However, details such as a steeper A-pillar, shorter front overhang and slightly longer rear overhang, and larger wheel arches give the two-door hardtop a more distinctive look. At the same time, it is in touch with the modernity of the design language currently cultivated by Mercedes-Benz.
The new CLE Coupe models will be offered with a variety of engines, ranging from four- to six-cylinder units from the current modular Mercedes-Benz FAME engine family. Engine power ranges from 150 kW (204 hp) in the CLE 200 and CLE 200 4MATIC models, to 280 kW (381 hp) in the most powerful model CLE 450 4MATIC.

The front seats are very different, however, with a design exclusive to the CLE, with two headrest-level speakers as part of the standard Burmester premium audio system.
