Complementing the AMG GLC 43 Coupé is the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 Cabriolet AMG Line, a vehicle designed to offer the ultimate open-top driving experience. This cabriolet continues Mercedes-Benz’s legacy of crafting elegant and high-performance convertibles. The CLE 300 features a powerful 2.0-liter engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, producing 190 kW (258 hp).
The CLE 300 Cabriolet stands out with its stylish fabric soft-top, which can open or close in just 20 seconds, and the advanced Aircap and Airscarf systems that ensure comfort during open-air driving. Inside, the vehicle is equipped with the latest generation MBUX infotainment system, dynamic ambient lighting, and premium leather upholstery, providing a seamless blend of luxury and technology. Available at INR 1.10 crore (ex-showroom), the CLE 300 Cabriolet offers a compelling option for luxury convertible enthusiasts in India.
