E and as wide as the later. The Interior is totally C Class, but that’s because that is the sportier of the two, more driver focused with the centre screen pointing to the driver. The CLE Cabriolet benefits with more unique features like the front tilting screen as seen in the Mercedes AMG SL, unique rear bench ambient lighting much like Maybach cars, standard Air Scarf and Air Cap, and Napa leather areas standard. While your boot is smaller than the coupe, it’s as big as the outgoing E Cabrio - and comes standard with an electrically operated load area.
The roof is a multi later concept, with high sound deadening and thermal insulation — it can open in 20 seconds and up to speeds of 60kmh - more than the previous cars. Let’s check out the whole car in this first look today, and see what we make of it!
