When are you guys going to review the new mb e53 amg?
Mercedes needs to update their website. The cars are already at dealers but you can’t even design one on the website.
And it's annoying the shit out of me
And it's annoying the shit out of me
Yeah idk what it is up with that. They finally added the new e class the other day.
They really have one the worst websites in the industry 😂
I was at the dealership and they can build it with you at the dealership but you can’t on the website because they want you to come in and see them 🤦🏽♀️
Whoever say bad things about Mercedes is because they never had Mercedes or bought a Mercedes which neglected by previous owners , unreal world people who drive Mercedes will alway stick with it and wouldn’t drive any other car generally !!!
Check put Mark at Exoticcarplayplace, he has owned several Mercedes including the outgoing C Class Coupe. He has made several videos on it's poor reliability and quality.
Well no. I've been driving Mercedes for the last 20 years. Their new cars are not up to the same standard. The best C Class I've had was a W203 2005 C Class. A C220 CDI. It was bank vault solid. Aged extremely well and after putting 380,000 kms on, was still rattle free and solid. The new C Class on the other hand is awful in terms of build and material quality. A huge step down. My dad still drive the C220 cdi from 2005. My sister recently got taken home in a the new C Class when she took an Uber. It was a brand new one. And the first thing she said was how plasticky it feels and that the old C Classes felt more luxurious purely because they used better materials and it felt way more solid than the new one. I wanted to trade in my 2014 E350 for the W213 E Class and it was a huge disappointment I ended up keeping my W212. I couldn't believe how frail it felt. Less solid. And much lower build quality. So actually, I would drive something else because they don't feel like they used. I'm just disappointed.
@SDav21 Hey, thanks so much for your input. I have heard similar things from other lat model Mercedes owners on UA-cam
@@SDav21 I am in a 2018 GLC and it's phenomenal, no rattles and feels solid with 83k miles. Had it about two years, very reliable.
I bought an old E350 4Matic. I have decided after driving it for 5 years that I will likely stick with the Mercedes brand when I buy a new vehicle.
Fantastic review! This is definitely way more practical that I was expecting
Thank you Car Confessions!
Fabulous video of the all new Mercedes Benz CLE!!! Great job guys!!!
Thanks as always!
this should not be a replacement for the E-class coupe as it just looks like an enlarged C-coupe…
C class coupe, E class $$$
It‘s actually c coupe priced (bit more expensive than current c class, much less expensive than e class). It‘s a c coupe in e class size but for c coupe money
*CLK
@@night5091 its closer in price to the old c class though
Thats what the e class coupe has been for the last few years. the w212 e class coupe was nice and an upgrade from the C class but for the last few years they have been just a bigger C class coupe. honestly the E class coupe should have never existed. glad they got rid of it.
I have a 2015 S550 Coupe it's amazingly comfortable and quiet.
Looks great!
The only way i described this car was “sexy”. I mean it is exquisitely designed inside and out. Considering coupes are becoming such a rarity in favor of crossovers and suv’s, seeing one of these is a refreshing feeling. It has such an elegant look that separates itself from the other Mercedes models. And despite it being a coupe i was shocked to see that Mason could fit in the back being 5’9.
Yes, it’s sexy. Especially in Graphite Grey Magno ! Thanks, gentlemen for showing us this sexy Mercedes 😉
I'm surprised Mercedes released this. On paper, it looks really nice. However, the previous generation S-Class coupe was absolutely beautiful.
the s63?
Can't wait to drive it!
I really really really love it, it’s very nice and luxury! I love all Mercedes best car company!
very nice website for new car shopping. No need to sample car audio, we can't really hear the sound stage through local speakers.
OMG!!! This is my only new Mercedes to buy.
Stop lying...again.
@@ivanlowjonesShut up nobody asked you
That enhanced exhaust feature caught me so off guard and it sounds so good 😂. Do u really need the 53 when u have that sound just for you?
I need this. All the Kids are Grown and living there own lives 😂... Just Me and my Lady... this Absolutely works for Me 😁
you guys should review the audi a4 allroad!
I love how you have power seats but manual seatback if you want to get into the 2nd row. Genius.
Too much “C” , no enough “E”…….
At least the price is C too
@@timonxDlolwhere? In my market it costs the same as an E.
@@SDav21 absolutely everywhere. Look at options. The cle comes with more base options. Once you put the same things in the E it will be more expensive
@@timonxDlol Not true. A base CLE costs the same as a base E in my region.
@@SDav21 yes but base CLE has muuuch more features which cost extra in the E. Configure them equally and the CLE is much cheaper
Beautiful car. As always from Mercedes. BUT, remember, Mercedes is historically near the bottom of every reliability list. So, if you value money in general, be extremely cautious when considering a M-B.
You must be in Lexington! James Motor Company is my preferred dealer. They’re awesome!
We are and we agree that they are great!
A good review guys. One thing, I see that A3 scored 55,7dB, the CLE 450 - 57,2, how is it possbile that A3, a class lower car is quieter?
Winter tires are much louder than summer tires
If it's any good, I'll get it in 3 years for 30k
The current E-Class rear seat is tight. I mostly only use mine for my pre-teens and shopping bags. I can’t imagine putting someone taller than 5’10 back there. I really wish Mercedes releases a larger, more roomy model.
It's like what they did years ago when they made the CLK it was a c class and a e-class.
yep thats exactly what it is and i prefer it that way. E class should be sedan and wagon only
I have a 2010 e350 with 150 k miles …… over all that time just battery and water pump…. This cle will be in addition to my old friend….!!!!😎
We want new S coupe
lack of seat ventilation is insulting
Not as much as the price
It is available as option. I ordered it on mine
Should just be the new C-class coupe update, but they should not have discontinued the e class coupe as it was much more luxurious inside and had the cool factor of no B pillar. Nothing about this reminds me of the E-class at all.
It feels more like they just eliminated the e-class coupe, updated the C-class coupe and then renamed it in an attempt to charge e-class pricing for a c-class product. Sad.
@@hifijunkieTX yeah
@@hifijunkieTXbut it is priced like a c class
@@timonxDlolno, not really. The CLE is about $8k more expensive at base than the outgoing C-coupe, and the V-6 model lands at $67k, which is roughly equivalent to the outgoing e450 v6 coupe. They effectively increased the price of the c-coupe while eliminating the e coupe experience (since that offered more luxury, no b-pillar, etc). It's mostly a marketing spin on eliminating the e-coupe while increasing the c-class pricing pretty dramatically.
@@hifijunkieTX you cannot compare it to the 2022 c coupe ofc there was everything cheaper. Compare it to todays c and e class and adjusted for extras the CLE is 1.5k more expensive than a c class and 8k cheaper than the e class.
As a real E class coupe owner this doesn’t interest me at all…C class coupe for E class money 😢
It‘s actually priced like the c class and much cheaper than the current e class
There’s no way anyone would buy this new. It screams lease. Wait one year and it’ll depreciate to a price it’s actually worth. Definitely looking forward to getting one certified.
Is it more close to the c class or e class?
C class and has cheap interior like the C class. E and S class coupe are gone. This is smaller than my E53 amg coupe from 2022 and worse in every parameter but price is a bit lower.
@@shekondogyou can get real leather as an option and has the same infotainment system as the S class. Its 191 inches long and very close if not same with as the e class.
@@Troy-fv9uq Are you owner of a E53 amg or e class coupe? I have e53 amg coupe and new CLE is sub standard - both inside and outside. Compare and then see
To expensive
Why no ambient lighting inside?
It has 64 colors
did you even watch the video..
Drove a CLE300, felt less sporty than the old C-Coupé and no Sport+ mode (just sport) I hope the 53 and 63 remedy all of that
53 is gonna be insane.
Love the car it's great🔥 but because of the exhaust I'm ah PASS..💸
Great car if you lease it. Make sure to get rid of it before 80k. MBZ followed American auto makers’ idea that you have to make cars that fall apart. Because the BIG money is in OEM parts and repair!
Is the ride better, worse, or equal to the previous E-Class coupe?
Unfortunately, we do not have any experience with the previous E Coupe
Worse. This comes with either sport suspension or dynamic body control suspension. Both are sportier and harder than the e coupe base suspension
The exterior look dated already
It already looks outdated and very heavy, now I appreciate prelift C207 even more. Interior is nice though.
The rear part need shape. Looks too smashed lol, but great review!
Thanks!
I have a feeling this gen of Mercedes will not age well. a couple of cheap tablets glued on, tacky looking vents. the fit and finish just doesn't scream luxury
To be fair the previous Gen wasn’t significantly different. I think 2 generations ago Mercedes had the highest quality interior although it looked very dated
Ok boomer
@@georgejungle138 Ok toddler
No worry. You will always find people willing to lick the tailpipes of any new Mercedes.
@@leonchen89 says the Mercedes profile pic
2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE450 4MATIC AMG Line Coupe!
I don’t know why but this interior just doesn’t look special to me anymore. The seats do look beautiful in that nice color, but the overall dashboard design just doesnt look that special anymore.
That B pillar needs to go away, they tried to camouflage it in the outside, what a miss.
not a sports car, sound level seems a bit high
Nice, Would have been better as a "hardtop", like the S coupe (no B pillar) or those ugly bumperettes.
It will be reliable for 52 weeks.
Aucuncs efforts de la part des désigners Mercedes ils auraient dû choisir Pininfarina pour le nouveau coupé
The interior is more C than E. And if it's built as poorly as the new C using just as poor materials then this is a miss. I've been so loyal to the brand but their new cars just disappoint me.
It's when you see interiors of New Nautilus, Genesis G70 etc. that makes you wonder, what Mercs interior designers were thinking while finalizing this glued on tablet design...😤
These glued on screens look terribly ridiculous. Wtf.
With the C and E class coupes, not sure why this car even exists
This replaced the C and E class coupes, which have gone out of production in the US
C Class + E Class = CLE
GLC + GLE = GLCE
C Class + E Class + S Class = CLES
GLC + GLE + GLS = GLCES
Love that Mercedes name.
As a previous MB owner, let me enlighten you: 1- first you will be fooled into buying this just because of the name and fancy gimmicks. 2- in the first 6 months, you will regret your decision like hell for sensors going off for no reason and mechanical and electronic failures. - 3- all what I said that provoked your wrath probably can be proven by Consumer Reports 2023 reliability rating in which the venerable MB stood in the 29th place out of 30 brands. good luck
Do you know why they ranked them so low?
@@MercOne poor reliability (although same as with bmw), overpriced. You should take this list with a grain of salt as bmw is ranked #1 but on reality is as bad as mercedes
@@n3on440 No I’m asking what specifically makes them unreliable?
That’s why you can fall back on the warranty, I’ve owned an AMG and only had one issue in 3 years and they found the fault updated the software and all was good, all cars have problems and the more tech they have the more issues you’ll likely get, BMW for instance aren’t called BM trouble you for no reason.
Go buy a Bugatti if you want less issues but at Bugatti money.
This car is ok but I like my Bimmers and Benzs to be bigger. That interior could also use some work cause it be looking old. But if my boo got this for me I wouldn’t be mad but he best know I still want more boo boo!!!!
Oh look a c class
The e 53 amg coupe will forever be better than this
Mercedes SUCKS! Stick with BMW, Audi, or Porsche. Mercedes build quality is wayyy worse than it was 15+ years ago, not to mention the styling and pricing is insane!
you sound poor!😘
@@osmanmizah7772 Ha! Willing to bet I’m richer than you. I drive a BMW X5 M Competition, and a Porsche 911 4S Cabriolet.
Besides pricing is bmw any better? It is the same trash man just get over it
$70K with the poor MB build quality? Hard pass.
Looks like a $55k car
Because it has mercedes badge they charge more
It's wayyyyy too big.
The rear is ugly
The Lexus LC is a superior value
Mercedes has the tackiest interiors. All hollow, creaky plastic. Those displays look like off brand android tablets from 2017. I mean look at those 1 inch bezels on those things. Just so gross.
Do not like!
This looks cheap
As a 2022 E53 amg coupe owner - this is HORRIBLE. They discontinued the E and S coupe and gave us this soft looking woke turd. Let me park my Arabian grey E53 amg coupe next to this and tell me how bad new CLE is. Do not buy this crap please. MB is fooling us. I would rather get S5 or 4 series 6 cylinder coupe. Better power & performance at same price.
I would've got the amg e53, but the LACK of colorful interiors was a turn off. It was the one parameter that led to me getting the e450 instead. All brown, peanut butter interior, e450. It was between that or the all white interior, but I figured the peanut butter coupe would be easier to keep clean. I was so disappointed the e53 only had black OR black+limited color. They would've sold more e53 if they allowed colorful interiors!
