Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet launched in India: Know prices, features, other details

Mercedes-Benz India has launched the Mercedes CLE Cabriolet and AMG GLC 43 4Matic Coupe in the Indian market. The model was unveiled in July 2023 globally. 

For Rs 1.1 crore (ex-showroom), Mercedes-Benz India has added the CLE Cabriolet to its Indian lineup. This convertible model made its exclusive debut in India when it was globally released in July 2023.

A 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, mildly hybrid turbocharged petrol engine with 416 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque will power the AMG GLC 43 coupe. Mercedes boasts that the coupe has a top speed of 250 kph and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 4.8 seconds. A 9-speed automatic gearbox is mated to it.

After the SL 55 Roadster and the E 53 Cabriolet, this is the third convertible model available in India. The Modular Rear Architecture (MRA) platform of Mercedes, which also serves as the foundation for the C-Class, is the basis for the CLE Cabriolet, which had its global debut in July 2023. The CLE's appearance is strikingly similar to that of the current E-Class coupe and cabriolet. It has a long hood and a big grille up front that resembles a shark's nose.

When it comes to the interior, the CLE shares a lot of similarities with the C-Class. Tonka brown/black, Power red/black, and black leather upholstery are the available options. There are two fabric colour possibilities for the soft top: red and black. The key features of the Cabriolet's 2+2 seating arrangement include a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument cluster and an 11.9-inch infotainment display in the portrait orientation.

AMG sports seats, an AMG Nappa leather steering wheel with paddles, digital LED lights, a tiltable infotainment screen, 19-inch AMG alloy wheels, a 710W Burmester 3D sound system with 17 speakers, AR navigation, a HUD display, a 360-degree camera, park assist, blind spot assist, and more are among the additional features. The soft has a 20-second opening and closing time and a segment first centre airbag.
