A cross between saloon and a coupe, the Mercedes CLS has pioneered a new niche within the executive sector as a highly distinctive proposition with comfortable room for four but styling that suggests otherwise. Though extremely refined and silky smooth on the road, it also has a subtly sportier flavour than the E-Class on which it’s based.
Background
Let’s see if this is you. You’ve done pretty well in life and you’ve earned the right to a prestigious executive car. You’d rather like a Mercedes-Benz but not a dull-looking one like the guy over the road drives. If that three-pointed star could be mounted on the bonnet of something that cuts more of a dash - something a little more cutting edge - you’d be interested. And you’d be Mercedes CLS target market.
Here’s the kind of car most of us thought Mercedes would never make. An attention-grabbing, extrovert design that created its own market niche and that other, supposedly more avant garde, brands are still trying to properly emulate. It’s both a coupe and a four-door saloon at the same time, breathtakingly striking with sweeping lines, razor-edged detailing and a superb finish. At first glance, it might be Italian, it’s possibly American but it’s anything but German. This car effectively launched the ‘four-door coupe’ concept here at its launch in 2005 and now features a small but significant raft of revisions to keep things fresh.

I've had my 07 cls for a few years now, bought it cheap and spent the first 8-12 months waiting for the inevitable bank account draining failure which never came, love the car, love driving it, it has one or two issues but nothing anywhere near serious, passed it's MOT test every year since I bought it with only one advisory in that time (front offside brake line corroded) a beautiful car in my opinion, so glad I bought it and still look at it when I'm not in it.

Had mine since 2014, now up to 187k miles. Still feels and looks great.

I have been driving a 2008 320cdi CLS for 13 years. I loved my Dad's Rover SD1 too.

That’s cool! How many kilometers do you have on the CLS320? I’m thinking about buying one, 2008 model too

Nearly 120,000 miles on the clock. Still a great drive.

Loved the style back then, but then they started breaking apart. So many things to fail (which they do). I went for an E Class instead: E350, fully loaded, petrol, supersized fuel tank as an option. Happiest man on earth. W212

I've been waiting and asking for a review of this wonderful car for some time, a d i can't help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the short video. Don't get me wrong, i appreciate the fact that you guys have made it, and it's absolutely a joy to watch another one of your videos, regardless.

Not just the VW CC. The Jaguar XF was most certainly a saloon coupé hybrid, especially with its Dynamic Mode as well as the Audi A5/A7. The CLS is a beautiful car with very few peers.

I had a 2012 vw cc and this reminds me of it so much I’m getting one soon

the only thing you have to watch on these really is the 7-gtronic gearboxes ours gave up the ghost at 80,000 miles

great video, but music was creepy as hell

Rover produced a four door Coupé, the SD1, 29 years before the CLS 🤔

@user-jj1qo5vo8w 4 ай бұрын

That was a hatchback. The P5 was the 4 door coupe.

@williambelford9661 4 ай бұрын

@@user-jj1qo5vo8w a car can be both a Coupé and a have a hatchback, like the Capri, being a Coupé is determined by the roofline at the rear of the car.
