2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet in Scottsdale, AZ

Key Features of the 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLE Cabriolet 

Open-Air Comfort Built for Scottsdale: Scottsdale's climate makes the CLE Cabriolet's AIRCAP® draft stop system — which deploys automatically from the windscreen header to redirect airflow above occupants' heads — a practical feature rather than a marketing detail. Available AIRSCARF® neck heating vents built into the front seat headrests extend comfortable top-down driving into the cooler months between October and March, which in Scottsdale represents some of the most enjoyable driving weather anywhere in the country. Acoustic insulation in the soft top maintains an impressively quiet cabin environment at highway speeds with the roof raised, so the CLE Cabriolet functions as a composed closed car as naturally as it does an open one. 

Interior Luxury and Advanced Technology: Inside, the CLE Cabriolet carries the same MBUX superscreen layout available in the CLE Coupe — a panoramic curved display integrating the 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a central touchscreen into a unified glass surface that dominates the dashboard with architectural intention. Natural language voice control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and over-the-air update capability ensure the technology remains current throughout the ownership period. Available Burmester® surround sound delivers audio quality that holds up respectably even with the top lowered at moderate speeds — a detail that matters more than it might initially seem on longer top-down drives through the Arizona landscape. 

Performance for Arizona Roads: CLE 450 4MATIC® Cabriolet draws power from a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six producing 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, with EQ Boost mild-hybrid assistance adding 20 horsepower during acceleration through a belt-integrated starter-generator. That output drives the Cabriolet from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.6 seconds — brisk enough to make desert highway on-ramps genuinely engaging without demanding constant driver attention to manage. A 9-speed automatic transmission manages gear selection smoothly across varied driving conditions, from Scottsdale surface streets to extended highway stretches toward Sedona or the White Mountains. 

Safety and Driver Assistance: Active Brake Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, and PRE-SAFE® occupant protection come standard across CLE Cabriolet configurations — covering the most consequential safety scenarios without requiring optional package selection. Available Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC handles speed and following distance management in highway traffic, which reduces driver fatigue meaningfully on longer Arizona interstate drives. PRE-SAFE® PLUS adds rear-end collision protection by detecting an imminent impact from behind and preparing the cabin to reduce occupant injury risk in the fraction of a second before contact.
