The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet brings the pleasure of a convertible to a luxury two-door with room for four. Its appeal is as much about the everyday drive as the weekend escape: a thoughtfully appointed cabin, connected technology, and a choice of distinctly different powertrains. For drivers in D'Iberville, MS, that means a Mercedes-Benz CLE Convertible can be tailored around relaxed cruising, a more energetic commute, or an AMG®-focused driving experience.
The Cabriolet is the open-top member of the CLE family. Rather than a fixed coupe roof, it uses a power convertible top, giving the car two different ways to enjoy the road. Mercedes-Benz of South Mississippi can help you explore which model and configuration best suit your driving style.
The lineup offers three clear directions without making luxury an afterthought:
The CLE Cabriolet seats four, with front bucket seats and a two-place rear seat. Front legroom measures 42.1 inches, while the rear offers 34.2 inches. That layout puts the driver and front passenger at the center of the experience while preserving the flexibility to bring additional passengers along.
Comfort features help you tailor the cabin to your preferred driving position and temperature:
Cabin materials also help distinguish the models. The CLE 300 and CLE 450 feature MB-Tex seat trim, while the AMG® CLE 53 uses MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery with red stitching. The CLE 450 adds a sport steering wheel in Nappa leather, and the AMG® model takes that sporting theme further with an AMG® Performance steering wheel. These details give shoppers a meaningful choice between a more understated interior and a more overtly performance-inspired setting.
The CLE Cabriolet offers 9.6 cubic feet of trunk capacity for luggage and everyday essentials. Check the fit of your usual bags with the top raised and lowered, as usable luggage space varies with the roof position.
Additional storage features include:
The CLE Cabriolet's two-door proportions give it an unmistakably personal character. A lined power convertible top incorporates a glass rear window, while LED lighting, power-folding heated mirrors, and rain-sensing wipers bring useful functionality to the design. The result is a convertible that offers more than a roof-down silhouette.
Wheel equipment gives each model its own visual emphasis:
The CLE 300 and CLE 450 measure 191 inches long and 73.3 inches wide without mirrors. The AMG® CLE 53 retains that length but measures 74.2 inches wide without mirrors, giving the performance model a broader footprint. Consider the selected model's dimensions when planning garage space or comparing parking fit.
AIRCAP® wind management is part of the CLE Cabriolet's open-air equipment. Its automatic wind blocker helps manage airflow when the roof is lowered, making the convertible experience about enjoying the surroundings rather than simply removing the roof. Conditions still influence how a roof-down drive feels, so trying the car with the top in both positions is worthwhile.
Powertrain choice is one of the most important differences among the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet models. Each combines a turbocharged gasoline engine with hybrid assistance, but the engine output and chassis approach change substantially as you move through the lineup.
Choose the engine that matches your performance priorities:
The mild-hybrid design should not be confused with a plug-in vehicle. It supports the gasoline powertrain rather than providing a plug-in charging routine or an advertised electric-only driving range.
The CLE 300 and CLE 450 pair their engines with a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, steering-wheel shift paddles, and DYNAMIC SELECT. Both use full-time 4MATIC® all-wheel drive®. The AMG® CLE 53 combines AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ all-wheel drive® with an AMG® SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission and AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT.
Those choices let you select a different performance character without giving up an automatic transmission or 4MATIC® all-wheel drive®. Traction still depends on tires, road conditions, and attentive driving; 4MATIC® all-wheel drive® is not a substitute for adjusting your speed to the conditions.
The CLE 300 uses a comfort-oriented suspension, making it the natural starting point if your priority is relaxed daily travel. The CLE 450 moves to a sport-tuned suspension, pairing its additional engine output with a more sporting chassis setup. The AMG® CLE 53 adds a sport-tuned adaptive suspension with selectable ride control, allowing more adjustment of the suspension's response.
For a shopper, this is a reason to look beyond horsepower alone. Your preferred balance of ride comfort and sporting response matters just as much as the engine badge.
An 11.9-inch center touchscreen anchors the CLE Cabriolet's digital cabin, bringing key controls into a prominent display. Burmester® surround sound adds an audio-focused dimension to the experience, whether your drive calls for a quiet playlist or a more involved soundtrack. The cockpit complements the car's luxury character with technology you can use on an ordinary trip, not just admire while parked.
Connectivity and convenience features include:
Smartphone functions require compatible devices. Connected features may require activation, a data plan, or a subscription; confirm the requirements and equipment on the vehicle you select.
The CLE Cabriolet combines occupant-restraint equipment with systems that support driver awareness. Front, side, and knee airbags are included in its restraint equipment, and the convertible top assembly incorporates automatic rollover protection. Electronic stability control and traction control provide additional support when maintaining vehicle control.
Notable equipment to review on your selected vehicle includes:
Confirm the exact standard, optional, and package-dependent equipment on the vehicle you are considering. These systems operate within limitations and do not replace attentive driving, checking your surroundings, or maintaining control of the vehicle.
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet combines open-air freedom, sophisticated comfort, and engaging performance in a luxury convertible designed to make every drive memorable. Whether you're cruising along the Mississippi Gulf Coast or enjoying an evening drive, the CLE Cabriolet delivers an experience that feels just as rewarding as the destination.
