What alternatives should I consider to a used Mercedes CLS estate?

The CLS Shooting Brake is pretty unique in the class of swoopy estates, but the Jaguar XF Sportbrake is perhaps a close second in terms of style. The boot in the XF is a little bit smaller, but you will be able to pick a Jaguar up for less money than a Mercedes.

If practicality is what you’re after but still want a Mercedes, try an E-Class Estate. It won’t look as cool, perhaps, but it is much more practical because of its boxy shape.

Verdict

It doesn’t have the engaging handling you might have hoped for given the athletic look of the exterior, but the CLS Shooting Brake is still a fine grand tourer with a high-quality interior

  • Comfortable ride on standard suspension
  • Punchy engines
  • Larger boot than rivals
  • Tight rear head room
  • Restricted boot opening
  • Not that engaging to drive
