The CLE is Mercedes' latest two-door coupe and convertible model.
It consolidates the previous-generation C-Class and E-Class coupe and convertible.
It shares the same polished powertrain and athletic chassis of the current C-Class.
The punchy, 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder and smooth-shifting nine-speed automatic deliver plenty of power.
This powertrain also gets a 48-volt mild-hybrid setup for a smoother stop/start and unobtrusive A/C operation.
The CLE likely possesses the C-Class' sporty handling and steady and composed ride.
It is offered with an optional AMG sport suspension, which will make the ride stiffer.
The front seats are supportive, and cabin fit and finish is impressive.
Capacitive-touch controls add further frustrations to the infotainment system.
