The CLE coupe has proved a return to form for Mercedes. Can the new drop-top measure up?
There’s something refreshing about the Mercedes CLE. Rather than endlessly filling every niche by delivering two-, four- and five-door derivatives for almost every rung on the company ladder, coupe versions of the C- and E-Class have been amalgamated into one big, luxurious offering. By doing so, it’s created a coupe that no longer looks like a saloon that’s had its rear doors lopped off and its roofline sanded down.
In practice, however, it’s a lot harder to notice the difference when the cap is activated. Whether on the motorway or high up in the mountains, there simply isn’t much difference when the mode is on or off. The only discernible change I could detect was it seeming a little louder with the cap activated, while it’s a smidgen more blustery when deactivated. That’s it. On a positive note, the cabin is so well isolated from the elements that you never feel the need to switch the Air Cap on anyway.
All UK cars will get ‘Agility Control’ sports suspension, lowering the ride height by 15mm, while the optional ‘Dynamic Body Control’ on our test car actively adapts the suspension to keep the car level. However, this is still a two-tonne convertible when all is said and done, and while flicking the ‘Dynamic Select’ into its sportiest setting does help reduce lean somewhat it hardly transforms the CLE into a corner-hungry sports GT.
