The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE earns an 8.17/10 expert rating, and the model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Technology.

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

It is positioned as a stylish in-between model with four seats, strong acceleration, luxury features, and a design meant to feel special. The trade-offs are clear: the back seat is cramped and cargo space is limited, so it fits you best if you value style, premium features, and open-top weekend cruising more than everyday practicality.

Cons: Cramped back seat and not much cargo space are the main compromises, and advanced safety features are not standard.

The market looks fairly accessible, with 33.4% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE reliable?

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE is presented as a premium model with a four-year/50,000-mile limited warranty and complimentary roadside assistance, which helps support ownership confidence. Its powertrains are described as smooth and well matched to the car’s character, and the AMG version adds more performance without becoming overwhelming.

The performance notes also point to a nine-speed automatic that shifts quickly and smoothly, which is a good sign for everyday drivability. Mercedes also includes complimentary roadside assistance, which adds a little peace of mind for used buyers.

For long-term ownership, your biggest risk is less about basic durability and more about premium-car upkeep and option complexity.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-trim or heavily optioned example. Focus on condition details that matter in a premium coupe or convertible: interior wear, top operation if applicable, and whether the car has the equipment you want.

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 rather than the more upscale materials you may want.
• Powertrain: The 300 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 255 horsepower, the 450 steps up to a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with 375 horsepower, and the AMG CLE 53 raises output to 433 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque.
• Safety package: The standard driver-assist set is limited to blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking; lane-keep assist, speed-limit monitoring, evasive steering assist, and emergency stop assist are part of the Driver Assistance Package.
• Infotainment: Every CLE gets a 12.3-inch reconfigurable gauge cluster and an 11.9-inch center touchscreen, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard and optional augmented reality navigation.
• 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:

• Base trim: The 300 gives you the CLE experience at the lowest entry point, but you give up the stronger engine and some of the more dramatic performance hardware found higher up.
• Sweet-spot trim: The 450 is the best balance if you want more power without jumping all the way to AMG pricing and intensity.
• Premium/top trim: The AMG CLE 53 is the most compelling choice if you want the sharpest styling, the strongest performance, and the most enthusiast-focused setup.

The Driver Assistance Package is optional, so if you want the fuller safety and convenience suite, make sure the car you’re considering has it.

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

This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you can shop carefully without expecting every listing to be a bargain.

• Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 583 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.44% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 96.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $62,976.80, 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 $64,327 sits slightly below last year's $66,622.

That tells you the market has eased a bit, which can help you as a buyer today but may temper resale expectations later. If you buy near the lower end of the range, you give yourself a better chance of limiting depreciation exposure. If you pay closer to the top of the range, you’ll want to be especially selective about trim, options, and condition so the car holds appeal when it’s time to sell.

Is the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE safe?

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

The CLE’s standard safety equipment includes blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. More advanced features such as lane-keep assist, speed-limit monitoring, evasive steering assist, and emergency stop assist are bundled into the optional Driver Assistance Package, so you should check carefully for that package if safety tech matters to you.

The main caveat is that the advanced driver-assistance features are not standard, so a used example without the package will feel less fully equipped than you might expect in this class.

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:

• 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 96.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.44% compared with last year.
• It combines strong acceleration, luxury features, and a modern tech story in a stylish in-between package.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $57,922, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $64,327 average.
• It offers a fresh, well-sized coupe-and-convertible package with strong comfort and technology.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It refines the CLE into a polished grand tourer with strong performance and easy-to-use technology.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of style, tech, and current-market availability, the 2025 is the primary path to consider. If your priority is saving money, the 2024 is the smarter price-sensitive alternative, while the 2026 makes sense if you want the next-step refinement and are willing to pay for it.
