Chronology
PredecessorMercedes-Benz CLS-Class (W218)

The C257 Mercedes-Benz CLS is the third and current generation of the CLS-Class range of four-door (fastback styled) sedan, and was launched in 2018 as the successor to the W218 CLS.[2] It is only available as a sedan, with no plans to introduce a Shooting Brake variant in the near future.[3][4]

Development and launch

Information on the C257 CLS was released online on 29 November 2017,[5] with a public unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2018.[6]

The new CLS uses a four-link front suspension and a five-link rear suspension and only comes in all-wheel drive (4MATIC) configuration.[7] CLS53 4MATIC+ models utilise variable all-wheel drive, allowing for torque distribution between the front and rear axles.[8] An electric motor is used to boost power output by 16 kW (21 hp) and 249 N⋅m (184 lb⋅ft),[9] and also powers the on-board 48-volt system.[10]

The CLS is also now a five-seater car, instead of being a four-seater as with the previous two generations.[11]

Equipment

Standard equipment includes LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, ambient lighting, as well as lane keeping and speed limit assistance systems.[12] CLS models also feature 'Mercedes me' online services with a built-in LTE module in the car, enabling concierge services and remote control of the car.[13] Optional equipment includes air suspension and a widescreen cockpit consisting of two 12.3-inch displays on the dashboard.[14] An AMG line is also available and includes AMG body styling, a diamond pattern radiator grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a flat-bottomed sports steering wheel.[15]
