The CLE is the result of a merger between the C-Class and E-Class coupes and convertibles. However, in terms of size, it’s actually longer than the two departed models. The base CLE 300 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine producing 255 hp, while the sportier AMG CLE 53 delivers 443 hp from a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine. The convertible’s multi-layered, power-operated soft top opens or closes in 20 seconds at speeds up to 60 km/h.
