Introducing the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe: A New Era of Elegance and Performance
May 21 2024,
Mercedes-Benz has long been synonymous with luxury, innovation, and style. Continuing this legacy, the all-new 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe seamlessly merges the allure of the C-Class and E-Class into a single, iconic model. Set to debut in Canadian dealerships soon, this sleek coupe promises to redefine automotive excellence with its striking design, advanced technology, and powerful yet efficient performance.
A First Look at the CLE Coupe
At first glance, the 2025 CLE Coupe captures attention with its bold and athletic stance. The aerodynamic "shark nose" front end, complemented by flat LED headlights and a three-dimensional chrome grille adorned with the Mercedes-Benz star pattern, creates a commanding presence. The rear design is equally impressive, featuring two-part LED taillights with distinct contours and three-dimensional light bodies.
Optional packages like the AMG Line further enhance the coupe's dynamic aesthetics. This package includes a unique front bumper with sporty air intakes, larger front brake discs, an upgraded exhaust system, and an exclusive interior with sports seats, a multifunction sports steering wheel in Nappa leather, and AMG sports pedals.
Under the Hood: Advanced Powertrain and Performance
The 2025 CLE 300 4MATIC Coupe is powered by a cutting-edge four-cylinder mild-hybrid powertrain from Mercedes-Benz’s modular engine family, FAME (Family of Modular Engines). This system combines turbocharging with a second-generation integrated starter generator (ISG) to deliver robust performance, particularly at lower engine speeds. With an enhanced battery, the electric motor now produces 23 horsepower, up from 21 hp in previous models, and offers a boost torque of 148 lb-ft.
This powertrain is paired with the innovative 9G-TRONIC Automatic Transmission, a nine-speed automatic that stands out for its efficiency, comfort, and dynamic capabilities. As the world's first 9-speed automatic transmission with a hydrodynamic torque converter in the premium segment, it sets a new standard for driving pleasure.
Luxury and Technology Inside
Step inside the 2025 CLE Coupe, and you're greeted by a spacious, modern, and sporty interior. The cabin features a floating 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and an 11.9-inch central display that seamlessly rises from the centre console, slightly angled towards the driver for optimal visibility and ease of use.
The latest, third-generation MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system is a standout feature, offering a highly personalized and intuitive user interface. It supports wireless smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a new compatibility layer for third-party apps, enhancing the vehicle’s entertainment and connectivity options. Additionally, the innovative Routines function allows drivers to automate comfort features based on personal habits.
Premium Comfort and Entertainment
Standard equipment in the CLE Coupe includes heated front seats with memory, a heated steering wheel, a panoramic sliding sunroof, MB Navigation, and Ambient Lighting Plus with 64 color options. For audiophiles, the optional Burmester® 3D Surround Sound System offers an extraordinary listening experience with 15 high-performance speakers, including speakers integrated into the driver seat headrest, and a DSP amplifier delivering a total output of 710 watts.
Safety at the Forefront
Safety is paramount in the 2025 CLE Coupe. Standard advanced safety features include Blind Spot Assist, Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Active Brake Assist, and ATTENTION ASSIST. For even greater peace of mind, the available Driver Assistance Package adds functionalities such as Active Lane Change Assist, DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop & Go Assist, and Route-Based Speed Adaptation.
