The original four-door coupe is back for more. This time it packs straight-six turbo power and loads of luxury. Find us on your TV @ www.motorweek.o...
I remember when i had this car in the garage i worked at in July 2018. this car wasn't even fully released yet but it had a damaged front bumper from delivery or something and so Mercedes sent us the Cls 450 to repair and repaint it. It was like a dark wine red/purple colour. I got to drive it back to the Mercedes dealership and boy did i get attention. People had no idea what Mercedes i was driving. It was sure pretty damn quick. The 6 cylinder sound comes mostly from the engine then behind. It's luxurious which is standard for Mercedes ofcourse. I think the Cls 53 would be an ultimate car.
The roof line is to much curving, if they put it would not be able to open like a lot of panoramic that roofs curv to much. Plus sunroof is good enough especially if you have speakers in the roof like mine
I was excited for MB to be bringing back in I6 motor but of course they had to go and over engineer the hell out of it. Being a mild hybrid with an alternator/starter combo just seems like breakdown central. Of course time will tell but at the very least powertrain reliability should be paramount.
I always have my dog with me, and when going shopping, leave dog in rear seat of car with window partially open and car locked. Am finding that soon the alarm does off. Cannot figure why this happens and how to correct it. If anyone has a solution, would be grateful to hear it.
It's okay, but not the best in the segment. It pisses me off that such famous brands can be fucking lazy, yet new brands from once cheap makers are now at the forefront of everything like Hyundai/Genesis.
I was kinda thinking it already looks dated now...I don't like glossy screens, it looks visibly pixelated in the gauge faces, and the two rectangular screens cut out of the black background lacks any design flair. Give me real gauges any day of the week please; if you want to incorporate screens, look at Porsche's approach.
Ehh, it depends. But I have a 2007 S550 Benz and it has a mostly digital instrument cluster (8” screen with speedo, night vision, and all multifunction features in it) and it doesn’t look outdated at all. In fact it’s actually really crisp and it takes people a while in the car to realize the whole speedometer is digital, not just the inside. The key to keeping is not looking outdated is the 30+ FPS and the analog basic look. Mercedes seems to do the best digital instrument cluster imo, Audi second.
Whether it looks dated or not, they will surely break, and when they do, it's going to be mega-expensive to replace, and probably expensive to source if any of these cars become truly old.
Naren V now that I do agree with. I’d rather have traditional dials (you can get them on this car, the digital ones are an $850 option). I hate the digital dials trend and most manufacturer’s versions are very annoying. But MB seems to do a good job and I really like mine. I’ve driven Cadillac’s with their new digital dash and there’s just too much going on at once. Audi’s is great, just don’t like the design as much. But all of them will be more unreliable than physical dials. I loved the 90’s Lexus electro luminescent gauges and the MB / Audi gauges from the 90’s to 2000’s. So much classier and mor unique than digital dials.
My uncle got one of this for Christmas and all of y’all are absolutely writing this car off half of y’all have never seen one of this in irl and will probably never sit inside one either this car is absolutely gorgeous all the hate comments are bs from people who can’t even afford it
Really ugly and lacks the sense of occasion the prior gen had. It has an ugly A class front with a frumpy Chrysler 200s rear end. They got this so wrong. Shame
😂😂 that Japanese piece of crap. Quality things cost money in life buddy. That new kia is literally garbage compared to my 20 year old Mercedes’ Benz C280. MSRP on my 1999 C280 is $36k. Way more then kias line up at the moment
First Gen W219 CLS is still the best... this thing looks like shit from every angle outside... and now they’re not even going to make a full AMG version of it... Probably trying to slowly kill it just like the SL to replace it with the AMG GT in the future. Shame.
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
The CLS has gotten uglier with every generation, but this one is an improvement over the last. But it's still fairly boring. The first gen looks the most striking, even today.
