Over the past year, Mercedes-Benz has been diligently working on the development of the new CLE coupe. Spy shots of the upcoming model have been captured on multiple occasions. The teaser image showcases sleek and sharp LED headlights and taillights, giving the car an overall elegant appearance. Following the trend of current convertible designs, the upcoming CLE will feature a cloth roof, which reduces weight compared to a foldable hardtop. However, it is important to note that the fabric roof may compromise the structural rigidity compared to a hardtop.
