Welcome to the world of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet: a four-seat convertible of rare elegance that blends genuine performance ability with exceptional daily comfort. From the acoustically engineered soft top to available leather seats with a proprietary reflective coating designed to keep occupants pleasantly cool on even the warmest afternoons, this is a vehicle that rewards at every turn.
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet brings together confident, athletic design with thoughtful, precision engineering, offering a rich variety of personalization options and the intelligent technology that makes top-down motoring just as comfortable as traveling with the roof in place.
Engineered for all conditions, the CLE Cabriolet's soft top prioritizes a refined, hushed cabin environment, delivers aerodynamic performance comparable to the coupe variant, and can be fully retracted in under 20 seconds while leaving the trunk fully intact. Available in black, grey, or a bold and distinctive shade of red.
10 exterior colors. 3 soft top colors. 7 wheel options. The 2026 CLE Cabriolet delivers an unmatched canvas for personal expression, so every detail of your vehicle reflects exactly who you are.
The AIRCAP® electric wind deflector system incorporates a windshield deflector that smoothly redirects airflow above occupants' heads and an automatic wind deflector positioned just behind the rear headrests, working in unison to create a serene, draft-free interior environment.
Retract the top and let the beautifully appointed interior of the 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet take center stage — home to a driver-centric central display, advanced year-round open-air comfort technology, and a thoughtfully assembled lineup of leather finishes suited to every personal preference.
Getting settled has never been easier — the CLE Cabriolet's seatbelt presenter automatically guides the belt into your hand the instant you take your seat, eliminating any uncomfortable stretching or reaching.
Offered as standard equipment on every 2026 CLE Cabriolet, AIRSCARF® is cleverly integrated within the front headrests and circulates variable levels of warm air around each occupant's neck, providing meaningful warmth on brisk days even with the top fully open. Combined with standard heated seats and dual-zone climate control, year-round convertible driving has never been more inviting.
Tailor the 2026 CLE Cabriolet's interior to your exact specifications with over 10 upholstery options, including 2 richly textured Nappa Leather choices. Select from MB Tex, Leather, and Nappa Leather in a range of finishes: Black, Tonka Brown, Macchiato Beige, and Power Red.
The 2026 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet carries forward a storied tradition of Mercedes-Benz open-top excellence, reframing it for a new generation with contemporary powertrains and intelligent mild-hybrid technology built for the modern road.
Built to extend your field of awareness, the CLE Cabriolet offers an available surround view camera that delivers a full, uninterrupted 360° view and a seamlessly integrated rearview camera that emerges with quiet precision exactly when the situation demands it.
With passenger comfort as its foremost priority, the 2026 CLE Cabriolet's suspension has been expertly calibrated to soak up road surface variations and deliver the kind of smooth, unhurried, and pleasingly plush driving character that makes every journey feel effortless.
The CLE Cabriolet is equipped with a highly responsive electromechanical steering system that seamlessly transitions between driving scenarios — providing easy, light handling through city traffic and delivering a more composed, reassuring weight at open-road speeds.
