Looks so much better than it's predecessor from every anglers and inches! What a beauty and also more luxurious and technologies ! A worthy successor for sure:)
what really humours me is some of the people on here who are comparing the mercedes the audi and bmw etc dont even own one themselves so how can they know which is best to drive we have 2 mercedes and a 1 bmw and as far as driving goes i happen to prefer the cls we have the 350 petrol 7 speed model and we love it bmw is also nice to drive but the mercedes is more eyecatching
So true a fellow cls owner :) my previous rides were a bmw 3 series and 5 both current models and i can say the cls is much better than both of them im loving it :D greetings mate !
because the middle seat is usually useless because of the transmission tunnel, or even because of the size of the passengers to the left and right. its more practical (in a way) to have two seats in the back like this CLS.

@@successfulee6131 Awesome ma man ... I am also eyeing the 2021 CLS so perhaps a bit of wait is worth it ... dammmmn that interior has made me fall in love with cars all over again lol
@@SenszR Well I test drove this last summer but didn't really enjoy driving as it was a bit too outdated and I wanted a more modern style and a lighter vehicle. Also was told the V6 3.5 is not the most reliable and I should go for V8 5 liter which @ 2 Euros per liters is a mental thing to do. And we don't get much 4Matic of these in Finland so gotta choose a RWD in the snow and sleek which is not the safest option 😂Ended up going for a sexy Cupra Formentor 2.0t 4Drive
I have have the same, but 63 AMG in pearl white matte colour with carbon spoiler, and carbon mirrors. and i painted brakes saspensions in orange.i love my car, it looks better then A7, Panamera, and Grandcoupe.
The best engine 350CDI diesel? Obviously filmed in the Uk with environmental friendly emission requirements. I prefer the 63 with the 5.5liter V8 twin turbo with performance pkg. 550 Hp 590 lb torque. American muscle from germany. Now that is alot of tire shredding fun!
@MacGyver920 Thats a good question. But you're thinking you're still at the mall. It's when you return home that you'll have to take the shopping bags out of the boot and thats when you'll close the boot with the nose, I think.
@@emjay1249 ah! Mileage got high on the first one, second one mileage was ok, but the third one only had 15k on the clock and cream leather interior - which is rare enough for that model unless you order it new.
@@rorycanavan Any of them diesel? I've owned bmws for almost 2 decades, and it's time to trade my X3. The CLS looks miles better than f10, even g30 tbh, but funny enough, I'm worried about Merc's reliability. I would also go for 4matic as we get decent amount of snow here.
@MacGyver920 Its not your fault. It was not mentioned in the review. Merc should have built a touch control open mechanism on the rear bumper so that when your hands are full of shopping after shopping, you just kick the bloody rear bumper and up comes the boot, in goes the bags then off you go to your destination. Should sell a lot of cars with this neat feature. Of course if a car smashed into the rear, it'll also do the same trick!
I know that electronic parking brakes seem nice and upmarket, but I'd much rather have a traditional hand or foot operated mechanical one. I would feel far more comfortable leaving my car in the care of a clamp on the wheels safe in the knowledge that I applied enough force to said clamp to keep it from rolling off. Not only that, Mercedes are known for simple reliablity, and that's one less gimmick to break. Well done, MB.
The fact is, is that people who like to go on the race track and have fun, they will definitely buy a car for it's dynamics. But most people don't care, so there is no need for us to ever consider about a car's performance. Unless you are someone who cares about mpg.
why you complain about the time boot closes. this is really well-considered. if it closed too fast it might be a cause of some injuries, and if it closes that slow it makes no harm.
@datpimpinboy yeah that's the diesel. Diesels get better mileage than gas engines and also I think Euro cars get better mpg than US spec cars anyway since their fuel prices are crazy high.
No i meant the cayenne i know they are both different cars but i am having a hard time deciding because the porsche will have sports car like performance and will be good in the snow but the cls looks awesome and drives. Which one of these would you get? (ps. thnx for replying to my comment)
I feel like in all you MB reviews you say that the steering wheel is not centered. Is that only a right hand drive problem? My father owns a S and an SL and it feels perfectly centered to me.
Because in the UK diesle is better because it has better fuel economy, less maintenance, and the gas prices are not that much different to petrol. But here in the US disele is much more expensive so it is not worth it.
@aznmav2 european's "gallon" is imperial gallon, and 1 imperial gallon = 1.2 US gallon. which means the reason why their miles per gallon is higher is because they have more fuel to travel more.
I like the manual handbrake, or footbrake more correctly, if the hydraulic brakes fail, I can brake with this footbrake, with both hands on the steering wheel for extra control, and it is faster to use in a emergency. Cheers.
at CLS you say is only 2 seats in the back witch limit practicality but at 6 series you say, "have 3 seats witch is not that sporty as mercedes or audi a7" hm....
THE most beautiful Mercedes and one of the most beautiful cars EVER! Just LOOK AT IT! LOOK AT IT!
MDDeGrande1994 looks also way better than the E class w212!
Yeah, check those taillights & mirrors.. thats where they fcked up, imo.
ryu hayabusa how they look perfect
Very true
Finally getting mine!!
Ohh Matt, those boot cuts and shoes! You've come a long way my son!
very old video, but man, this reviewer is good!
Mat is clearly the freshest car reviewer out there. Well done. Always look forward to the next one.
i agree
I am an Audi owner but I love this CLS, amazing exterior
Mercedes will always be my favourite car brand.
I can't stop the carbuyer marathon for more than an hour!!!
Love the small windows: more privacy.
+Eat The Rich giggity
i love it
I might get the 2 door e class 2016. The rear windows are small but you can get a pot of air
The only reason I subscribed was because I would be the type of person to close the trunk with my nose. I love this guy already.
Man seeing matt 12 years younger is something age did that man well
If you get the CLS 250 CDI blueefficiency you get around 35mpg in the city. That's quite good if you ask me. Maintenance is another thing :)
So i wasnt a huge fan of these with pictures online because of the rear taillights. But I saw one in person and DAMN this thing is a sexy beast !
Looks so much better than it's predecessor from every anglers and inches! What a beauty and also more luxurious and technologies ! A worthy successor for sure:)
i disagree i prefer the looks of the older one and its great to drive
Hustlingforlife agreed, older one looks ancient beside this one
I'd really love to see this car with the s class style grille and that Mercedes badge on top
so this is where it all began

nope im ahead of that modified the camshaft adjusters and the sensors to allow for bigger parameters
doubt it..anyway i dont keep cars that long it will be sold on and replaced before then hehehe
rscosworthfan how did you find the design of the w218 cls compared to the w212 E class, same generation?
just bought a Diamond white 2015 CLS500 with the 9 speed geartronic, what an awesome car

DrivewayHangs so your Saying a 4 seater is more practical than 5, mostly because of passenger sizes?
Love the idea of pushing the boot close button with your nose tip matt

I recommend the 2016 facelift version it’s my best purchase yet at 65K$.
I can't wait to upgrade from my W219 CLS550(which I still love) to W218 CLS63AMG.

I like the fact it has only 2 seats in the rear. All cars should be like that.
Hi guys I live in Canada I am choosing between this and the porsche cayenne hybird, any ides?
just bought it, lovin it :#)

why would your hands be full of shopping bags when you already put them in the boot in the first place?
Love the taillights!
Can't believe 2018 was 12 years ago.
It wasn’t 💀
My neighbor has this in black, im always like "holy shit, what a car!" when i go around him :D
the most beatiful mercedes
Rear visibility poor but he didn't seem to find the button that drops the rear headrests.
I dont think they drop. They dont drop on my one anyway.
This car didn’t age a day
mercedes makes always the best cars

Mr Watson , have you forgotten the Rover P5 ''coupe'', from the 60´s ??
+scully strictly speaking that was a saloon just ambiciously named coupe by a now defunct car company
Nice but what about when it gets old i wonder if it will stand the test of the w124 with all those electric things to go wrong later
If he got the amg sport package in can do 0-60mph in less than 4 seconds

I just watched the review of the BMW 6 series and here you didnt like it had 3 seats instead you recommended the CLS back seat. Strange
I would imagine a review for the previous CLS would be exactly the same
best car on earth
First time i hear a mercedes with a super sharp steering
all of the mecedes cars are good but this one is the best
@MaximaJ31 after 10 years you can...the price here for a CLS 2004 is like 25000 Euro so is not cheap but is still not 85000 Euro like it was in 2004
How could you feel claustrophobic in this kind of car?/?
0:50, your hands arn't full of shopping when your closing the boot, your hands are full when you are opening the boot..
Taking grocery out ,he meant
You can probably get a wireless key that you can open trunk with.
So you're saying nobody should take stuff out the boot? lol
you push a button and jump inside a car....plus you dont need to touch dirty body in a winter time
Said like a true Trump supporter without thought or consequence as to how the real world works 😂
best 4 door coupe

(ps. thnx for replying to my comment)
Why would you close a boot with handfuls of shopping? Surely they'd be in the boot when you have to close it?
what about when you get the shopping home ? thought about that genius ?
That's why you have shopping trolleys and the idea of putting your shopping in and then closing the boot.
my brain hurts reading all these comments , it has an auto shutting boot that must come in very handy sometimes . period
Jack Farmer he means when you take out of boot whatever saves you putting down and then struggling to pick up again.get it
who has shopping trolleys at home you pillock lol
Why do I torture myself watching these nice cars, when I probably not going to have one of these.
i am in love in this car

Anyone watching this on 31st December 2022??
watching on may 25 2024
why do european models have better mileage than the american models?
This is a car primarily for business, so you don't need more than 4 seats anyway
@MacGyver920 Thx bro. Amazing feature! Really great feature. They really made it happened.
Because in the UK diesle is better because it has better fuel economy, less maintenance, and the gas prices are not that much different to petrol. But here in the US disele is much more expensive so it is not worth it.
This Video is good.
So the S class is better?
@aznmav2 european's "gallon" is imperial gallon, and 1 imperial gallon = 1.2 US gallon. which means the reason why their miles per gallon is higher is because they have more fuel to travel more.
@marcone007 well yeah but your car would be in the garage that would be like a couple feet from the door, which means a couple runs is not a big deal.
dear matt, what car are u driving?
oo its looks good
I like the manual handbrake, or footbrake more correctly, if the hydraulic brakes fail, I can brake with this footbrake, with both hands on the steering wheel for extra control, and it is faster to use in a emergency. Cheers.
what about when u take the bags out to take them inside your home?
What if the floor is wet or there is snow on the ground? What then? I don't want a car just for that but i would like for my car to have that feature.
i definitly gonna buys this mental car
actually, nissan primera 'invented' this line, cls was the second.
dont think like that. study, start your own business work hard do what you have to do to get what you want
Hey isn't that guy from carwow
I mean, he wasn't always working for Carwow...
Why do all these mercs have offset steering wheels?? Whats the reason for it?
Wow cowboy boots. I could never accept the steering not being in the center.
nice review 5 stars !! i will get this car :D
i'm always in a situation that require me to use my nose to close the boot
The LED fog / daytime-running lights are always on.

Why would you close the boot if you have your hands full of shopping?
You know, i really love this car, but unfortunately my country sells this car at 250k USD...
Could u guys do a Audi A7 too?
