Mercedes-Benz India has announced the launch of its all-new CLE Cabriolet and the GLC 43 4Matic Coupe on August 8. Both cars will strengthen the company’s presence in the luxury and performance segments.

The GLC 43 Coupe is the performance-oriented version of the GLC, while the CLE Cabriolet will replace the C-class Cabriolet in Mercedes’ global line-up.

The CLE Cabriolet is being introduced in India for the first time. Currently, Mercedes-Benz has two cabriolets in its portfolio: the SL 55 and the E 53. The CLE Cabriolet will be Mercedes’ third convertible in India.

Both cars will arrive as CBUs (completely built-up units). However, the previous generation of the GLC 43 Coupe was locally assembled.

CLE Cabriolet

The CLE Cabriolet looks like its coupe sibling, featuring sleek LED headlights with a trapezoidal grille, a long bonnet and an automatic, multi-layered fabric hood.

Dimensionally, the Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet measures 4,850 mm in length, 1,861 mm in width, and 1,424 mm in height. It features a wheelbase of 2,865mm, offering more comfort to rear passengers.

The CLE Cabriolet is based on the Modular Rear Architecture (MRA) platform shared with the C-Class and upcoming E-Class.

On the inside, the CLE gets an 11.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the center, with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.

Mercedes-Benz India is yet to confirm the specific configurations and powertrains for the CLE Cabriolet.

GLC 43 Coupe

The GLC 43 features the typical AMG design elements with a unique blend of sportiness and practicality with aggressive styling and larger alloy wheels.

The new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe is now powered by a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a mild-hybrid system. It delivers 415 BHP and 500 Nm. The engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic gearbox, sending power to all four wheels. The outgoing model offered the 3.0-liter bi-turbo with a six-cylinder engine.

The GLC 43 Coupe also offers rear-wheel steering, adjustable dampers, and performance brakes as standard.

The performance-oriented SUV sprints 0-100 kph in an impressive 4.7 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 kph.
