It has bespoke 'Aircap' and 'Airscarf' features to minimise toupée ruffling and neck freezing, respectively.
Other convertible specifics include the 11.9-inch touchscreen's ability to tilt, minimising sun glare, and clever leather designed to stay cooler in the sun.
The CLE convertible keeps the coupe's 60:40 split-fold rear seats. It has a 295L boot capacity with the soft top stowed, up 50L over the old C-Class drop-top.
Standard specification includes 19-inch alloy wheels, a 17-speaker Burmester sound system, navigation, heated seats, dual-zone climate control and wireless charging.
A 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder with 48-volt mild-hybrid system develops 190kW/400Nm.
The electric ISG makes 17kW/205Nm and helps cut turbo lag and boost performance. All-wheel drive is standard, as is a nine-speed automatic.
The CLE 300 convertible is available to pre-order now with sales beginning July 17.
