The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

It fits well if you want a stylish two-door luxury car with strong acceleration, modern tech, and a premium feel. The CLE’s convertible trims are especially appealing if you want an open-top weekend cruiser with plenty of equipment.

The main trade-offs are a cramped back seat and limited cargo space, and advanced safety features are not standard.

There are 32.7% good or great deals in the market, which gives you a decent chance to find a well-priced example.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE reliable?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE is presented as a polished, well-equipped luxury coupe and convertible with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and complimentary roadside assistance.

Its powertrains are described as smooth and capable, with the transmission shifting quickly and cleanly, and the AMG version adding rear-wheel steering for extra agility. The model’s overall setup points to a refined ownership experience rather than a rough-edged one.

Mercedes also includes a standard warranty and roadside assistance, which helps with early ownership peace of mind. For used buyers, the bigger long-term risk is that premium features and optional equipment can make repairs and upkeep more expensive if the car has been heavily optioned.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report, verify service records, and inspect the car closely for wear on the interior, wheels, and convertible top if applicable. Pay extra attention to whether the car has the driver-assistance package, since some desirable safety features are optional rather than standard.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The CLE is available in 300, 450 or AMG CLE 53 trims in either hardtop or convertible body styles, and lower trims use MB-Tex synthetic leather while the AMG adds its own styling and hardware. The base trim gives you the core luxury look and standard 18-inch wheels, while higher trims add more power and more visual presence.
• Powertrain: The 300 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a mild-hybrid system and 255 horsepower, while the 450 steps up to a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with 375 horsepower. The AMG CLE 53 pushes that same 3.0-liter engine to 433 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque, and all models use a nine-speed automatic.
• Safety package: The Driver Assistance Package adds automatic lane changes, active steering, and stop-and-go adaptive cruise control. Standard equipment is limited to blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking, so you should confirm whether the package is installed.
• Infotainment: Every CLE gets a 12.3-inch reconfigurable gauge cluster and an 11.9-inch center touchscreen, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The system also supports optional augmented reality navigation and over-the-air-style convenience through Mercedes’ MBUX routines and voice control features.
• Fuel efficiency: The AMG convertible is rated at 22 mpg combined, while the hardtop with the smaller 2.0-liter engine returns 27 mpg combined.

Which 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE trim should I buy?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE is offered in 3 trim levels: 300, 450, AMG CLE 53.

Here's the short version:

• 300: This is the entry point and the best-value choice if you want the CLE’s style, standard tech, and luxury feel without paying for extra power. It gives you the core experience with the mild-hybrid 2.0-liter turbo-four and the standard equipment that makes the car feel modern.
• 450: This trim is the sweet spot if you want a stronger 3.0-liter inline-six and more effortless acceleration without jumping to AMG pricing. It suits you best if you want the CLE to feel more relaxed and more powerful in everyday driving.
• AMG CLE 53: Choose this if you want the most performance, the most aggressive styling, and the most adjustable driving character. It adds the 433-hp tune, rear-wheel steering, and AMG-specific hardware, but it makes the most sense if you’ll actually use the extra capability.

The Driver Assistance Package is optional, so check whether a given car has it before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and pricing movement to make comparison shopping worthwhile.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 588 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.49% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 96.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $62,892, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE's resale value?

The current average of $63,777 sits slightly below last year's $66,773.

That softer pricing suggests the CLE has already moved off its earlier peak, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means resale value may depend heavily on trim, condition, and equipment because the market is already showing some downward pressure.

If you buy well and keep the car in strong condition, you should be better positioned than someone who pays near the top of the range. The safest resale play is usually a well-equipped trim with desirable options and clean history.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE safe?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE had not yet been rated by either NHTSA or IIHS at the time of publication.

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

The standard driver-assistance setup includes blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. If you want lane-keep assist, speed-limit monitoring, evasive steering assist, or emergency stop assist, you need the optional Driver Assistance Package.

That package also adds automatic lane changes, active steering, and stop-and-go adaptive cruise control. Because those features are optional, you should verify them on any used example you’re considering.

Should I buy a 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.49% compared with last year.
• It adds strong acceleration, stylish looks, and modern tech in a refined two-door package.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $56,472, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $63,777 average.
• It offers a fresh, well-rounded take on the coupe-and-convertible formula with broad trim variety.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It leans into a more rationalized premium-coupe identity with strong everyday usability.

The bottom line: If you want the newest version with current pricing data and a healthy used-car market, the 2025 is the primary path to consider. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the better value play, while the 2026 makes sense if you want to compare the next model year’s direction before buying.
