The model
Read full Mercedes CLE reviewThe Mercedes CLE is a compelling choice as a comfortable, long-distance cruiser offered with a wide range of engines. The 300 is the one to go for, while the 300e plug-in hybrid is a unique coupe company car option if you don’t need outright practicality. The AMG CLE 53 offers great performance and usability but costs more than a similarly fast BMW M440i.
The trim
See full equipmentEntry-level AMG Line trim includes 18in alloy wheels, keyless entry and go, ambient lighting, leather upholstery, wood trim and plenty more. Note that, despite its name, it's not available with the most powerful model, the AMG 53.
The engine
See full engine specsThis is a plug-in hybrid version of the CLE, combining a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and a 25.4kWh battery. A combined output of 308bhp is available provided you have enough charge in the battery, which is good for a 0-62mph time of 6.3 seconds.
