Performance Specifications of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC® Coupe

How Does the 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 4MATIC® Coupe Perform?

A 2-liter inline-4 turbo engine paired with mild hybrid tech is at the heart of this coupe’s punchy performance. With 255 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque, this setup isn’t just about numbers—it’s about reaction time and control. Whether darting into highway traffic or climbing steep grades around northern Arizona, the extra 23 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque from the 48V Integrated Starter-Generator give the car extra push exactly when needed. It also allows fuel-free coasting and can recharge energy during deceleration, enhancing overall efficiency. Technologies like CAMTRONIC valve lift and friction-reducing NANOSLIDE cylinder walls help maximize power without wasting fuel, contributing to city fuel economy of 24 mpg and an impressive 33 mpg on the highway. 

Shifting duties fall to the 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission. With close gear spacing and paddle shifters on the steering wheel, this gearbox responds quickly and smartly to different driving styles. When dialed into Sport mode, it holds gears longer for sharper throttle response. Switch to ECO mode, and it focuses on efficiency—especially handy for longer commutes or open-road trips. The DYNAMIC SELECT system even allows the driver to personalize everything from steering to shift points in "Individual" mode. And with the coupe reaching 0-60 mph in just 6.2 seconds, it’s more than ready to liven up every green light. 

Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system keeps all that power in check. Rain, light snow, or desert roads—it adapts quickly, sending torque to the wheels with the best grip. Paired with 4-ETS® traction control, torque vectoring brakes, and electromechanical steering, this coupe carves corners with precision. And thanks to its lightweight, forged aluminum suspension and adaptive damping system, it stays firm and responsive during spirited drives, while softening just enough on everyday roads to keep things composed.
