Mercedes-Benz CLS
The Mercedes-Benz CLS is a four-door coupe from the German car manufacturer Daimler AG .
The first generation (internal designation C 219 ), which was produced between October 2004 and July 2010, was designed in 2001 by the American automobile designer Michael Fink. He also created the first CLK , the C sports coupé and the Maybach 57 and 62 models . According to the Mercedes-Benz press department, the CLS was produced as a combination of the “strong soulful charisma” of a coupé and the “comfort and practicality” of a sedan.
The second generation came on the market at the end of January 2011 . In addition, a five-door Shooting Brake (X 218) was available from autumn 2012 to the beginning of 2018 , which, like the first generation of the CLS, was to establish a new class as a station wagon coupé .
In 2017, the third generation of the CLS, the C 257, was introduced and has been available since 2018.
C 219 (2004-2010)
Series 218 (2011-2018)
C 257 (since 2018)
