How much does the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE cost?

Prices have softened 1.80% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 397 listings available, which suggests you have a workable amount of inventory to compare.

If you find a listing below $56,953.57, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE a good car?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE earns a 7.17/10 expert rating.

The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

It is positioned as an all-new model that replaces both the C-Class and E-Class coupes and convertibles, and it aims to blend comfort, technology, and refinement into a package that feels sized just right. The CLE also comes across as comfortable, easy to use, and fun to drive, which makes it appealing if you want a stylish two-door that still works for everyday use.

The main trade-offs are not much cargo space and a base powertrain that is more about smoothness than excitement. The AMG version adds more edge, but it also asks you to give up some ride comfort.

With 33.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE reliable?

The CLE is described as comfortable, easy to use, and well sorted, and the expert evaluation notes that its systems operated as they should during testing. The powertrains are also presented as smooth and quiet, with the base engine described as unusually refined for a four-cylinder.

Mercedes includes a 48-volt mild hybrid system on the base setup, which adds efficiency support to the drivetrain. The first scheduled maintenance visit is on the house, which helps soften early ownership costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright mechanical drama and more about paying for premium-car upkeep if you plan to keep it for years.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report, confirm the car’s equipment matches the listing, and prioritize a careful inspection of the interior, electronics, and convertible-top operation if applicable. Because this is a premium coupe or Cabriolet, condition matters a lot: small wear items and missing features can change the value quickly.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base CLE 300 4Matic is described as comfortable and easy to use, but it does not bring the extra power and smoothness of the CLE 450, and the AMG CLE 53 adds a more aggressive look and wider stance.
• Powertrain: The CLE 300 4Matic uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, plus a 48-volt mild hybrid system; the CLE 450 4Matic upgrades to a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with 375 hp and 369 lb-ft, while the AMG CLE 53 raises output further to 443 hp and 413 lb-ft.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, parking proximity sensors, a blind-spot monitor, a semi-automated parking system, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, cross-traffic collision alert, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, an integrated dashcam, and a low-level automated highway driving system are available.
• Infotainment: The CLE uses an 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and augmented reality overlays in the available head-up display and infotainment screen.
• Fuel efficiency: The base setup pairs the four-cylinder with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, and the CLE 300 is described as the more efficient choice relative to the higher-output variants.

Which 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE trim should I buy?

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE is offered in 3 trim levels: CLE 300 4Matic, CLE 450 4Matic, AMG CLE 53.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The CLE 300 4Matic gives you the core luxury experience, but you give up the stronger engine and extra smoothness of the higher trims.
• Sweet-spot trim: The CLE 450 4Matic is the best balance if you want more power and refinement without jumping all the way to AMG pricing and compromises.
• Premium/top trim: The AMG CLE 53 is the choice if you want the most performance and the most aggressive character, but it is the least comfort-focused.

Close attention should go to the safety equipment split, since advanced driver-assistance features are available rather than universally standard.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE?

The market looks selective rather than overheated, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient and compare listings carefully.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 397 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.80% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 95.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $56,953.57, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE's resale value?

The current average of $57,922 sits slightly below last year's $58,980.

That softer pricing suggests the CLE has already moved through some early depreciation, which can help you as a buyer today. If you buy at the right price and keep the car in strong condition, you may be better positioned than someone who paid closer to the original sticker.

The flip side is that resale value will still depend heavily on trim, mileage, and condition, especially because premium coupes and Cabriolets can be more sensitive to cosmetic wear and equipment differences.

Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE safe?

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Crash test results are not yet available from either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Standard advanced safety features are comprehensive and include frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, parking proximity sensors, a blind-spot monitor, a semi-automated parking system, automatic high beams, and a driver attention monitor. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, cross-traffic collision alert, evasive steering assist, a surround-view camera system, an integrated dashcam, and a low-level automated highway driving system are available.

The main caveat is that some of the more advanced driver-assistance features are optional rather than standard, so you should verify the exact equipment on any used example you are considering.

Should I buy a 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.80% compared with last year.
• The all-new CLE successfully replaces both the C- and E-Class coupes and convertibles with strong comfort and technology.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $64,327, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $57,922 average.
• It adds three distinct trims and a stronger luxury-and-performance pitch.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2024 is the smarter starting point because it already delivers the CLE’s core strengths at a lower average price. If you are willing to pay more for a newer model-year setup and a broader trim story, the 2025 is the path to consider.
