The Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class coupe will replace the two-door variants of the C- and E-Class. Additionally, there will be a convertible version as a similar substitute for the convertible models of these vehicles. These spy photos not only show us the fixed-roof CLE, but also include looks into the cabin.
Mercedes engineers aren’t ready to remove much camouflage. Up front, there is the horizontal bar in the grille, indicating that this is a non-AMG variant. These fast models are coming too.

The headlights are angled downward to point towards the center of the nose. The shape of these lamps is similar to the one we see on the next-gen Mercedes E-Class, which makes sense since the CLE replaces the two-door variant of this model.
From the side you can see that the coupe has a fairly wide wheelbase. It looks like there would be enough room to cram two people in the back.
The tail has a proper trunk, not a liftback layout. Camouflage hides much of the taillights, including an arc-shaped taillight at the bottom. On this non-AMG variant, the bumper hides the exhaust pipes.
This gallery includes photos of the CLE cabin with the fabric upholstery out of the way. The driver grabs a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Behind, there is a large digital dashboard. The infotainment screen has a portrait layout and a tilted position on the center console. The bottom of the screen contains the HVAC controls. There are elegant air vents with concentric metal elements and a rectangular part in the center.
The CLE-Class uses the MRA-2 platform, which the new C-Class also has. This allows the two models to share the same powertrains. That should mean the new AMG C63’s electrified 2.0-liter turbocharged engine could be among the offerings.
In addition to the coupe and the convertible, there is a rumor of a CLE-class Shooting Brake. However, we haven’t seen any spy photos of this variant.
We expect the CLE-Class to debut before the end of 2022. It’s unclear if we’ll see the convertible and coupe at the same time or if the company plans to stagger the releases of these variants. Look for the first of these to hit the road in 2023.
