After what felt like an eternity of anticipation, Mercedes-Benz has finally pulled back the curtains to reveal its highly awaited all-new CLE Coupe. The Stuttgart-based automaker has treated us to a delightful glimpse of the 2024 CLE Coupe, which is set to hit the market early next year, replacing both the C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe.

Now, let’s get to the juicy details. This is not just your ordinary C-Class with a couple of doors slapped on. Oh no! The CLE Coupe shares the same 112.8-inch wheelbase as its C-Class sibling, but it stretches a whole 4.0 inches longer. That means it outshines the outgoing C-Class Coupe by a substantial 6.5 inches and even edges out the E-Class Coupe by a teeny-tiny six-tenths of an inch.

But wait, there’s more! Unlike its C-Class counterpart, the CLE comes with a range of engine options that are sure to get your heart racing. The star of the show is the CLE 450 4Matic, featuring a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine with not one, but two snappy turbochargers. With the help of an integrated starter generator, this powertrain churns out an impressive 375 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It’s mated to a smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system that has been given a sleek redesign, shedding some weight in the process.

Now, for those looking for a taste of luxury in a more modest package, fear not! The United States market will also be treated to a base model, the CLE 300 4Matic. It may have fewer cylinders, but it’s no slouch. Under the hood, you’ll find a 2.0-liter turbo engine, also equipped with a mild hybrid setup. This feisty powerplant delivers a spirited 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. And yes, it too is paired with the same nine-speed automatic transmission and Mercedes’ trusted 4Matic system. As for performance specifics, we’ll have to wait a little longer for the full scoop, but we do know that the top speed will be electronically capped at 130 miles per hour.

Inside the CLE Coupe, you’ll find a cabin that closely resembles its C-Class sibling. The centerpiece is a grand 12.3-inch display sitting proudly on the center console, accompanied by an 11.9-inch digital instrument cluster that keeps you informed and entertained. However, the front seats steal the spotlight with their exclusive design, boasting two speakers nestled right at headrest level. These high-quality speakers are part of the standard Burmester premium audio system, ensuring an immersive sound experience. And here’s a cool first for Mercedes: unlocking the seats is as simple as tugging on an elegant Nappa loop positioned at the upper edge of the backrest, granting you access to the rear seats.

As for pricing, the suspense continues as Mercedes has yet to release that information. But worry not, car enthusiasts, as the 2024 CLE Coupe will be making its way to US dealerships early next year. And if you’re dreaming of cruising with the wind in your hair, hold on a little longer because the CLE Cabriolet, the convertible version of this beauty, will be joining the lineup at a later date. Brace yourselves, folks, as AMG-branded versions of both the coupe and convertible are also in the works, promising an even more exhilarating driving experience for those seeking the ultimate thrill on the road.
