2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet & Coupe: What’s New?

Both the Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe and Cabriolet offer several upgrades for the 2026 model year. When you build a new Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet or Coupe, you can find options such as:

• Black Fine Structure Center Console Trim: Regardless of which Mercedes-Benz CLE body style or trim you prefer, you’ll enjoy enhanced interior customization with the new Black Fine Structure console trim. This available blacked-out center console trim adds a touch of clean elegance to the cabin.

• AMG® CLE MANUFAKTUR® Edition: Race-ready AMG® CLE Cabriolet and Coupe models now offer the AMG® CLE MANUFAKTUR® Edition. This exclusive edition features a specially curated exterior and interior alongside a generous selection of standard equipment.

• Surround View System: The popular Surround View System, which uses built-in cameras to compose a live overhead view of your vehicle, is now available as a standalone option.

In addition to these enhancements, each model receives unique updates based on its body style. The Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe now offers an optional Engineering Package, which adds 2.5-degree rear-axle steering alongside an Adaptive Damping Suspension. Similarly, the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet now offers the Adaptive Damping Suspension as an available option.

2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe & Cabriolet Comparison

While the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe and Cabriolet are similar, there are a few key differences between the two body styles. Determine which model is right for your travels in the comparison below:

• Style: The choice between the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet and Coupe often comes down to lifestyle. Many drivers prefer the year-round comfort of a permanently enclosed cabin, making the Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe an attractive option. That said, adventurous drivers who want to feel the wind in their hair will appreciate the retractable soft-top equipped on the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet.

• Trunk Space: Despite differences in roof material, the Mercedes-Benz CLE lineup offers very similar cabin space, with seating for up to four standard across the lineup. However, those who need to store extra items in their trunk will likely prefer the Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe, which offers 11.2 cubic feet of trunk space compared to the 9.6 cubic feet available on the Cabriolet.

No matter which Mercedes-Benz CLE model you choose, you’ll enjoy high-end performance and ultra-luxe amenities. Standard features on both models include power front seats with memory, an 11.9-inch touchscreen display, and the interactive Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX).
