The CLE is an all-new offering in the Mercedes lineup for 2024.
The Mercedes-Benz CLE is a compact luxury sedan, putting it in competition with the BMW 4-Series, Ford Mustang and the Audi A5. While BMW and Audi tend to look at their compact sedans primarily as performance vehicles, Mercedes tends toward luxury. The CLE offers a level of quiet composure that's rare at this price point. Even the absurdly powerful AMG trimmed CLE models do luxury better than other German automakers, while offering performance that can compete with cars of any price.
