Mercedes-Benz has launched the new CLE Cabriolet in India, priced at ₹1.10 crore (ex-showroom, India). The new Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet arrives in India as a full import and is the latest convertible offering from the German luxury carmaker and exclusively in the AMG Line trim. The CLE Cabriolet is positioned between the C-Class and E-Class Cabriolet, effectively serving as a replacement for the now-discontinued models.

Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet

The new CLE Cabriolet made its global debut in July last year and is based on the Modular Rear Architecture (MRA) platform shared with the new-gen C-Class and the next-gen E-Class due for launch later this year. Compared to the C-Class sedan, the new CLE Cabriolet is longer and borrows styling cues from both the C- and E-Class offerings. This includes a larger grille with the shark-nose effect, a long bonnet and a soft-top fabric roof that tucks away into the boot. The AMG Line adds sportier touches like the more pronounced bumpers with larger intakes and new alloy wheels.
