sports cars are undoubtedly the dream cars of many consumers, but they are generally expensive and not very practical. however, the 2024 mercedes-benz cle coupe launched by mercedes-benz some time ago can solve this problem very well. it not only has the handling of a sports car, but also meets the needs of commuting and comfortable riding. so how does the new car perform in terms of daily practicality? this issue of "daily practicality test report" will answer your questions.

test vehicle: 2024 mercedes-benz cle 300 4matic luxury coupe

official guide price: 552,300 yuan

1. functional configuration test

in terms of functional configuration, the evaluation car is equipped with a keyless entry function. the vehicle can be automatically unlocked by walking to the car with a remote control key or bluetooth key, which is very convenient. after multiple tests, the function is very sensitive and has not failed. the one-button start button is located on the right side of the steering wheel. the position is reasonable and the label is clear, which is very convenient for daily operation.

the trunk of the test car supports four ways of opening: external button, remote control key, internal button and induction. daily operation is simple and convenient, and the practical performance is satisfactory.

the opening switch of the engine hood is located at the lower left of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch first, then turn the lock pin inside the engine hood, and then lift the engine hood. the engine hood is supported by double hydraulic rods, which has good stability and is easy to open and close.

for consumers, the height of the door sill from the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to the actual test results, the door sill height of the evaluation vehicle is 390mm, reaching the upper level of the same level of vehicles, making it more convenient for drivers and passengers to get on and off the vehicle on a daily basis.

2. comfort configuration test

the driver and co-driver seats of the test car are both electrically adjustable and equipped with heating, ventilation and massage (optional) functions, providing a comfortable ride. in addition, the driver and co-driver seats are also equipped with 3 sets of seat memory, which is quite convenient. the layout of the function buttons of the seats is reasonable, and daily operation is relatively smooth.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and rear ends of the evaluation car's driver's seat is 290mm, which is at the upper level in the same class.

the multi-function steering wheel supports electric up and down + front and back adjustment. after actual measurement, the front and back adjustable distance of the steering wheel is 55mm, and the up and down adjustable angle is 17.4°, both of which are at the upper level of the same class.

the evaluation car adopts a 2+2 seat layout. the headrests of the two rear seats can be adjusted. at the same time, they are large in area and have good support performance, which can ensure the riding comfort of the driver and passengers.

the front center armrest is neatly shaped and of moderate size, with a soft surface and good pillow comfort. although the center armrest does not support forward and backward movement and angle adjustment, the driver can still rest his elbows on it while driving.

3. multimedia configuration test

in terms of in-car usb ports, the test car is equipped with two usb type-c ports in the front and rear rows, located in the storage slot below the front center console and below the rear air-conditioning vents. the number is very impressive, but the types of usb ports are relatively simple. unfortunately, the test car is not equipped with an onboard power supply.

in addition, we tested the voltage and current of the usb ports. the voltage and current of the front usb type-c port were 4.9v and 0.86a respectively, and the voltage and current of the rear usb type-c port were 5.09v and 0.96a respectively.

as smart car machines become more and more popular, more and more car models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed scripts to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of voice recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i'm a little cold / i'm a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driver's window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song title)

4. i want to go to beijing building

after actual testing, the intelligent voice system of the evaluation car can recognize all the above commands, and the voice recognition is accurate and the response speed is fast. in addition, the evaluation car also supports voice wake-up word-free, voice wake-up recognition by area, and voice continuous recognition.

the evaluation car is also equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging plate under the front center console, but no heat dissipation vents are provided. the location of the mobile phone wireless charging plate is well designed, and it is convenient for the driver to take the phone.

4. space configuration test

as an aspect of space testing that is closely related to consumers, we have experienced its riding space in the previous test drive article "elegant and practical test drive of the 2024 mercedes-benz cle coupe", and this time we will evaluate it from the aspects of storage space and its convenience, which are also commonly encountered in daily life.

the test of the usable space in the car only focuses on the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in the storage spaces in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 bottles of regular-sized mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

after actual testing, the evaluation car has a total of 6 storage spaces (excluding cup holders). except for sunglasses, the above-mentioned fixed items can all be placed in the storage compartments, and the position design is reasonable, making it very convenient to take items.

in terms of the trunk, the overall performance of the evaluation car is quite outstanding. not only is the floor relatively flat, but the rear seats also support proportional folding, which can further expand the storage space.

we also measured the basic values ​​of the trunk of the evaluation car. the opening length is 500mm; the opening width is 1120mm; the trunk depth is 1030mm; and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 480mm.

5. security configuration test phase

in the vehicle front and rear visibility test, all seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest position. the measured data have some deviations from normal use by the driver and are for reference only.

in the test of the front vision, we used a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the top of the pile bucket could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final measured data between the pile bucket and the front of the vehicle was 2.3m, which is in the middle and lower levels among the tested models of the same level.

in the rear vision test, the pile bucket is still fixed and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be seen. the measured distance of the rear vision is 10.2m, which is at the upper level among the tested models of the same level.

when testing the field of view of the exterior rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10 meters vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors, then start to move to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edge of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure the lateral distance. then, the angle of the field of view of the rearview mirror can be calculated by formula. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror, and vice versa.

the left and right exterior mirrors of the test vehicle both use double-curvature lenses. the measured field of view of the left exterior mirror is 28.8°, and the field of view of the right exterior mirror is 19.3°. the field of view of the left exterior mirror is at the upper level of the same level, and the field of view of the right exterior mirror is at the middle level of the same level.

during the radar test, the rear radar of the evaluation car can sense the rear object at the farthest distance of 0.9m, and the detection power of the rear radar is poor. according to the previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to the daily use habits. according to the actual test data, the farthest distance of the rear radar in the continuous beeping stage is 0.2m, which is different from the test experience value.

the front radar can sense objects in front at a maximum distance of 0.45m, and the radar detection power is low; the continuous beeping prompt distance is 0.3m, which is also different from the test experience value.

the evaluation car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, which is convenient for the driver to check the road conditions under the vehicle. the image clarity is good, the distortion control around the vehicle is also reasonable, and it is also equipped with parking assistance lines, which is quite practical.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or u-turns. at this time, the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important. knowing the road width required for the car to turn around on the spot can help you know the situation and avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the evaluation car to turn around on the spot is 9.8m, which is at the upper level among the tested models of the same level.

the handles inside the car are very necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads. after actual testing, the evaluation car was not equipped with handles above the two doors, and the convenience needs to be improved.

summarize:

from the actual evaluation, although the 2024 mercedes-benz cle is positioned as a sports car, its performance in practicality is remarkable and has a great advantage over the same level models. of course, there are some areas that need to be improved, such as a large blind spot in the front field, less storage space in the car, and no door handles. but overall, the flaws do not outweigh the merits. if you are considering buying a sports car that can also be used at home in the near future, then the 2024 mercedes-benz cle coupe is worth paying attention to.
