Mercedes CLE300 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The 2026 Mercedes CLE 300 arrives in Saudi Arabia as the brand's unified mid-size coupe, replacing the separate C-Class and E-Class coupe nameplates with a single, more refined proposition. It is aimed at buyers seeking a premium two-door with genuine long-distance comfort, advanced technology, and standard all-wheel drive. Prices in KSA start from SAR 374,796.

The CLE 300 is powered by a 2.0 L turbocharged petrol engine delivering 255 bhp, channelled through a 9-speed Automatic gearbox and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The sole listed variant in KSA is the 4MATIC trim, which comes fully equipped with Mercedes's wide-format MBUX dual-screen dashboard, 64-colour ambient lighting, and a suite of driver assistance systems. Seating is for 5 — comfortable for four adults on shorter runs, though rear headroom is tighter than in a saloon or SUV of comparable price.

Pros: the CLE 300's cabin technology is genuinely ahead of its European rivals at this price — the MBUX interface is more intuitive than BMW's iDrive or Audi's MMI, and the ambient lighting and material quality reinforce the premium positioning convincingly. Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive on the only available variant means no compromise on specification. Cons: fuel efficiency is competitive for its class, though the 2.0 L turbo petrol will cost more to run than a hybrid alternative — none of which is currently offered on the CLE nameplate. The rear seat is a genuine constraint for families; buyers needing four full-size seats on longer journeys should cross-shop the C-Class or E-Class saloon instead.

No CarSwitch market-value retention data is currently available specifically for the CLE 300 in KSA — the nameplate is newly introduced. Buyers can expect resale performance broadly in line with mid-size European premium coupes, which typically retain in the 45–55% range after five years, with condition and mileage being the primary variables.

Buyers cross-shopping the CLE 300 in KSA typically also consider the BMW 440i xDrive, Audi A5 40 TFSI, and Lexus RC 350. The Mercedes leads on cabin technology and brand prestige in the local market; the BMW 440i xDrive is the more involving drive; the Audi A5 offers a more practical rear compartment; and the Lexus RC 350 is the choice for buyers prioritising long-term ownership costs over European styling.

How much does the Mercedes CLE 300 cost in Saudi Arabia?

The 2026 list shows one entry against this model: SAR 374,796, badged 4MATIC. There is no options-led ladder to climb, so the comparison worth making is against the CLE 200 coupé below it: the 300 asks a clear premium and returns roughly a second and a half of acceleration plus a driven front axle.

Mercedes CLE 300 or Audi A5?

The CLE 300 is the better-looking car and the one with the more convincing cabin, and 4MATIC makes it the more secure of the two in heavy rain or on sand-dusted roads. The Audi A5 counters with quattro of its own and a quieter, more restrained character. The BMW 4 Series is the one to drive if the road matters more than the badge.

What does a CLE 300 cost to run in Saudi Arabia?

Slightly more than the CLE 200, and all of it predictable: an all-wheel-drive system adds a driveline to service and the extra output shortens tyre life. Juffali Automotive Company covers the model from Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam, and since the engine family is shared across the C-Class and CLE, workshop familiarity with it is high.

Does the Mercedes CLE 300 hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

It sits in line with the German premium two-door average in the Kingdom rather than above it, which is normal for a coupé — body style narrows the buyer pool at resale, whatever the badge. On an individual car, look for kerb damage to the large alloys, tyre wear across the driven front axle, and evidence of accident repair at the front end. The inspection report answers all three.
