Frequently Asked Questions

Is the vehicle a 4-seater or a 5-seater?

Strictly a 4-passenger vehicle. It features two dedicated rear seats rather than a traditional rear bench to maximize lateral support and comfort for rear passengers during spirited driving.

What replaced the C-Class and E-Class models?

Mercedes-Benz streamlined its two-door lineup by completely retiring the C-Class and E-Class variants, introducing the all-new CLE to offer the agility of the former and the premium dimensions of the latter.

Does the vehicle come standard with all-wheel drive?

Yes. Every model in the lineup features the legendary 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system as standard equipment, ensuring exceptional traction during heavy Texas rainstorms. For a comprehensive look at these features, review our grand touring capabilities guide.

What is the maximum cargo capacity of the trunk?

11.2 cubic feet for the standard models, and 9.8 cubic feet for the AMG® variant. This volume easily accommodates premium golf bags or luggage for a weekend getaway.

Does the infotainment system include Apple CarPlay®?

Yes. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard equipment, allowing you to seamlessly connect your smartphone to the central portrait display without utilizing physical cables.

What is the 0 to 60 mph acceleration time for the top AMG® variant?

4.2 seconds. The top-tier AMG® CLE 53 utilizes an AMG-enhanced 3.0-liter inline-6 turbo engine with an electric auxiliary compressor that delivers a staggering 443 horsepower. You can verify official performance data on the official Mercedes-Benz USA specifications page.

Does the engine require premium gas?

Yes. To protect the advanced turbochargers and ensure maximum power output, all trim levels require premium unleaded gasoline.

Can the vehicle save personalized driver profiles?

Yes. A built-in biometric fingerprint scanner allows the vehicle to instantly recall your personalized seating positions and dual-zone climate preferences.

Are the front seats heated?

Yes. Heavily bolstered front seats feature standard heating functionalities and specific memory controls to ensure absolute comfort on long highway drives across Taylor County.

Does the vehicle feature a panoramic sunroof?

Yes. A massive Panorama roof is standard equipment across the entire lineup, allowing natural light to flood the cabin and providing an expansive view of the sky above Abilene.
