NEW MERCEDES-BENZ CLE CABRIOLET 2024

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC Cabriolet is presented as a stylish four-seat convertible combining dynamic driving with comfort. The reviewer highlights its elegant design, particularly the soft-top mechanism and interior appointments like the turbine-inspired air vents and Burmester sound system. However, significant drawbacks are noted: the reviewer finds the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine underwhelming for its $79,000 price point, deeming it a "hard pass" for the CLE 300 trim. The rear seats are described as extremely tight, offering "hardly any space." While the car is praised for its comfortable seats with massage features, enjoyable driving dynamics in sport mode, and a quick soft-top operation (around 22 seconds to close), the high price relative to the engine and limited practicality are major concerns. The reviewer suggests that for $80,000, more value can be found elsewhere, even in a GLE.
