Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet FAQs

Considering a 10 percent down payment and 7-year loan tenure, the CLE Cabriolet EMI starts at Rs 1.94 lakh in Delhi.

Mercedes sells the CLE Cabriolet in India with the AMG Line cosmetic package.

The Rs 1.15 crore-CLE Cabriolet is the entry-point to Mercedes drop-top range. It is positioned below the SL roadster, which is available in both AMG (Rs 2.34 crore) and Maybach (Rs 4.3 crore) guises.

The CLE Cabriolet is aimed at those looking for a smooth and relaxing convertible. What the CLE 300 offers is a car that is comfy and luxurious enough to use as a daily driver, but can change its character in 20 seconds and offer a completely different experience.

The India-spec Mercedes CLE Cabriolet gets the AMG line treatment as standard, which adds a layer of sportiness to the design. As a result, the only chrome bits on the face are the studded grille and the strip on the front lip. 

With the soft top down, there isn’t much room in the 295-litre boot; there is space only for soft bags. Add a spare wheel, which in our conditions is always handy, and you are left with very little space. 

The CLE is a 2+2, but space in the back is best suited for children or short drives for adults under 6 feet. The backrest is upright, underthigh support is near absent and knee room is tight as well.

Being a long-distance cruiser, the suspension on the CLE is tuned for bad roads. It is soft and supple, and hence, despite the 19-inch wheels, ride comfort is very good. There is no adaptive suspension, so changing the modes won’t change the ride, but the stock setup works very well for our road conditions. One miss would be a nose-lift function as ground clearance is something to worry about, especially with a full load.
