Five Things to Know About the New 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupé

Introduced earlier this month, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupé is the latest luxury coupe from Mercedes-Benz. This new model, set to join the Mercedes-Benz lineup in early 2024, is a harmonious blend of innovations from both the C-Class and E-Class series and represents the birth of a new lineup of models under the CLE Series. A unique fusion of dynamic design elements and high-end comfort features, the CLE Coupe is poised to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. Here are the top five things to know about this latest generation of premium coupes from Mercedes-Benz. 

1. A Head-Turning Design

The 2024 CLE Coupe boasts a stunning exterior that beautifully captures Mercedes-Benz's design philosophy of Sensual Purity. Sporting a lengthy wheelbase, an elongated rear overhang, and pronounced shoulders, the CLE Coupe presents an athletic and elegant silhouette. The vehicle's front features a low-slung hood, distinctive flat LED headlights, and a three-dimensional radiator grille, while the rear exhibits two-part LED taillights and power domes on the long hood, alluding to the potent engines beneath.

2. Spacious and Class-Leading Dimensions

Exceeding its counterparts in the midsize segment, the new CLE Coupe, at 4,850mm in length, 1,860mm in width, and 1,428mm in height, is the largest two-door model. The coupe offers 25mm more wheelbase compared to its predecessor, and more spaciousness than the C-Class Coupe. The increased dimensions particularly benefit rear passengers, offering ample headroom, shoulder and elbow room, and knee space. Moreover, the trunk now provides an additional 60 liters of space, easily accommodating three golf bags.

3. Luxurious and Technologically Advanced Interior

Step inside the CLE Coupe, and you'll be greeted by a modern cockpit featuring a 12.3-inch fully digital driver display and an 11.9-inch central display in a user-friendly portrait format. The cabin features an upgraded 64-color ambient lighting system that stretches from the center console to beneath the outer air vents. The front seats, exclusively designed for the CLE Coupe, along with an optional Burmester® 3D surround sound system with Dolby Atmos®, offer a truly immersive in-car experience.

4. Pioneering Features

The CLE Coupe introduces an elegant touch to the Mercedes-Benz range, with the Nappa leather loop that unlocks the front seats — a first for the brand. The model also borrows numerous digital innovations from the E-Class, including the latest generation of the advanced MBUX infotainment system, further reinforcing its standing as the most intelligent coupe from Mercedes-Benz. This new infotainment system provides exceptional capability and connectivity thanks to artificial intelligence that can adapt to the preferences of the user. New third-party apps ensure the highest ownership experience for CLE owners while the advanced “Hey Mercedes” voice command capability enable users to interact fluidly with the various features of their new CLE Coupe.

5. Powerful and Efficient Powertrain

Canadian customers can anticipate mild hybrid engines with an integrated starter generator and a 48-volt electrical system for the CLE Coupe. Exclusively equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder powertrain, the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC offers a harmonious balance between power and efficiency. Delivering an impressive 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, this new powertrain features the second-generation Mercedes-Benz Integraged Starter Generator and 48-volt electric architecture. Delivering up to 23 extra horsepower and 148 extra pound-feet of torque, the new ISG system improves performance while maximizing efficiency. 

In conclusion, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe represents the latest evolution of Mercedes-Benz's pursuit of blending sportiness with elegance.
