The model

Read full review

Although the Mercedes CLS has four doors, you still trade practicality for style, but otherwise it offers great pace and tidy handling

The trim

See full equipment

While it may seem to have been created by a nonsense sentence generator, this is the name of the only trim level currently available on non-performance CLS’. Fortunately, it comes very well equipped with 20in alloys, LED headlights, a 360deg camera system, three-zone climate control, two 12.3in screens for both the infotainment system and digital driver display, wireless phone charging, and Burmester stereo and a head up display.

The engine

See full engine specs

The entry-level engine certainly has more than entry-level performance, and would be a fine choice for a running-cost conscious CLS buyer. If you can afford to, plump for the six-cylinder 400d for its extra refinement, stonking overtaking ability and reasonable running costs.
