2.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol with 9G-TRONIC and 4MATIC
Fuel tank 66 L, premium unleaded
ASSYST PLUS flexible service display based on use
Euro NCAP five-star rating
Standard PRE-SAFE, Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST and multiple airbags
The CLE 300 4MATIC runs a turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder mild hybrid paired to the 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic and permanent all-wheel drive. Official figures list combined consumption in the region of 7 L/100 km depending on equipment and market, with a 66-litre tank.
Service needs are shown by the ASSYST PLUS system. It calculates remaining time or distance from actual driving style rather than fixed mileage alone, typically pointing to the first visit around one year or 15 000–25 000 km.
Euro NCAP awarded the CLE Coupé five stars in 2025 with strong adult and child scores. Standard kit includes PRE-SAFE, Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST, lane support, a full set of airbags including a centre bag, and an active bonnet.
Keep the car on the recommended ASSYST schedule and use the correct premium fuel. Regular checks of the mild-hybrid system and run-flat tyres help maintain everyday reliability.
