Review of the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet combines open-air luxury, sophisticated styling, and engaging performance in a convertible designed to make every drive memorable. With its power-operated convertible roof, refined interior, and turbocharged engines with hybrid assistance, the CLE Cabriolet offers Metairie, LA, drivers an exciting alternative to the traditional luxury coupe. At Mercedes-Benz of New Orleans, shoppers can explore three distinct models, each offering a different balance of comfort, performance, and premium appointments.

The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet lineup includes:

  • CLE 300 4MATIC® Cabriolet
  • CLE 450 4MATIC® Cabriolet
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 Cabriolet

Choosing the right CLE Cabriolet starts with understanding your driving preferences and priorities. When buying a Mercedes-Benz, consider the differences in engine performance, standard and available features, interior amenities, and driving dynamics across the lineup. Comparing configurations, exploring financing options, and evaluating your current vehicle’s trade-in value can also help you make a more informed purchasing decision.

Visit Mercedes-Benz of New Orleans in Metairie, LA, to compare available CLE Cabriolet models, explore their features, and schedule a test drive to find the configuration that complements your lifestyle.

Interior: Comfort in the Details

The CLE Cabriolet’s cabin puts front-seat comfort at the center of the experience. Adjustable seating, tailored materials, and practical storage add substance beyond its visual appeal. The rear seat adds flexibility when an evening out becomes a shared occasion.

Interior Dimensions

Key cabin measurements include:

  • Seating capacity: Four occupants
  • Front/rear legroom: 42.1/34.2 inches
  • Front headroom: 40.2 inches in CLE 300 and CLE 450; 40.3 inches in AMG® CLE 53
  • Rear headroom: 36 inches
  • Listed trunk capacity: 9.6 cubic feet

The layout works well for trips centered on the driver and front passenger while retaining space for additional company. When planning a weekend away, check your luggage with the roof raised and lowered rather than assuming the listed trunk capacity applies in every roof position.

Interior Highlights

Comfort and cabin equipment include:

  • Heated, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with lumbar adjustment and cushion extension
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Power tilt-and-telescoping steering column
  • 60/40-split folding rear seatback
  • Covered console storage, door bins, and seatback pockets

These features let you settle into a preferred driving position and keep smaller essentials organized. Split-folding rear seatbacks add another loading option when passenger seats are not needed.

MB-Tex seat trim appears in the CLE 300 and CLE 450. The AMG® CLE 53 uses MB-Tex/microfiber upholstery with red stitching, paired with an AMG® Performance steering wheel in Nappa leather. The CLE 450 also brings a sport Nappa leather steering wheel, giving its cabin a more sporting touch without adopting the AMG® model’s full interior identity.

Exterior: Two-Door Style, Open-Sky Appeal

The CLE Cabriolet pairs a long, low profile with the flexibility of a convertible roof. Raised, the lined top defines the car’s silhouette; lowered, it changes the character of the entire cabin. Useful exterior equipment complements the styling rather than taking a back seat.

Exterior Dimensions

The models share their length and wheelbase, with differences in width and height:

  • Overall length: 191 inches
  • Wheelbase: 112.8 inches
  • Width without mirrors: 73.3 inches for CLE 300 and CLE 450; 74.2 inches for AMG® CLE 53
  • Overall height: 56.1 inches for CLE 300 and CLE 450; 56.5 inches for AMG® CLE 53

The AMG® model’s wider body is worth considering when comparing garage fit. Allow additional clearance for mirrors and the long doors of a two-door vehicle when evaluating your usual parking space.

Exterior Highlights

Notable exterior features include:

  • Lined power convertible top with a glass rear window
  • AIRCAP® automatic wind blocker
  • LED headlights and brake lights
  • Power-folding heated exterior mirrors
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers

Wind management helps make roof-down driving a considered part of the design, while folding mirrors and automatic wipers serve everyday convenience. For Metairie drivers, the attraction is being able to enjoy an open-air outing without making the car’s useful equipment an afterthought.

Standard wheels vary by model: the CLE 300 uses 18-inch black five-twin-spoke wheels; the CLE 450 has 19-inch AMG® multi-spoke wheels with black accents; and the AMG® CLE 53 has 19-inch AMG® multi-spoke wheels with black accents and wider front and rear wheel dimensions.

Performance: Choose Your Driving Character

The CLE Cabriolet offers three distinct powertrains, each pairing turbocharged gasoline power with electrified assistance. That shared foundation does not make their performance interchangeable. Engine output and chassis tuning give each model its own reason to consider it.

Engines and Powertrains

Engine specifications are separated by model:

  • CLE 300: 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system; 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque
  • CLE 450: 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system; 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque
  • AMG® CLE 53: AMG®-enhanced 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 with hybrid assistance and an electric auxiliary compressor; 443 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque

The CLE 300 is a starting point for drivers who prioritize open-air luxury and daily travel. The CLE 450 adds substantial output, while the AMG® CLE 53 makes performance a more prominent part of the convertible experience.

Transmission and Drivetrain

Drivetrain equipment includes:

  • CLE 300 and CLE 450: 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4MATIC® all-wheel drive
  • AMG® CLE 53: AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9G automatic transmission and 4MATIC®+ all-wheel drive
  • Driver controls: Steering-wheel shift paddles and DYNAMIC SELECT; AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT on AMG® CLE 53

Automatic operation supports ordinary commuting, while paddles and selectable modes give the driver more involvement when desired. 4MATIC® All-wheel drive® supports traction, but tires, road conditions, and appropriate driving speed remain essential.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

Suspension equipment further distinguishes the models:

  • CLE 300: Comfort Ride suspension
  • CLE 450: Sport-tuned suspension
  • AMG® CLE 53: Sport-tuned adaptive suspension with driver-selectable ride control

Compare those setups on the kinds of roads you use most. The model with more power is not automatically the one whose ride character you will prefer. Hybrid assistance and regenerative braking add an electrified element without changing the car’s gasoline-powered ownership routine.

Technology: A Connected Luxury Cockpit

The CLE Cabriolet brings its digital controls into a prominent center display, with navigation and smartphone integration serving familiar daily tasks. Its technology complements the cabin’s personal character, whether you are finding a destination or choosing music for a roof-down drive.

Displays and Infotainment

Cockpit technology includes:

  • 11.9-inch center touchscreen
  • MB Navigation
  • Turn-by-turn navigation directions
  • Driver information display and trip computer

The touchscreen gives navigation and media a central home, while vehicle information remains available to the driver. Take time to try the interface while parked so its layout feels familiar before a longer journey.

Connectivity and Convenience

Connected features include:

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay®
  • Wireless Android Auto™
  • Burmester® surround sound
  • Mobile hotspot capability
  • Smart-device remote engine start

Wireless integration helps bring familiar phone functions into the cabin without a cable-based connection. Premium audio adds another reason to enjoy the drive itself. Compatible devices are required, and connected services may involve activation, data plans, or subscriptions; confirm requirements for your selected vehicle.

Safety: Awareness Alongside the Experience

The CLE Cabriolet combines driver-awareness technology, parking support, and occupant-protection equipment. Assistance features are designed to support an attentive driver, not replace checking traffic, observing surroundings, or maintaining control.

Driver-Assistance Technology

Equipment to review includes:

  • Active Brake Assist with automatic emergency braking
  • Blind Spot Assist
  • Driver-monitoring alerts

These systems address different parts of driving awareness, including potential frontal hazards and vehicles outside the driver’s direct view. Confirm the precise equipment and operating limitations on the vehicle you are considering.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

Additional equipment includes:

  • PARKTRONIC front and rear parking sensors
  • Surround-view camera system
  • Tire-pressure monitoring
  • Electronic stability and traction control
  • Automatic rollover protection

Parking sensors and camera views can help when maneuvering near obstacles. Stability systems and convertible-specific protection address other driving situations, but none eliminate the need for careful operation.
