Wow! This car is absolutely stunning. The front is extremely aggressive. While the rear is more conservatively elegant. Furthermore, the interior looks leagues above most of its competitors... Mercedes really offers incredibly designed and technologically advanced interiors. Great first look, Sofyan! From one car reviewer to another, keep it up!
That back will take some getting used to but i'm *loving* how the new front looks. Much 'meaner' and aggresive than the old generations. Its the best looking new gen Mercedes to date imo. I hope they give the same styling to the E and S classes but change that rear
my favorite CLS is still the first gen. Knocked my socks off back then. This one generally has the right profile, but some chunk could have been taken from the hoodline. ( I'm aware of the Euro hood-engine clearance regulations, but still, I'm entertaining the idea) Plus SHOCKED Mercedes is producing am I-6 engine.
The AMG version from this car will actually be a "real Mercedes-AMG car". Not a Mercedes-Benz car, but an own design which is based on this CLS model. Look at the AMG GT Concept from this year... Exactly that car with the AMG engines up to 612 hp. And in about one and a half year I suppose they will bring their Plugin hybrid version, with more than 800 hp in this car.
Jank, thats NOT a good thing! the "upside down" grill and the crossed eye headlights loos awful! This looks slightly better since MB can fill out the grill better with their giant emblem and chrome wings.
Yathu prem it’s Mercedes new i6 diesel, it’s 2.9L and uses nanoslide coding to reduce 50% of friction so its whisper quite and twin scroll turbo making 340hp in the European s400d
This is a proper evolution of the original. The 2nd gen was too far of a departure from what made the original work so well. Sofyan is right about the rear end though.
i'd buy this white one immediately. Absolutely gorgeous. Love the new exterior and love the interior. Now, put Tyson Hugie in there, and it will be perfect :-)
Everyone keeps saying this model looks like a mustang but if you look at these models and go back and look at the 2015 mustang when it was given a new design. It’s actually the mustang that looks like a Mercedes
Did Mercedes PR come into the comment section? All I have seen in other videos is how much people dislike the styling but here I see many that are praising.
When the.CLS first came out in about 2006, man was it a jaw dropper. Then of course BMW and especially Audi with the A7 copied CLS. The rear of this looks like the S Coupes with Kia Stinger tailights.
Is it just me or is this thing suppose to be wearing a Maserati badge? It doesn't look like it it the video but try looking at some pictures in google.
God, the trapezoid grill trend is one of the worst things to happen in styling. The headlights look more like tail lights to me. The front end looks upside down.
The first gen was the big surprise and great success to this car , after that things went downslope , the design is more conservative with every new gen and the interior is not any special compared to other merc-benz models ..
David M the interior is more e class than s class. I'll rather have the S 550 coupe or e 63 Amg to this. There's nothing unique about this car. The exterior styling like many have mentioned including the reviewer is a copy of other cars ie mustang, Kia Stinger headlights etc. There's just nothing unique about this car in a very competitive market.
finally somebody noticed this, I think the reason Audi changed the daytime running lights on the A3/S3 so soon was because they saw that the ford fusion ripped them off
Still can’t get over how good this looks
Looks good! I've always admired the CLS!
Rear looks like a storm trooper eyes, especially since the car's in white.
The CLS man...
one of the sexiest models of any signature car. I personally like the older body models though (‘07-‘09)
I want this engine in every car in the world!
Hated it yesterday. Kinda like it today. Intriguing how that happens.
Same! I think the leaked images were of poor quality.
Holy and I thought the Camaro’s windows were small...
I really dont know understand how people say that merc has luxurious interiors cant get over these two big ass fucking screens.
Secret Internet Guy you have a point put merc should of threw 1 screen with real gage clusters
A new inline-6 has been born into the world!
So glad he opend the rear, my head was going crazy on how it opened.
Gorgeous car, IMO prefer this over S class but S class coupe is a stunner too. Always had a love for the CLS range though ....
All I could see in the rear of that car was the Infiniti Q60
Another great vid. Nice job!
I love CLS designs, this is nicer still. Those seats are gorgeous
I wonder if Ray Donovan will upgrade to this vehicle?
Wow! This car is absolutely stunning. The front is extremely aggressive. While the rear is more conservatively elegant.

From one car reviewer to another, keep it up!
///AMG Spot on.
Rear looks elegant?:D The 2005's rear looks 1000x better
Have you seen previous generation CLS.... this is looks like just another Japanese car...
hoho I would say more Korean than Japanese
Looks like the new Buick Regal/Mustang. Yuk.
This is the most beautiful sedan you can buy imo.
You’re perfectly spot on regarding that mustang headlight especially from the side!
This looks amazing, the rear is okay but the front and profile are fantastic. One of the only Mercedes that I'd actually get.
You gave a great review. Very professional. I enjoyed it
Interior is so damn nice!
its not ugly, i just expected more especially since its CLS. the previous one was stunning as fuck tho
To be honest, the interior of Mercedes is 10 years ahead the other companies
You act like there is better
Nguyen Trung sticking a giant ipad to the dash...revolutionary
Nguyen Trung Maybe 10 years ahead of BMW but they’re tied with Audi imo. However Porsche is the king of exteriors and interiors, no doubt about it.
Pagani Huayra?
Look dates compare lexus
Waiting for this car for years
I really the rear, but the second you called it a sad robot I "LOL"ed and now I can't un-see it.
Storm trooper tail lights
That back will take some getting used to but i'm *loving* how the new front looks. Much 'meaner' and aggresive than the old generations. Its the best looking new gen Mercedes to date imo. I hope they give the same styling to the E and S classes but change that rear
ansaree97 rear of previous gen model
Looked better and more aggressive.
This is a sweet looking ride IMHO. The straight 6 and interior certainly make it hot.
Beautiful car, now imagine how nice the AMG version is going to be (if they make it), with better more muscular lines, grille, etc..
my favorite CLS is still the first gen.
Knocked my socks off back then. This one generally has the right profile, but some chunk could have been taken from the hoodline. ( I'm aware of the Euro hood-engine clearance regulations, but still, I'm entertaining the idea)
Plus SHOCKED Mercedes is producing am I-6 engine.
Vetro V what’s wrong the second gen? Looked aggressive
"looks like a sad robot". that comment had me LOL with tears!
'05 - '10 still my favourite
What a beauty!
Stunning interior.
Let see what the AMG version looks like
Cavad A
Really?!
Yousef Al-A'ssaf يوسف العساف not at first... probably a year or so later
The AMG version from this car will actually be a "real Mercedes-AMG car". Not a Mercedes-Benz car, but an own design which is based on this CLS model. Look at the AMG GT Concept from this year...

Yousef Al-A'ssaf يوسف العساف there will be an amg but it’s a hybrid CLS53
Still liked the old ones exterior better. But the interior was very beautiful.
M0m34sS5_bBouy 36698_xXxX09_360n05c0pE second gen u like better?
Looks really good, but wow those mirrors are thick!
hi
just wonder when could we get 2019 subaru sti first look?
Yes and I-6 engine 😁😁😁😁. Can we say smooth 😎 !!!
Loving the front, not loving the tail...something I don't say very often on fine looking vehicles.
I love the headlights, looks like a mustang.
Jank Paul not sure if that’s a good thing
Jank Paul lol. Hmmm not impressed with this cls design. Like the previous one more
Don’t ever disrespect the mustang like this ever sgain
that's the fucked up part. I am happy the first gen being the classic, still driving one.
Jank, thats NOT a good thing! the "upside down" grill and the crossed eye headlights loos awful!
This looks slightly better since MB can fill out the grill better with their giant emblem and chrome wings.
3:27 so the next C63 will have 6 cylinders???
R.I.P. the classy and gorgeous CLS, this can be the new C-class...end the CLS right there, please
Goodness, when are they going to make the 2 screens separate with thin bezels
It looks like if a mustang and a charger had a baby
Derek K I just said the same shit
Derek K Lol shit got me dying
It does.
Except the baby is high quality and pure luxuary
A straight 6 was unexpected
The e class looks better my opinion but that interior is top of the class tho.
Beautiful car
The first Mercedes lately that doesn't have gigantic bulging headlights
Ford Mustang inspired Mercedes! Now that's a trip :-)
Not polarizing at all looks great
Beautiful!
2:42 This is the m256 isnt it ???
Yathu prem yes, I wish we could get their om656 diesel, I heard it’s the most quietest diesel
DGFr0sty sorry never heard of that. Spec??
Yathu prem it’s Mercedes new i6 diesel, it’s 2.9L and uses nanoslide coding to reduce 50% of friction so its whisper quite and twin scroll turbo making 340hp in the European s400d
DGFr0sty no electric system?
DGFr0sty There's also a less powerful version, the S350d, with 286hp!
This is a proper evolution of the original. The 2nd gen was too far of a departure from what made the original work so well. Sofyan is right about the rear end though.
What's the doug score ?
Is that you Dodge Charger cls ?
The current cls450 has literally the same engine - the hybrid part
When will the 4 door amg gt coming out??
Tech Defender Likely Detroit NAIAS.
You never did a driving video on this. Why?
Nice car... wish i had one
The back looks like the Infiniti q 60 to me
i'd buy this white one immediately. Absolutely gorgeous. Love the new exterior and love the interior. Now, put Tyson Hugie in there, and it will be perfect :-)
"Sad robot" Haha, made my day!
The EQ boost system sounds like its the technology which comes from the AMG Petronas F1 car with EQ Power plus
Second generation is best for me
Great, no more highly annoying orange side markers in headligts !!!
zuti071 I thought that was legally required??
This is a demo car from Europe.. .US version would have one.. Its a legal requirement
The interior is amazing... That exterior is not good!
Dustin Morris you are 100% correct
the exterior is failed
It looks nothing like a 2019 vehicle ..
Looks like a Mustang with an MB logo
Sad robot
Everyone keeps saying this model looks like a mustang but if you look at these models and go back and look at the 2015 mustang when it was given a new design. It’s actually the mustang that looks like a Mercedes
Sad robot is spot on and funny as hell 🤣🤣
they've gone and ruined the cls with that mustang headlights and grille. Also that storm trooper rear doesn't help
they snapped
Mustang in the front, Audi in the back.
Michael Nguyen Audi a7 wouldn't exist without cls
David M
Still, Mustang in the front, Audi in the back.
Or maybe Kia in the back
new infiniti in back
David M LED headlights wouldn't exist without Audi
Did Mercedes PR come into the comment section? All I have seen in other videos is how much people dislike the styling but here I see many that are praising.
The VW CC started the coupe style trend
The rear of the old cls looked so much better it was kinda the highlight of the car =/
Terrorbrot you mean first or second gen model?
Keeping it real "The rear kind of looks like a sad robot".
When the.CLS first came out in about 2006, man was it a jaw dropper. Then of course BMW and especially Audi with the A7 copied CLS. The rear of this looks like the S Coupes with Kia Stinger tailights.
Anyone else getting Chrysler 200 vibes from the rear?
verbalelixer nope
No....
The rear needs a spoiler. That'll make the design language in the rear work.
lol at her trying to get into the car at 0:00
if the charger and mustang had a baby, this would be it.
That car is beautiful, the back side eehhhhh, but with a nice lip spoiler it'll be perfect
3:33 I like that Beautiful Lady on the back way better than that boring car !!
Mercedes did say there going away with strong character line and creases so here it is
Ascent when???
Is it just me or is this thing suppose to be wearing a Maserati badge? It doesn't look like it it the video but try looking at some pictures in google.
i love it
God, the trapezoid grill trend is one of the worst things to happen in styling. The headlights look more like tail lights to me. The front end looks upside down.
The first gen was the big surprise and great success to this car , after that things went downslope , the design is more conservative with every new gen and the interior is not any special compared to other merc-benz models ..
Looks like an Infiniti coupe in the back
To be honest, the first gen CLS looks more elegant from the back and sides.
Why doesn’t it have an moonroof
I thought it was an Acura (the new front design) at first glance.
These air vents reminds me of the vacuum cleaner
it looks weird...still prefer the old one
SC&DC Sports cars and diecast Channel second gen?
the rear is way better than the front. this interior really disappoint me, i hate this dual screens.
Felipe Mendes The interior is brought from s class, now can you be disappointed by that
David M he’s disappointed because he can not afford it. 😂😂
David M the interior is more e class than s class. I'll rather have the S 550 coupe or e 63 Amg to this. There's nothing unique about this car. The exterior styling like many have mentioned including the reviewer is a copy of other cars ie mustang, Kia Stinger headlights etc. There's just nothing unique about this car in a very competitive market.
First was the Ford Fusion, now the Mercedes CLS450
both cars have straight copied the original A3/S3 Sedan's daytime running lights.
finally somebody noticed this, I think the reason Audi changed the daytime running lights on the A3/S3 so soon was because they saw that the ford fusion ripped them off
Beautiful but as mentioned getting mustang in front and Infiniti Q50 coupe in the rear
