A new Mercedes CLE coupé and convertible pair are due in 2023, and we've been given an exclusive first ride - here's everything we found out
The third-generation MBUX operating system for the portrait-style infotainment display receives similar updates and menus to those brought to the new E-class saloon. Mercedes-Benz will also offer the new CLE with Level 2 automated driving assistant system technology that allows the driver to go hands-off for up to 30sec under European driving laws. Among the options are a head-up display unit and a panoramic glass roof.
As in the existing C- and E-class line-ups, all engines are mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox as standard. Overall, there are four driving modes: Eco, Comfort, Sport and Individual. The CLE is underpinned by a coil-sprung suspension and will offer the choice of both passive and active damping properties across three systems: standard, Sport and Avantgarde.
An initial ride in a low mileage validation prototype on ultra smooth surfaced roads around Mercedes-Benz's factory in Sindelfingen, Germany, reveals the new two-door does not stray too far from the two models it succeeds in overall on-road character. A synthetic sound generator provides added aural intent when the driver dials up the Sport mode, though it can be turned off to retain the overall feeling of refinement without losing the sporting edge.
