The CLE-Class is the luxury coupe for those who prioritize style over raw performance.

Sleek and stylish design · Luxurious interior comfort
Base engine lacks punch · Touch-sensitive controls are annoying

The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class is a striking fusion of elegance and modernity, straddling the line between the C- and E-class coupes with grace. Its design is a head-turner, and the interior feels like a plush sanctuary from the chaos outside, perfect for those who relish a serene driving experience. However, the base engine leaves something to be desired, especially if you're itching for a spirited drive on winding roads. For those who value opulence and a tranquil ride over corner-carving prowess, the CLE-Class ticks all the right boxes.

Our pick: CLE 450 4MATIC Coupe ($68,600)
vs. 2026 Lexus RC: While the Lexus RC comes in at a lower price, the CLE-Class wins with its superior interior and more refined ride.
