What should I look for when buying a used Mercedes-Benz CLE?
Across all model years, accident-free inventory is excellent at 95.9% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 96.1% |
| 2025 | 95.8% |
| 2024 | 94.7% |
Key things to evaluate:

Which Mercedes-Benz CLE trim should I buy?
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE offers these trims:
- CLE 300 4Matic: The entry point for buyers who want the CLE’s style and premium feel at the lowest starting price, with the 300 4Matic coupe and convertible called out as the more affordable choices.
- CLE 450 4Matic: This step up adds more power while keeping the same coupe-or-convertible formula, making it a strong middle-ground choice for buyers who want extra performance without jumping to the AMG model.
- AMG CLE 53: This is the best-value trim for buyers who want the most complete version of the CLE experience, with the strongest performance, sharper handling, rear-axle steering, adaptive dampers, and the most distinctive AMG styling.
What Mercedes-Benz CLE do most buyers choose?
The Mercedes-Benz CLE years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2026.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 674 | 34.6% |
| 2024 | 435 | 35.4% |
| 2026 | 407 | 34.2% |
| 2027 | 241 | 32.8% |
Higher-volume years usually give you more choices in trims, colors, and price points, which makes it easier to find the right match. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so you can compare more listings before deciding.
What is the Mercedes-Benz CLE's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $56,064 | −3.88% |
| 2025 | $63,525 | −2.67% |
Both model years show lower prices than a year ago, which is good news if you’re shopping used. The declines are modest, and the newer of the two has moved down less over the past year. That suggests recent CLEs are still holding a fair amount of value while becoming a bit more approachable for buyers.
The 2025 and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
Is the Mercedes-Benz CLE safe?
- 2026: 7/10
- 2025: 7/10
- 2024: 7/10
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE includes the Driver Assistance Package, which adds adaptive cruise control, active blind-spot monitors, intersection assist, automatic lane-change capability, lane-keep assist, traffic-sign recognition, and evasive steering assist.
For the safest used buy, the 2024, 2025 and 2026 models all post the highest confirmed score of 7/10.
Should I buy a used Mercedes-Benz CLE now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −2.67% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −3.88%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35.4%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $63,525. The Mercedes-Benz CLE offers a stylish, upscale coupe-and-convertible character that makes it feel special without trying to be the most extravagant version of Mercedes’ two-door formula.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The CLE 53 uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that generates 443 horsepower and a standard 413 pound-feet of torque that can ramp up to 443 lb-ft for 10-second boosts.
- Tech: It gets a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 11.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
- Safety: The latest model adds adaptive cruise control, active blind-spot monitors, intersection assist, automatic lane-change capability, lane-keep assist, traffic-sign recognition, and evasive steering assist.
- Starting price: The 2026 Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 coupe starts at $77,650, including a $1,350 destination charge.
If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Mercedes-Benz CLE test drive
overall

Mercedes’ rationalized coupe and convertible lineup still delivers a premium experience.
We can’t have all the nice things, but we can have some of them. Until 2023, Mercedes-Benz offered both the midsize E-Class and the compact C-Class as coupes and convertibles alongside the meat-and-potatoes sedans. But lagging sales prompted the manufacturer to consolidate those lines into a single model called CLE. The new cars are the size of the E-Class but essentially use the ever-so-slightly less premium C-Class interior.
Every CLE performs well, but the AMG 53 model turns up the wick on power and handling. It tops the lineup until a CLE 63 arrives, and wears the duds of the AMG lineup without becoming a hardcore track car. Basically, it’s a finely tuned grand tourer that works for a weekend away in the mountains or as an everyday driver. We drove the AMG CLE 53 Cabriolet and found it a treat to still have at least some nice things.
Verdict: The CLE 53 is a stylish convertible that’s great to drive, but the experience doesn’t come cheap.
