In AMG form, the Mercedes-Benz CLE is equally at home on coastal highways and twisting back roads.

If you’re looking for a car company that sells pretty much everything, look no further than Mercedes-Benz. Sedans, coupes, plug-in hybrids, EVs — heck, the German manufacturer will even offer a wagon again in Canada beginning in 2026. If Mercedes doesn’t have it, you don’t want it. The fact that each vehicle is dripping with excellent design, solid performance, and oodles of tech just makes the brand even better.

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE is a bit of an in-betweener. Introduced in 2024 as a replacement for both the C- and E-Class coupes and convertibles (or cabriolets, in Mercedes parlance), it offers four seats and three distinct trims. It might not be the most popular model Mercedes offers, but with great acceleration, stylish looks, and luxury features that don’t quit, the CLE definitely deserves a test drive.

Verdict: The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE isn’t the perfect car for everyone, but for those who want an open-top weekend cruiser with all the bells and whistles, its convertible trims are tough to beat.
