The model
Read full Mercedes CLE reviewThe Mercedes CLE Coupé might not stand out as exceptional value, it's a compelling choice as a comfortable, long-distance cruiser with a touch more practicality than its closest rivals. The 300e plug-in hybrid also offers a unique coupe company car option if you don’t need outright practicality. Meanwhile, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 performance version offers a great balance of performance and everyday usability, but is a costly alternative to a similarly quick BMW M440i.
The trim

The engine
