The model
Read full Mercedes CLE reviewWhile the Mercedes CLE Coupé might not stand out as an exceptional value proposition, it is a compelling choice for those seeking a comfortable, long-distance cruiser with a touch more practicality than its closest rivals. The Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 performance version is very quick but a BMW M4 has sharper handling.
