It’s the most intelligent Mercedes-Benz coupe ever.
Harnessing technical innovations from both the E-Class and the C-Class, the CLE marks a new era for the two-door coupe.
It dazzles at first sight.
Experience luxury driving live never before with the new Mercedes-Benz CLE coupe, availalbe at Mercedes-Benz of Monterey. With elegant lines, fluid design and long wheelbase, the CLE is unmistakably a luxury coupe. And yet its rakish angles and athletic stance convey plenty of edge. It’s the latest milestone in a long Mercedes-Benz tradition: merging the finest in comfort and innovation with the purest in driving excitement.
The CLE’s striking, fluid design houses a space of remarkably generous dimensions, materials and accessories. Two free-standing digital displays put maximum focus on the driver, and can be personalized with three different styles. Ambient lighting in 64 colors comes standard, as does a multi-function sports steering wheel. The new front seats with integrated headrests were designed exclusively for the CLE. At the level of the headrests, two speakers help deliver the power, subtlety and clarity of the Burmester® 3D surround-sound system Disclaimer[3] with Dolby Atmos®,Disclaimer[4]. They’re just part of an intricate, 17-speaker array that, especially when paired with Apple Music’s Spatial Audio, turn the CLE’s cabin into a private studio.
The latest generation of Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) and a new electronic architecture make the CLE the most intelligent coupe Mercedes-Benz has ever produced — and the most personal. The “Hey Mercedes” voice assistant allows you to interact with the CLE using ordinary, conversational language. Using data from the Mercedes me owner app, the coupe now recognizes individual profiles and adjusts lighting, climate and entertainment preferences accordingly.
But intelligence isn't limited to technology; it extends to the CLE's power and performance on the road. An integrated starter-generator seamlessly transitions between coasting and power modes, while advancements in transmission design maximize efficiency. Whether powered by a four- or six-cylinder engine, the CLE Coupe delivers a dreamy driving experience unmatched in Carmel by the Sea, Salinas, Seaside, Marina, Big Sur, Moss Landing, and Prunedale.

5 Power output is a preliminary estimate. See your dealer.
6 System cannot overcome the laws of physics, nor is it a substitute for being attentive to driving, traffic and conditions. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
7 Some systems are optional. Even the most advanced safety systems may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for system alerts before braking or taking evasive action, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance. See Operator's Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
8 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
9 Active Brake Assist may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It may not react to some stationary or suddenly moving objects, pedestrians or animals, or in certain situations where objects cannot be clearly identified. It cannot recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles and pedestrians ahead. It is the driver's responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system's alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See Operator's Manual for system operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
10 Rearview camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on the camera.
