In actual fact, the CLE 300’s $57,650 base falls properly between the $51,550 of the 2023 C300 4Matic Coupe and the $73,400 of the 2023 E450 4Matic Coupe. (Each 2023 coupes have been supplied with out 4Matic all-wheel drive, however because the CLE will get 4Matic commonplace, we’re referencing these costs for the older vehicles.)

Stepping as much as the Pinnacle trim provides an upgraded infotainment system, augmented-reality navigation, surround-view cameras, a head-up show, “digital” headlights, and safety system that may take footage with the automotive’s on-board cameras. The CLE 300 will get a 2.0-liter mild-hybrid turbo four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, whereas the 450 will get a 3.0-liter straight-six with 375 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque.
Measurement sensible, the brand new CLE is about the identical because the outdated E-Class Coupe, and thus bigger than the C-Class coupe, however the inside is lifted out of the brand new C-Class sedan. The CLE is not pillarless, as was the E-Class coupe, so it loses some fashion factors there.
