Street Lines: Mercedes-Benz CLE 450 4MATIC Coupe

Mercedes-Benz’s CLE 450 4MATIC Coupe targets understated luxury while delivering performance and everyday practicality, according to the review. The article describes a test vehicle finished in Polar White with Power Red accents and black leather, priced at nearly $70,000 at launch. Introduced in 2024, the CLE line merges qualities of earlier C-Class and E-Class two-door models. Power comes from a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with a mild-hybrid system, rated at 375 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The coupe is claimed to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds, while the review notes an average of 26 mpg. An optional Engineering Package added adaptive suspension and rear-axle steering. Inside, the cabin features Burmester Surround Sound with Dolby Atmos, a panoramic roof, and heated/ventilated front seats, plus MBUX infotainment. The review suggests wanting the more powerful AMG CLE 53 Coupe, starting at $76,300.
