6:36 the „Mercedes“ logo is on the same Position of the widescreen in left-hand driven cars. That means you do not see it while driving. Sorry for the Right-Hand driven cars.

[@imihussain1781]

I remember when the original W219 CLS came out back in 2005 and in terms of design it was a game changer. A 4 door car which was a coupe almost and it was all about the roof line curvature. I bought one back last November CLS 320 CDI for 5k and there was a original sale invoice and it was £58,000 brand new.

[@niki7040]

CLS second generation with facelift, preferably Shooting Brake, is the one I like the most.

[@VehicleVirals]

Diesel engines are pretty much non-existent here in the US unless they're trucks

[@VehicleVirals]

George Puyol Well, this Mercedes is one good looking tractor then

[@Porsche1969]

Because the US has no fucking clue about the benefits out of such an engine in "normal cars" and not only in fucking big Pick-ups or "trucks"! A modern Euro 6d engine is tremendously clean, and in sumn it is even more economically as a fucking EV. You have really no fucking clue, when you demonize the diesel engine!

[@eggbirdtherooster]

Glad that they're back with L6 instead of V6. One of the most durable engines produced by Mercedes.

[@MrTARIQSs]

deyoviC you mean i6?

[@deyoviC]

Linear 6.

[@urboi4928]

It’s sounds shit tho. I would prefer to not wear earmuffs whenever driving

[@deyoviC]

It sounds as it should sound for a linear six engines. It's completely silent when you're driving. I have one on my w211 e class 2006 without a single major issue. Only things that need to be replaced. These can last for 1 million KM if maintained properly as it should.

[@SDav21]

5 stargaming You heard him say in the video that it was one of the quiestest and smoothest diesel when driving. And when he accelerated it sounded great. You can't judge a sound from a video because microphones pick up small nuances. In real life it is much quieter than the equivalent one from bmw and audi. Sooo.

butthead what’s new. Mercedes quality is not as good as bmw and Audi anymore.

[@tharun11]

Chatta290 I agree. recent BMWs quality is really good.

[@pb7870]

Mercedes quality is a total embarrassment for the price and they’re going downhill with every model year in terms of design. They still make good cars like the S class but most of their models look very cheap and nasty for the price - unlike Audi, BMW and Lexus.

[@tharun11]

P B true!!especially considering where lexus is going with their new models like LS500. really good quality interiors with good attention to detail. And not to forget the reliability of their cars.

[@SDav21]

butthead Complaining about a tiny piece of plastic no one touches. Wow. And also, you 2 in this comment thread are a joke. Mercedes is not the best selling luxury car maker for no reason. It is because they are consistently producing the best cars in the segment that people actually want with designs inside and out as well as quality that resonate with people. So you guys can take your jealousy and rage and go sit in your inferior Audis and BMWs please. But don't talk nonsense here.

[@independentwith1]

Arvin Peopleinlove yep, they took a dump on all theyr models

[@johnbobby6281]

Arvin Peopleinlove not at all. First cls looks hidiously outdated especially from the front and if you can't admit then you are blind and its no surprise why you would call it clumsier at that point.

[@johnbobby6281]

Vu Vuong nope it doesn't look good today which is what we are talking about. The first gen looks hideously outdated especially from the front. Well that's a horrible comparison... Obviously it set the trend because it was the first generation... It was the first cls so by definition it would send the trend. That's literally comparing apples to oranges. You can't make that comparison. .. Same reason why to many people.. No Matter how good the second third etc. Version of a movie comes out. People will always prefer the original.

[@johnbobby6281]

iaytoao well yah it looked great FOR ITS TIME for sure. But as you admitted it looks outdated as hell today. And for it to be better looking then that can't be the case.

[@rammstevie]

A bit of a rushed review? You missed a few thinks like a) rear end looks like a C-class? b) older versions were 4 seats only so this is an improvement c) road noise (ref 10:38) is due to runflat tires (I could hear it) d) steering offset is nothing compared to how far back you sit on the chassis e) idle clatter is not because its diesel but because of all the crap the engine drives f) headlights are simply awesome if you bothered to use them at night g) park pilot is fantastic cheers

[@Kwippy]

The only available, locally assembled models in my country are the 300D AMG Premium 2-litre diesel, and the AMG CLS53, The diesel has no air suspension, and cost close to double UK prices due to local excise tax. The car is much bigger than I expected, it's longer than an E class.

Nice review. Keep up the good work.

[@atom999]

Wow I'm so dissapointed. Was really looking forward to the new CLS as the gen 1 was really stylish. Not sold on the front end, the offset driving position- wtf?? lack of headroom in the back, not even for 5.11", the horribly sounding transit engine - how much nicer does an audi or bmw 6 cyl diesel sound?! Car needs 20" or bigger wheels as those look cheap.

[@Ross6041]

yeah those wheels look too small. I think Matt is really unfair when he reviews diesel engines. He always opens the bonnet(and any sound proofing), and claims the diesel is loud. The point is, when you are moving, you do not hear the diesel due to tire and wind noise, a point he made later on. Honestly, 6cyl BMW diesel does not sound any better.

[@atom999]

Ross B2 ok fair point about the sound proofing. I’m sure it’s a great engine though, can’t go wrong with 6cyl 340hp.

Stefan Ciganovic oh yah for sure. Nothing wrong with a7 interior at all... (Except the fact its touch screen... Finger print marks) .... Aside from that though its a stunning interior with a very beautiful futurisric design and business vibe to it... Looks like a concept car interior (in a good way)...
