MBUX supports personalized profiles and Routines that can automate selected functions according to saved preferences or configured conditions.

The CLE 300 and CLE 450 offer a standard 17-speaker, 660-watt Burmester 3D Surround Sound System. Mercedes-Benz describes a separate 17-speaker, 710-watt Burmester system as an available option for the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Coupe.
Available equipment packages can add DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps with supported road-surface projection, MBUX Augmented Video for Navigation, a Head-Up Display, and additional entertainment functions. Package contents, included service periods, and availability should be confirmed for the specific 2027 model and configuration.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2027 CLE Coupe offers standard occupant-protection, driver-assistance, and parking technologies, including:
- DISTRONIC® adaptive cruise control
- Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning
- Active Parking Assist
- Surround View camera system
- PRE-SAFE® occupant-protection technology
- Center airbag between the driver and front passenger
- Automatic front-seatbelt presenters
DISTRONIC can adjust the vehicle’s speed in response to certain traffic conditions ahead. The parking and camera systems can assist with low-speed maneuvering, but the driver must continue to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings.

Available driver-assistance equipment can add functions such as Active Steering Assist, Active Lane Change Assist, additional braking assistance, and further support in stop-and-go traffic. Specific functions depend on the selected package and vehicle configuration.
Available GUARD 360° vehicle protection can provide alerts and camera images associated with certain events while the vehicle is parked. An applicable active service subscription, connectivity, and compatible vehicle equipment may be required. The system cannot guarantee the security of the vehicle or its contents.
DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps with available road-surface projection can display supported alerts under appropriate conditions. Lighting and driver-assistance systems do not replace attentive driving or compliance with traffic laws.
