Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE a good car?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE is an all-new model that replaces both the C-Class and E-Class coupes and convertibles, and it does so with strong results. It earns an expert rating of 7.2/10.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

It is comfortable, easy to use, and fun to drive, with the kind of comfort, technology, and refinement you expect from Mercedes-Benz. The main trade-off is limited cargo space, and the base powertrain is tuned more for smoothness and ease than for outright sportiness.

There are 37.9% good or great deals in the market, which suggests you can still find attractive pricing if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE reliable?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE is presented as a polished, well-executed new model with smooth power delivery and a composed ride. Its base turbocharged four-cylinder is described as unusually smooth and quiet, and the suspension does a good job of erasing bumps while staying composed in corners.

The standard powertrain pairs a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, and the review notes that it should satisfy most drivers. The cabin and controls are also described as easy to live with, which supports a low-stress ownership experience.

The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a luxury coupe with limited practicality can become frustrating if you need more cargo flexibility over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the car’s condition matches its mileage and asking price. A pre-purchase inspection is especially worthwhile on a luxury coupe like this, where electronics, trim condition, and maintenance history matter. Pay close attention to the cabin, the infotainment system, and any signs of hard use, since the CLE is meant to feel special inside.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The CLE is available as either a coupe or Cabriolet, and the AMG CLE 53 adds a more aggressive look with a widened stance, wider fender flares, and a racier front end. The base model is the most comfort-focused, while the AMG version is the one for buyers who want the most performance character.
• Powertrain: The CLE 300 4Matic uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, plus a 48-volt mild hybrid system. The CLE 450 4Matic steps up to a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 375 hp and 369 lb-ft, and the AMG CLE 53 raises output further to 443 hp and 413 lb-ft.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, parking proximity sensors, a blind-spot monitor, a semi-automated parking system, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor. Available upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, cross-traffic collision alert, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, an integrated dashcam, and a low-level automated highway driving system.
• Infotainment: The CLE uses an 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen with MBUX, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and voice control through “Hey Mercedes.” Augmented reality guidance is available in the head-up display and infotainment screen.
• Fuel efficiency: No fuel-economy figure is stated in the provided data.

Which 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE is offered in 3 trim levels: CLE 300 4Matic, CLE 450 4Matic, AMG CLE 53 Coupe.

Here's the short version:

• CLE 300 4Matic: This is the value play if you want the CLE’s comfort, technology, and smooth driving character without paying for extra power you may not need. It should satisfy most drivers, and it keeps the model’s core luxury appeal intact.
• CLE 450 4Matic: This is the best-value trim if you want the strongest balance of smoothness and performance. It adds a turbocharged inline-six and is described as the reviewer’s preference for its smoother operation and added power over the base powertrain.
• AMG CLE 53 Coupe: Choose this if you want the most aggressive styling and the most performance-focused version of the CLE. It brings the highest output and a more dramatic character, but it also asks you to accept more ride and noise trade-offs.

Standard safety equipment is comprehensive, but some advanced driver-assistance features remain optional.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, but the best listings may move quickly.

• Deal availability: 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 417 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.01% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.2% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $54,881, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE's resale value?

The current average of $54,881 sits slightly below last year's $59,021.

That price movement suggests the CLE has softened enough to create a better entry point for used buyers. If you buy at today’s average or below, you may be starting from a more favorable position than someone who bought closer to last year’s higher pricing.

For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend heavily on trim, condition, and mileage. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment should hold up better than higher-mileage cars with fewer features.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE safe?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE does not yet have crash test results from NHTSA or IIHS.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard advanced safety features include frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, parking proximity sensors, a blind-spot monitor, a semi-automated parking system, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor. Available driver-assistance upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, cross-traffic collision alert, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, an integrated dashcam, and a low-level automated highway driving system.

Should I buy a 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 37.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.2% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.01% compared with last year.
• The all-new CLE replaces both the C- and E-Class coupes and convertibles with excellent results.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $63,013, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $54,881 average.
• It adds a more modern identity with luxury features that don’t quit.

The bottom line: The 2024 is the smarter buy if you want the CLE’s core strengths at a lower price and with strong market availability. If you want the newer model-year experience and are willing to pay more, the 2025 is the better secondary path.
