    The new Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet, like the coupe upon which it’s based, serves as a replacement for the smaller C-Class and larger E-Class.

    UPDATE, 06/08/2024 –We’ve updated this article with additional specification information that has become available. Our review of the related CLE Coupe is also now live.

    Priced from $135,900 before on-road costs, the convertible went on sale in Australia on July 17, exclusively in CLE 300 4Matic guise. It’s around $12,000 more expensive than the coupe.

    Standard equipment includes the AMG Line appearance package, Mercedes-Benz’s black trim Night Package, and the Digital Light package, providing adaptive LED headlights.

    Mercedes-Benz says there’s a number of Cabriolet-specific features, such as heat-reflective leather upholstery, ‘Airscarf’ headroom heating and an ‘Aircap’ wind deflector system.

    The 11.9-inch infotainment screen in the CLE Cabriolet can also be tilted between 15 and 40 degrees to avoid shining the sun’s rays back into the driver’s eyes while enjoying open-top motoring.
