The Germans have not yet used the CLE designation, although they have registered it for a long time. Now it seems that it will actually be presented and the new model will complement the existing CLA and CLS cars. According to the Autoblog.it website. it will then surprisingly be a convertible that will replace the current generations of models C and E without a roof.

In addition to the convertible, according to the Italians, this car will also create a coupe, which will also replace the C and E series coupe on the market. This is an interesting step for Mercedes, as both models are very close to each other and could steal customers from each other. Thus, there will be only one model standing in size between them. It is not certain that the two-door, roofless version will be the only one the CLE will bring.

“There will be something else besides the coupe and convertible in this segment, but there will be some time before I can talk about it,” said Marcus Schafer, Mercedes’ Benz’s top man for research and development.

According to the information available so far, CLE should reach the market in 2023. At present, however, we can look forward to another expected model from Mercedes, namely the reborn two-seater SL sports car.
