The CLS 4 Door Coupe is without a doubt one of its most appealing design. Certainly more so than the conventionally shaped E-Class with which it shares a platform. However, that's of little consolation to the people who actually have to sit in the back seats. They complain about the compromised headroom and oddly-shaped door openings that make getting in and out a chore. The back seat are great for the average height person and kids! How many people are going to sit in the back any ways right?
The inside is immaculate and where you'll find a gorgeous layout trimmed napa leather and open pore wood trim. There isn't a cheap looking or feeling surface to be found, with even the door panel pockets lined with fabric. Deep bolstering and support in all the right places are further reasons why the front seats are the best ones in this car -- and that's before you get to the heated massage functions.
Further raising the passenger coddle factor is an Energizing Comfort system that offers selectable moods that adjust things like the climate, air fragrance, lighting, music and massaging seats in an attempt to create a certain ambience. At night, the 64-color ambient lighting is quite a sight, covering a good amount of the car's interior. There are even lights inside the air vents that turn blue if you adjust the temperature to be cooler, changing to red if you crank up the heat.
The most impressive bit of CLS technology is the mild hybrid drivetrain. It starts with a new, 3.0-liter, inline six-cylinder engine that makes 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Add to that there's a 48-volt alternator and electric motor that provides an additional 21 horsepower and 184 pound-feet, to help get the car moving off the line and power accessories when stopped. Combined with a nine-speed automatic transmission, this combination gets the CLS450 0-60 in just 5 Seconds. The package seamlessly integrates electric propulsion for linear power delivery as the gearbox rips off well-timed and imperceptible shifts.

I love my CLS 450. If you dont like my back seats theres always Uber. I never bought it to sit in the back anyway.

Thank you for a fantastic informative voyage !

Thank you for watching Chic!

i have had the 2018 e400 and just got the 2019 cls 450. the cls is definitely the better car overall but it still boils down to preference just because you can get all the same stuff in both. the e class feels bigger and allows the driver to sit even lower, also feels more isolated from the road. But the CLS 450 feels like another level above and is way more attractive exterior wise. The drive is also more connecting to the road than the e class but still maintains the floatiness even with 20" wheels. They are both truly dramatic driving experiences

[@ingodieterviehweger2762]

Amazing Mercedes CLS 450, great review!

[@RANDsreviews]

Thank you!

[@victoraguirre1083]

Awesome Vid!!! Please do more like these!!

[@RANDsreviews]

Thank you Victor! Much appreciated. I’m working on doing more car reviews this year. I’ll be getting the 2020 C8 mid engine corvette in 2 months to review from my new partnership with Connell Chevy. Stay tuned!!!!

[@victoraguirre1083]

RAN D can’t wait, I’m looking forward to that one for sure, this year the vette looks like a beast.

[@ms3173]

I see what Mercedes is doing they have a full range of cars unlike all other manufacturers that give you less choices. The CLS and CLA are stylish, pillarless four-door coupe’s, while the A class C class and S class are traditional sedans of different sizes. Also there is a full range of convertibles that are also different sizes and a full range of crossovers along with high end sports cars. Gotta love Mercedes Benz!

[@keithrivers2861]

Great Review!!! I have a 2012 CLS550. Thinking about upgrading now!

[@RANDsreviews]

Keith Rivers Thank you! Its one of my favorite sedans especially with the new hybrid turbo system. Hope you get one!

[@bradleyscarreviews]

Did you?!!!

[@cloudniner4lifex]

I’m thinking of getting this car when my E class lease is up. Just debating if it’s worth not getting the E450 over the CLS though.

[@electropalsceo]

I love this car

Nothing beats the W222.

Beautiful car and good review.

Thank you

One of my favorites!

[@sospeterngarega7144]

Always a CLS fun🔥🔥🔥

[@craigweeke7905]

I would like to see a comparison between the Mercedes Benz 2021 CLS 450 and the 2021 CLS AMG 53, both the exterior and the interior. Especially, any differences on the exterior.

[@RANDsreviews]

Hi Craig. Just saw your message. AMG CLS 53s are hard to find. Love to review one. I’ll review one as soon as I find one in inventory.

[@vladimirvladimirov8313]

I have cls 257... fantastic car)

[@acegonzalez6616]

Super super cool wow

[@JayeBass]

Might be better then E class I've never rode in a cls, but its not better than S class. But it is still a DOPE car and is a great buy!

[@postimusramogayana2808]

So true, rhe S class is at another level.

[@johnmccain7148]

!!Awesome !!

John McCain Thank you for watching my car review

[@LeonFrCompton]

I have those headlight but noticed other have different ones. What’s the big difference? Year or are there different headlight options?

[@RANDsreviews]

I’m not quite sure. Maybe adaptive headlights are different since there’s movement with the lens. I don’t think this had it. A lot of new models of Mercedes-Benz have it now.

[@LeonFrCompton]

I have the 2019 cls450 amg package with those exact headlights. Are they the older model lights? I guess that’s what I’m trying to figure out.

[@antonioferrao4047]

The other head lights are high beam led and they are larger, while yours are only led head lights.

[@LeonFrCompton]

@@antonioferrao4047 thank u!

[@504Trader]

Would u get the CLS 450 or a Charger SRT hard choices

[@travisbruce5096]

Depends on ya style of driving. Won't b mad either way. Get the srt then get the cls to appreciate it but this is the cls last year of production

[@seebeyond2023]

Bad Azz Sedan!!! Thanks for the review!

[@imacx3230]

Beautiful!!! Thanks

[@RANDsreviews]

thanks for watching IMacx!

[@IdeaMusicKen]

So they sell the 2022 CLS in AMG version in USA?

[@RANDsreviews]

Yes a CLS 53. It’s an inline turbo 6 cylinder engine with an electric ⚡️ motor.

[@travisbruce5096]

Not in 2023 tho, just cls 450 4matic

[@Duke-ih8mo]

Seems like a v8 till a v8 pull up next to you I'm pissed that mercedes didn't put the tt v8 in this

[@chicmod8727]

All turbo as well. Far as I can see, nothing is naturally aspirated

[@thenobelswipegoatnobleswip771]

E35o 2014 to 19 sport headlights is way more dope

[@timothyabraham6195]

I got ro get one of these

[@craigweeke7905]

Timothy Abraham so, what do you think? Should you have purchased the AMG 53 or the CLS 450?

[@1q2w3e4r5t6zism]

The main reason why the CLS 450 is better than the E450 is simply due to the engine: the CLS has the new R6, while the E-Class has the age-old V6 with much higher consumption.

[@RANDsreviews]

My Name you hit it on the head! I love the new engine configuration but more than anything I love the looks. A lot of people don’t but I do. LOL

[@symphantic4552]

that car is a total babe

[@ninobrown175]

You forgot to show the foot swipe for trunk..

[@RANDsreviews]

Didn’t know it had that feature. Thanks for the tip!

[@constancelivingston2711]

I want one 😊

Me too! It was one of my favorite cars. Now it’s the AMG SL 63.

[@zbabyg6998]

6 ft and don't fit in most backseats? My friend is 6'11 and he sat in the back of my honda civic 😂

[@AlanAndalon]

Great review video, but would be better without the background music. It’s so distracting

[@2Greenlid]

Why the music when talking?

[@halhansen778]

Best looking. BUT not as smooth as E and S. It is the best looking!

[@ThatGuy-kv1kw]

But the CLS's structure feels flimsy. Hit even the smallest road divot and a shudder rolls through the car that all the occupants hear and that the driver feels in the steering column." says car and driver

[@antonioferrao4047]

That´s because the run flat tyres with the iron profile in these type of tires

[@zx10rpower17]

I like how Benz stole Mazda’s front end design/lines. Mazda has come a LONG way to where these luxury brand automobiles are copying their cars.

[@RANDsreviews]

All cars are starting to look alike. Have you seen the upcoming Civic? Haha!

[@zx10rpower17]

@@RANDsreviews just went and checked out the civic. That’s a crazy looking civic!!! Totally different......WOW. Btw, awesome job on the videos. I like the smooth transitions.

[@dirtyminerapparel]

Everything is awesome except the new ugly PlayStation steering wheel controls. It’s almost identical to my E300. I have the massaging sport seats too and it’s not that awesome. It needs to do deeper massage.

This car is more about style

[@softroseforyou7457]

@@carguyns4348 No it doesn't. This is a mid size car and the S class is the large car. Also the S class has the better interior. Check it out at the Mercedes dealer.

[@beslemeto]

It is not better than E Class for back passengers!!!

[@davidjones7513]

Better then S class? Don't get me wrong it's a nice looking ride but S class has always been the top Mercedes, in terms of status ultimate luxury and comfort the S class is what you would find a Ceo or successful buisness owner driving.

[@davidjones7513]

@Joe R Yup truth.

[@realkingrav2265]

David Jones Is it better than E class?

[@davidjones7513]

@@realkingrav2265 I believe so a mixture of sport and luxury although it borrows features from the E class.

[@austinvee6601]

It's a tarted up E-class. If you look beyond fascia it's basically an E-class, it's a sexy ride though!

[@mathews6036]

I walked the shit out of one of these in my evo x last night. 75k to look at 20k tail lights 🤣🤣

[@flowfiya4501]

I can't stand lames that think speed = price. No one wants your corny evo over a new cls. No one is looking to "race to see who is faster"...we are grown ass men just cruising in our nice cars not little kids. I would laugh if some clown tried to "race me"...i'd be like get tf out my face weirdo lmao.

Bro the cls driver was actually laughing at u not the other way around . Your evo x is fastr than a rolls phantom too who cares
