In this review by Savagegeese, we delve into the luxurious world of the Mercedes-Benz CLE 450, a rare breed of coupe that aims to combine elegance with performance. Priced at around $70,000, this car offers a bang for your buck with features like Burmester audio and a sophisticated air purification system. The interior exudes quality with attention to detail in every corner, showcasing German craftsmanship at its finest. However, the integration of technology, while impressive, may leave some drivers frustrated with its complexity and fingerprint-attracting surfaces.
Behind the wheel, the CLE 450 shines as a comfortable cruiser rather than a sports car, emphasizing a smooth and refined driving experience over aggressive performance. The two suspension options, Comfort and Sport, cater to different preferences, highlighting Mercedes' commitment to versatility. The drivetrain options, including a 4-cylinder CLLE 300 and a more potent CLLE 450 with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, offer a range of choices for drivers seeking power and efficiency.
On the road, the CLE 450 impresses with its balanced handling, soft inputs, and stable ride quality. It strikes a chord with those looking for a relaxed driving experience without compromising on luxury. Despite its price point, this Mercedes coupe delivers on comfort, performance, and overall usability, making it a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking a refined yet enjoyable ride.
