Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz CLE is the C236-generation compact executive coupe, a four-seat two-door for buyers who want a more personal Mercedes-Benz than a sedan or SUV. Launched in Malaysia in 2024, the regular CLE range starts and ends with the CLE300 AMG Line at RM 518,888.

CLE in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the regular Mercedes-Benz CLE carries on unchanged in Malaysia with the single CLE300 AMG Line variant. The wider CLE family has been active: the Mercedes-AMG CLE53 4Matic+ Coupe reached Malaysia in 2025, while a more extreme AMG CLE variant is undergoing testing in 2026, with V8-powered Black Series speculation. None of that changes the listed CLE300 AMG Line range.

Verdict

The CLE300 AMG Line is a niche Mercedes-Benz coupe rather than a family-first choice. It costs far less than the listed Mercedes-AMG CLE and BMW M4 Coupe, but those sit in a higher-performance space. For the regular CLE, the appeal is clear: two-door styling, four-seat packaging and a petrol-hybrid drivetrain. But the local range is narrow, with just one variant.
