About the Mercedes-Benz CLE C236
The Mercedes-Benz CLE (C236) was introduced in 2023 to streamline the brand's portfolio by replacing both the C-Class and E-Class coupés. It sits on the MRA2 platform, offering a wheelbase nearly identical to the outgoing E-Class for improved interior space compared to the old C-Class. The CLE 300 4MATIC features a 2.0-litre M254 engine paired with a 48-volt integrated starter generator that provides an additional 23 hp boost. It is designed as a comfortable, tech-heavy grand tourer, featuring the latest MBUX infotainment system and a cabin that prioritises refinement over outright sports car agility.
