Mercedes-Benz rationalized its coupe lineup, combining the C- and E-Class coupes into one, new mannequin, the CLE. On Tuesday, Mercedes confirmed pricing of the brand new coupe, and no shock, it is proper between its previous predecessors.
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 had been provided with out 4Matic all-wheel drive, however because the CLE will get 4Matic customary, we’re referencing these costs for the older automobiles.) Here is a breakdown of pricing by mannequin and trim degree:
| Mannequin | Price (Together with $1,150 Vacation spot Price) |
| CLE 300 4Matic | $57,650 |
| CLE 300 4Matic Pinnacle | $60,250 |
| CLE 450 4Matic | $66,800 |
| CLE 450 4Matic Pinnacle | $69,350 |
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.
Dimension clever, the brand new CLE is about the identical because the previous 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.
