With dimensions of 4 850 mm in length, 1 860 mm in width, and 1 428 mm in height, the CLE stands out as one of the larger coupes in the mid-size segment which translates to a roomy interior. A prominent 12.3-inch digital instrument display provides all the essential information at a glance, while the 11.9-inch central display, positioned in a portrait format, integrates into the centre console. Additionally, the optional Burmester 3D surround sound system provides audio enjoyment, with 17 speakers positioned throughout the cabin for an immersive listening experience.

With the inclusion of rear-axle steering and a more direct steering ratio, the CLE promises both agility and stability. The rear wheels are capable of steering up to 2.5 degrees, resulting in a reduced turning circle. At speeds below 60 km/h, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels, virtually shortening the wheelbase and significantly improving manoeuvrability.

  • E200 – R1 344 750
  • E220 d – R1 430 550

Looking at the four-door counterpart, the model can be equipped in two configurations, namely the E200 and the E220 d, the former equipped with 150 kW and 320 N.m from its petrol-powered four-cylinder motor while the latter is an oil burner of the same displacement and configuration delivering 145 kW and 440 N.m. This price includes a 5-year/100 000 km service plan and maintenance plan.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
