Size and design
The Mercedes CLE is 4.85 metres long, 1 cm longer than the E-Class Coupe and 16 cm longer than the C-Class. The large dimensions are well concealed by a sleek and balanced line. The long front bonnet and set-back cabin keep the proportions true to current models, but with a dynamic touch. The front end is aggressive, with new elongated headlights and a wide trapezoidal grille that conveys a sense of sportiness.

Interior and technology
The cabin of the new Mercedes CLE is similar to that of the C-Class, with a dashboard dominated by an 11.9-inch display that appears to rest on the console. The MBUX multimedia system also offers TikTok integration and the Zoom meeting app. The 12.3-inch digital dashboard is identical to that of the other models in the C-Class family, with modern graphics and customisable configuration. The rear seats are comfortable and can include additional speakers with the optional Burmester hi-fi.
