Milton Keynes is buzzing with excitement as Mercedes-Benz UK unveils the latest addition to their luxury lineup: the new CLE Cabriolet. This elegant, four-seat convertible is hitting the UK market with a starting price of £52,995 OTR (INR 55.66 lakh) for the CLE 200 AMG Line, offering a blend of top-tier luxury and open-air freedom.
The CLE Cabriolet, drawing inspiration from the CLE Coupé, features a multi-layer fabric soft top capable of transforming from cozy to breezy in a swift 20 seconds. Available in AMG Line, AMG Line Premium, AMG Line Premium Plus, and Premier Edition specs, it caters to a wide range of luxury tastes.
This Cabriolet isn’t just about good looks; it’s also about advanced engineering. The lineup includes both four-cylinder and six-cylinder petrol engines, as well as a four-cylinder diesel option, all boasting mild-hybrid technology.
But what really sets the CLE Cabriolet apart is its array of features. The electrically operated soft top ensures a quiet cabin, while the Aircap and Airscarf systems guarantee comfort regardless of weather. The Aircap reduces wind turbulence, and the Airscarf gently wraps front passengers in warm air – a true game-changer for chilly days.
Mercedes-Benz hasn’t skimped on tech either. The new model comes equipped with the latest MBUX infotainment system, featuring a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch central display. And when the top is down, the display tilts to eliminate glare, a thoughtful touch for sunny drives.
The AMG Line models are packed with 18” AMG alloy wheels, LED High Performance headlamps, and a host of safety features. The Premium versions add larger wheels and sophisticated lighting, while the Premium Plus throws in luxury comforts like massage seats and a high-end Burmester sound system. The Premier Edition tops it off with a Night Package, heated steering wheel, and exclusive Nappa leather upholstery.
Color options for the CLE Cabriolet range from the bold Patagonia Red to the elegant Opalite White, with soft top choices in Black, Red, or Grey. The interior can be personalized with various leather options, with the Premier Edition featuring Nappa leather as standard.
For those desiring the latest in safety and assistance systems, the Advanced Driving Assistance Package Plus is available for an additional cost. And when it comes to power, Mercedes-Benz offers a range of engines, all coupled with a 9G-Tronic Plus nine-speed automatic transmission and mild hybrid technology.
This new CLE Cabriolet is more than just a car; it’s a statement of style, luxury, and technological prowess, ready to take on the UK roads. Mercedes-Benz has indeed raised the bar, or should we say, lowered the top, on luxury driving.
