On a beautiful sunny day, nothing beats cruising along in a sleek convertible with the top down. The brand-new Mercedes CLE Cabriolet has arrived just in time for summer, joining the recently-released CLE coupe. The 2024 Mercedes Benz Cabriolet is available in two models and features sophisticated updates to design, technology, and luxury.
A Roomier, Quieter Mercedes Benz Cabriolet
The new Mercedes Benz Cabriolet is longer by an inch. This slight increase means more leg, shoulder, and headroom, especially for rear passengers.
AIRSCARF and AIRCAP technologies have been improved to ensure a quieter, comfier ride when driving in the open air. AIRSCARF sends a warm current of air around the neck of the front passengers, creating a pleasant and temperate drive even in colder weather. AIRCAP has been further optimized to efficiently direct airflow over passengers’ heads; a rear deflector automatically protects against wind at the rear headrests.
Thanks to the insulated, multi-layered structure of the soft top, you will enjoy a much quieter ride when the top is closed.
Can You Drive A Mercedes Benz Cabriolet In The Rain?
Absolutely! The power-operated soft top can close in as little as 20 seconds and up to 37 mph, should the weather suddenly change. Unlike a hard top, there are no rain gutters or moldings to direct water away from the car. Rather, exterior features, such as the A-pillars, windshield frame, and mirror covers have been purposefully designed to direct the flow of rain and snowmelt.
The Safest Cabriolet Yet
The 2024 Mercedes Benz Cabriolet has been optimized for safety. The bodyshell is reinforced to enhance structural integrity and safety. There are a total of 11 airbags, including a brand-new head protection system with two head airbags for rear passengers.
A long list of standard safety features, including Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist, and Blind Spot Assist, further contribute to making this one of the safest luxury convertibles on the market. Drivers can upgrade to the Driver Assistance Package for even more sophisticated safety options, including route-based speed adaptation and Active Lane Change Assist.
Mercedes Benz CLE Cabriolet Models
There are two models available for the 2024 CLE Cabriolet: the CLE 300 4MATIC, and the CL3 450 4MATIC. Here’s a brief overview of the differences:
2024 Mercedes Benz CLE 300 4MATIC Cabriolet | 2024 Mercedes Benz CLE 450 4MATIC Cabriolet |
MSRP: $64,350 | MSRP: $73,850 |
HP: 255 | HP: 375 |
Torque: 295 | Torque: 369 |
Acceleration: 6.2 (0-60 mph) | Acceleration: 4.2 (0-60 mph) |
As you can see, the CLE 45 4MATIC Cabriolet boasts more power, greater torque, and faster acceleration. This comes at a steeper price tag, of course; but individuals looking for a more powerful ride may find the price tag worth it. Both are equipped with Mercedes’ 4MATIC all-wheel drive suspension, so they can navigate varied terrain with ease.
