The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe offers a distinctly personal take on the luxury-car experience. Its fixed-roof, two-door design favors expressive styling, while its cabin and trunk make room for more than a solo drive. This is the Mercedes-Benz alternative for shoppers who want the presence of a coupe without giving up the comfort and convenience that matter Monday through Friday.
The lineup offers three directions, from a comfort-oriented daily driver to a more focused AMG® performance model. At Mercedes-Benz of South Mississippi in D'Iberville, MS, your choice starts with how you want the car to fit your life, and how much you value driving engagement.
Each model gives the CLE Coupe a different emphasis:
The CLE Coupe seats four, with a cabin that puts front-seat comfort at the center of the experience. Front legroom measures 42.1 inches, while the rear seats offer 34.2 inches. Those rear positions provide flexibility for occasional passengers, though shoppers who regularly carry adults should check access and seating fit in person.
The Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe features a blend of tailored upholstery, adjustable seating, and practical cabin conveniences. The emphasis is on making the space feel like yours, whether you are settling in for a commute or sharing the drive with a passenger.
Comfort equipment across the lineup includes:
The CLE 300 and CLE 450 feature MB-Tex upholstery. Their steering wheels provide a point of distinction: the CLE 300 has a leather-wrapped wheel, while the CLE 450 uses a sport Nappa leather steering wheel. The AMG® CLE 53 adds MB-Tex and microfiber upholstery with red stitching, along with an AMG® Performance Nappa leather steering wheel. These details give the AMG® cabin a more overtly sporting identity without changing its four-seat layout.
The CLE 300 and CLE 450 offer 11.2 cubic feet of trunk space; the AMG® CLE 53 has 9.8 cubic feet. Plan luggage around the model you choose rather than assuming every CLE has the same cargo capacity. For smaller items and longer loads, useful storage features include:
The CLE Coupe's low roofline and two-door proportions are the starting point, not the whole story. A power sliding-and-tilting Panorama glass roof brings daylight into the cabin while preserving the fixed-roof coupe format. LED headlamps, a rear lip spoiler, and power-folding heated mirrors combine visual detail with everyday function.
The CLE 300 and CLE 450 measure 191 inches long and 73.3 inches wide without mirrors. The AMG® CLE 53 is also 191 inches long, but its 76.2-inch body width gives it a broader stance. That difference matters when comparing garage space and the visual character of the three models.
Wheel equipment helps distinguish the models at a glance:
The CLE 450 pairs wider rear tires with its wheel package, while the CLE 300 uses the same tire size front and rear. The AMG® model takes the staggered configuration further, complementing its wider body.
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe performance lineup offers three turbocharged gasoline engines with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance. The key decision is not simply how much power you want, but how closely you want the chassis and transmission to follow that performance emphasis. Mild-hybrid assistance supports the gasoline powertrain; these models are not plug-in hybrids.
Engine specifications differ clearly by model:
The move to either six-cylinder model brings substantially more output. The CLE 450 is the middle step for shoppers seeking more power within the regular CLE lineup, while the AMG® CLE 53 pairs its higher output with a more specialized mechanical package.
The CLE 300 and CLE 450 use a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, steering-wheel shift paddles, and DYNAMIC SELECT drive modes. Both include 4MATIC® all-wheel drive®. Their suspension tuning separates their priorities: the CLE 300 uses Comfort Ride suspension, while the CLE 450 has a sport-tuned suspension.
The AMG® CLE 53 uses an AMG® SPEEDSHIFT TCT nine-speed transmission and AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT. Its AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ all-wheel-drive® system, AMG® RIDE CONTROL suspension, and active rear-axle steering give shoppers an AMG®-specific approach to power delivery and chassis control. It is the choice to consider when the driving experience is a central reason for choosing the coupe, rather than an occasional bonus.
The third-generation Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system anchors the CLE 300 and CLE 450 cabins, with an 11.9-inch center touchscreen providing the main interface. The AMG® CLE 53 also features an 11.9-inch center display. The layout brings vehicle functions into a digital cockpit without making the coupe's appeal solely about screen size.
Notable technology features across the lineup include:
Smartphone compatibility and connected-service requirements can affect access to individual functions. Ask about the equipment and activation requirements for the specific vehicle you are considering.
The CLE Coupe combines electronic stability and traction control with front, side, curtain, and driver knee airbags. Its driver-assistance equipment adds support for highway travel, nearby traffic, and parking maneuvers, but it does not turn the car into an autonomous vehicle.
Safety and driver-assistance highlights include:
Driver-assistance systems have operating limits and do not replace attentive driving. The driver remains responsible for steering, braking, and monitoring traffic and surroundings. Review the owner's manual and confirm the equipment on your selected vehicle before relying on a particular function.
The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe combines striking design, refined comfort, and responsive performance to make every drive feel extraordinary. From its sophisticated interior to its athletic character, this luxury coupe offers an engaging driving experience whether you're commuting through D'Iberville or cruising along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
