Second Hand Mercedes-Benz CLE Bonnet Latch

Yes, the CLE has a conventional front-hinged bonnet with a bonnet latch and release mechanism, so this is a genuine part for the model. The CLE (C236 coupe, A236 cabriolet) launched in 2023 as a replacement for both the C-Class and E-Class coupe and cabriolet lines, and all variants across all engine options share the same front-end structure including the bonnet latch assembly.

Yes — the bonnet latch is part of the front-end structure and is not engine-specific, so it does not matter whether your CLE has a four-cylinder petrol, diesel, or a 53 or 63 AMG engine. Any genuine CLE bonnet latch from the same generation should physically correspond, though you should always confirm the part number with the breaker against your registration to be sure.

Trim level does not affect bonnet latch fitment on the CLE — the latch mechanism itself is the same regardless of whether the car is a standard spec, AMG Line, or full AMG variant. Bear in mind that AMG and AMG Line models may have different bonnet styling or vents cosmetically, so confirm with the breaker that the bonnet panel itself matches if you are buying a latch still attached to a bonnet.

The CLE Coupe (C236) and CLE Cabriolet (A236) share the same front-end platform and bonnet structure, so the bonnet latch is expected to be common across both body styles. It is always worth confirming the part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing, but body style alone should not be a barrier here.

The CLE launched in 2023 and as of 2025 has not received a facelift, so there is currently only one generation of CLE to consider when sourcing a bonnet latch. If a facelift does arrive in future, the front-end — and potentially the latch — could change, so always confirm with the breaker using your registration if you are searching after that point.

Both 2023 and 2024 CLEs belong to the same first-generation C236/A236 platform with no facelift in between, so a bonnet latch from a 2023 car is expected to correspond to a 2024 car. Always ask the breaker to check the part number against your registration to confirm before buying.
