Who It's For and How It Compares to the Prior Year
The 2027 CLE Coupe is built for buyers who want a two-door grand touring coupe with everyday usability. The standard mild hybrid system on all models supports low-end torque delivery without requiring plug-in infrastructure. The 4MATIC® drivetrain is standard on the CLE 300 4MATIC® Coupe and CLE 450 4MATIC® Coupe, which simplifies the decision for buyers in climates where all-weather traction matters.
Buyers moving up from a prior CLE Coupe gain the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe as a new option, an upgraded standard MBUX experience with the fingerprint scanner and MBUX Routines built in, and Burmester® 3D Surround Sound confirmed as standard equipment across all models.
The CLE 300 4MATIC® Coupe suits buyers who prioritize refinement and a lower curb weight over maximum performance. The CLE 450 4MATIC® Coupe hits the same 4.2-second 0-60 time as the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe, though it lacks the AMG-specific chassis tuning, active rear-axle steering, and AMG DYNAMICS software. The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe delivers the most complete performance package in the lineup with track-capable electronics and optional RACE and Drift modes.
Feature availability, package content, Digital Extras, warranty coverage, fuel economy, performance figures, equipment, software update availability, driver assistance systems, and exterior color availability may vary by model, production timing, driving conditions, and vehicle-specific configuration. Confirm all specifications and coverage terms on the specific vehicle before purchase or lease.
