2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE: Choose Coupe Elegance or Cabriolet Freedom
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE brings coupe elegance and cabriolet freedom together with the brand’s unmistakable craftsmanship. Blending long‑hood proportions with a tech‑forward cabin, it is designed for scenic Pacific Coast drives and daily commutes alike, delivering performance and polish worthy of the Mercedes-Benz brand. At Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles, we’re waiting to show you its best features.
Power and Performance
Choose from two refined powertrains. The Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC® pairs a 2.0‑liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine with mild‑hybrid assistance for 255 horsepower and 295 lb‑ft of torque, delivering a manufacturer‑stated 0–60 mile per hour time of 6.2 seconds. Step up to the Mercedes-Benz CLE 450 4MATIC® for a 3.0‑liter inline six-cylinder engine with an electric boost, making 375 horsepower and 369 lb‑ft of torque for a quoted 0–60 mile per hour time of 4.2 seconds. Both engines work through a smooth 9G‑TRONIC® automatic transmission and fully variable 4MATIC® all‑wheel drive for poised, confident acceleration.
Interior
Inside the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE, four passengers are greeted by sculpted front sport seats, finely tailored materials, and customizable 64‑color LED ambient lighting. The driver faces a digital instrument display and a central touchscreen running MBUX® with natural‑language “Hey Mercedes”™ voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, and available front‑seat ventilation and massage.
