Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! CLE or 4 Series?

I like the way this guy brings all the info without unnecessary drama, very genuine and mature.

I recently sat in that red cle interior. It is a showstopper in real life.

Great design focussed on the go getter. Never knew they do not care about build quality, true comfort but love loads of plastic. Plus on screen gismos. You said it "liveable backseat" sums it up!

Nice job. Beautiful styling, I agree base engine is nice in my SUV but that definitely needs more power. I purchased a BMW 240i x drive which I thought was more sporty. Fantastic review.

I think the best combo (if possible) would be to get the CLE450 with the AMG appearance package. The car is too bland looking otherwise and I think the CLE53 would be too much exhaust-wise. Thanks for posting!

Great car that also looks epic. I hope this car has a great built quality with good materials unlike the c class. I hope there aren't any creeks and rattles like the C Class. Just above 70k for that car.... I'd rather take that 70k and put it in the current Audi S5 4 door sports back. I feel like I'd be getting more car for my money if I choose that vehicle. But that's just my opinion. Anyways enjoy and epic video

you make great content by the way! like your videos, shooting and voice!

First it was planned to bring a CLE63 SE Performance with a 2.0l 4 cylinder. Now it's planned to bring a CLE63 with the 4.0l V8, but much later, maybe in 2-3 years.

Is the moonroof creaking issue fixed ?

[mehmetonbilgin]

How about suspension, is it like C or E class ?

[lawrenceredden]

This is a good looming coupe minus the rear tail lights. I really wish Mercedes could've left the b-pillar out.

[MaestroWenarto]

amazing review, yes, 450 is the best

[dearcoolz]

I think the bmw 4 series coupe would be a better comparison here.

[zooameba]

The seat area is the same size as in the C coupe and the doors are also the same size as in the C coupe

[zooameba]

did you see the hole in the armature above the steering wheel, ugly as if it wasn't finished

[Jdnicks]

CLE means a C-class car with E-class price.

[zooameba]

Year 2024 NO sequential turn signals....Hey Mercedes
Lights are very boring and back windows don't GO DOWN. I'm owner C coupe 2018 and this is more replica... they put together C and E class and they made C class again for double price. Have a nice day from Europe

[emmo]

ngl i can't get passed the center screen. It cannibalizes the entire interior in my opinion and immediately make this a lease machine. I couldn't imagine owning this long term... maybe if the cle63 ends up being a v8 -- but even then at that price there's better options. A used w205 c63 is a significantly better deal imo.
