Meet the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe in Metairie, LA

A two-door car should offer more than a different way to get somewhere. The 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe brings a distinctive silhouette, a carefully appointed cabin, and turbocharged mild-hybrid power to daily travel. Its four-seat layout leaves room for occasional passengers without giving up the intimate feel of a coupe. At Mercedes-Benz of New Orleans in Metairie, LA, you can explore which version fits your priorities, from relaxed luxury to a more assertive performance character.

The lineup offers three distinct choices:

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

The CLE 300 emphasizes balance, the CLE 450 adds stronger output, and the Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 gives performance a more prominent role. Choose the character you want for your everyday drive.

Interior: A More Personal Cabin

The cabin puts front-seat comfort at the center of the experience. Its adjustable layout helps you arrange the space around your routine. Rear seating adds flexibility for a four-person outing, although access and room are worth checking in person.

Interior Dimensions

  • Seating capacity: Four passengers
  • Front/rear headroom: 40.3/36 inches
  • Front/rear legroom: 42.1/34.2 inches
  • Front/rear shoulder room: 55.7/52.4 inches
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 trunk volume: 11.2 cubic feet
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 trunk volume: 9.8 cubic feet

These measurements help frame the cabin’s strengths: generous attention to the front occupants, with rear seating for added versatility. Bring your usual bags when comparing models, especially if you carry weekend luggage or larger work items.

Interior Highlights

  • Front seats: Heated, 14-way power-adjustable seats with lumbar support and cushion extensions
  • Rear seatbacks: 40/20/40 folding configuration
  • Climate control: Dual-zone automatic air conditioning
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 upholstery: MB-Tex seat trim
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 upholstery: MB-Tex/microfiber seat trim with red stitching
  • Steering column: Power tilt and telescoping adjustment

The folding rear seatbacks provide another option when an item will not fit neatly in the trunk. Up front, seat adjustment and separate climate settings let the driver and passenger find their own comfortable setup. The AMG® upholstery adds a sportier visual note without changing the coupe’s basic seating layout.

Exterior: Proportion With a Purpose

A long body and low roof give the CLE Coupe its unmistakable two-door profile. The design balances polished surfaces with details such as a lip spoiler and model-specific wheels. Its fixed-roof layout also includes opening Panorama glass, bringing light into the cabin without turning this model into a convertible.

Exterior Dimensions

  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 length: 191 inches
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 width without mirrors: 73.3 inches
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 height: 56.2 inches
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 wheelbase: 112.8 inches
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 length: 191 inches
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 width without mirrors: 76.2 inches
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 height/wheelbase: 56.5/113.2 inches

The AMG® model’s wider body makes an important difference when considering garage space or a narrow parking spot. Mirror clearance and room to open the coupe’s doors deserve a real-world check, too.

Exterior Highlights

  • CLE 300 wheels: Standard 18-inch, five-twin-spoke wheels with black accents
  • CLE 450 wheels: Standard 19-inch AMG® multispoke wheels with black accents
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 wheels: Standard 19-inch AMG® multispoke wheels with wider front and rear fitments
  • Panorama roof: Power sliding and tilting glass with a power sunshade
  • Lighting: LED headlamps and brake lights, plus automatic high beams
  • Side mirrors: Power-folding, heated mirrors with turn-signal indicators

Compare wheel designs side by side, then consider practical details such as folding mirrors and the roof sunshade. Those smaller touches help the coupe adapt to daily use.

Performance: Choose Your Tempo

The three powertrains give shoppers meaningful choices rather than a single engine with different cosmetic treatments. All use a mild-hybrid system, which supports the gasoline powertrain through a starter-generator. This is not a plug-in hybrid, so you do not need to build a charging stop into your routine.

Engines and Powertrains

  • CLE 300: 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4; 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque
  • CLE 450: 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6; 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53: 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 with an electric auxiliary compressor; 443 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque

The CLE 450 offers a substantial output increase over the CLE 300, while the AMG® model adds performance-focused hardware. A test drive can help you decide how much of that character you want every day.

Transmission and Drivetrain

  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 transmission: Nine-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic with DYNAMIC SELECT
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 transmission: Nine-speed AMG® SPEEDSHIFT® TCT 9G automatic with AMG® DYNAMIC SELECT
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 drivetrain: Full-time 4MATIC® all-wheel drive
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 drivetrain: AMG® Performance 4MATIC®+ all-wheel drive
  • Manual shift control: Steering-wheel shift paddles

Drive-mode selection and paddles let you tailor the experience without sacrificing automatic convenience. All-wheel drive is part of the lineup, but attentive driving and appropriate tires remain essential when conditions change.

Driving Experience and Efficiency

The CLE 300 uses Comfort Ride suspension, the CLE 450 has a sport-tuned setup, and the Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 adds adaptive suspension with selectable ride control. Those differences are as relevant as engine output on familiar roads. Compare how each model responds over imperfect pavement and through turns. Mild-hybrid assistance and regenerative braking are part of the engineering package; actual fuel use still depends on driving habits, traffic, and conditions.

Technology: Your Digital Assistant

Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe features include a digital interface for navigation, entertainment, and communication. Explore the touchscreen and steering-wheel controls to find your most-used functions before setting off.

Displays and Infotainment

  • Center display: 11.9-inch touchscreen
  • Multimedia: Third-generation MBUX system
  • Navigation: MB Navigation with live traffic information
  • CLE 300 and CLE 450 audio: Burmester® surround sound with 17 speakers
  • Mercedes-AMG® CLE 53 audio: Burmester® surround sound with 15 speakers

The speaker counts differ, so do not assume every model uses an identical audio setup. Try familiar music during your visit and check how easily you can view directions, adjust audio, and return to the main screen.

Connectivity and Convenience

  • Smartphone integration: Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • Connected features: Mobile hotspot capability and smart-device remote engine start
  • Cargo access: Power trunk with hands-free access

Wireless phone integration can reduce cable clutter, while trunk convenience is useful when your hands are occupied. Ask about compatible devices, service activation, and any subscription requirements for connected functions on the vehicle you are considering.

Safety: Support for the Drive

The coupe’s safety equipment covers both moving traffic and low-speed maneuvering. Driver-assistance functions can provide useful alerts or intervention, but they do not replace awareness or control of the vehicle.

Driver-Assistance Features

  • Braking assistance: Active Brake Assist with autonomous emergency braking
  • Blind-spot awareness: Blind Spot Assist
  • Driver attention: Driver-monitoring alerts
  • Following-distance assistance: Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®

Review how each system operates and confirm the equipment on your chosen vehicle. Learning the alerts and limitations before daily use helps you understand what assistance to expect.

Parking, Visibility, and Vehicle Safety

  • Parking sensors: Front and rear PARKTRONIC
  • Camera visibility: Aerial-view camera system and backup camera
  • Vehicle control: Electronic stability control and traction control
  • Occupant protection: Front, side, and curtain airbags
  • Tire monitoring: Tire-specific low-pressure warnings

Camera views and sensors offer additional information when maneuvering, while stability and occupant-protection systems serve different roles on the road. Ask for a demonstration to see how the parking display works from the driver’s seat.
