The Mercedes CLE Cabriolet is a brilliant drop-top that’s refined and good to drive, plus its classy interior provides greater practicality than you get with a BMW 4 Series Convertible. True, you have to pay a little bit more for the CLE, but it makes up for it by being better equipped and holding its value well. The CLE 300 AMG Line Premium is our pick of the range.
The AMG 53 version's twin-turbo, 3.0-litre engine produces 443bhp and 443lb ft of torque, which is enough for 0-62mph in 4.4sec (or 4.2sec if you specify the AMG Dynamic Plus package, which includes launch control). More importantly, it sounds much sweeter than the CLE 450 and feels more muscular throughout its rev range.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
