Autogefühl I'm so excited for this car!
I feel that it's kind of a let down compared to the E-class sedan, coupe and the Audi A7. Best thing about it is the lights in the air vent!
How do you like the car compared to E43? I suppose the car would feel heavier due to hybrid system.
If I'm getting this car, I'd get CLS 400. Guess it's expensive. Just saw the E43 today. The sound that comes out of it is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!
I have a question for Thomas. Is the normal CLS seats more comfy than the AMG version's seats?
The rain makes this review kinda ... classy 👌🏽
I don't think I've ever watched a car review in the rain, much respect -- The paint looks fantastic in this setting
:-)
I love driving in the rain. This was one of my best experience watching a car review. I felt totally immersed in it as if I was in the front passenger seat. Great review Thomas. Thank you! Muchas Graçias Señor!
gracias! :)
I admire the determination of you guys to get these reviews done even under the miserable conditions.
Regarding the car, I think Audi did a better job with the A7. I do like the vents with the illumination inside though. That’s probably the coolest feature in this car.
appreciated!
Having waited for this so long. Thank you Thomas ! Greatly appreciate
High quality review as always!
Been waiting for this...great video man !!
Great Review - and excellent driving part Thomas - many thanks as always. I missed the Sailing Boat! "...mixed it in the house!" Really good work.
You have full filled my knowledge again about this car like others , thank you .
Thank you for this video! Greaty appreciated
This attempt to create design cohesion between model ranges in the newest line up has killed the beautiful and distinct styling of the CLS
GrouchOsa yup last gen way nicer than this one
It looks so much better without those rear fender "humps" . . it's so clean and contemporary now. Nice review, Thomas!
This review is so Amazing, thank you Thomas!
What have they done with the rear...Old Cls was a beauty
Dane Exactly.
More like, what have they done with the whole car... I find the whole exterior ugly and cheap looking
The 2015+ cls was so gorgeous, and way nicer than this new one.
Red 2847 Yes, I will be keeping my 2016 for many years now.
Yay! Another quality review has arrived! At the time when I decide to get a new car, I'm sure you will have a "millions" of reviews I can choose from when making a decision.
Fantastic and honest review as always
Loved the comprehensive presentation.
Great review.
Great review. Thanks!
Wow. The best looking Mercedes from the current lineup. Amazing. Not even appalling weather can stop you Thomas. Thumbs up. :D
Great video!
Sorry, I thought I saw a 4-door Mustang in the thumbnail...
Previous gen looked way more hot
great review as always. Sadly not as good looking as the first generation CLS.
agree, especially on an amg. I am also not particularly fond of this russian doll approach to car design. It was bad when audi was doing this with exteriors, but now that this has been extended to interiors, it is getting out of hand.
The 2015-2017 cls also has a much nicer design. Those ones were actually very beautiful on the exterior design with the facelift changes they got.
@@av8743 What do you think of the 2011-2014 version? Pre facelift second edition that is.
Not sure on the design.. also the ambient light makes it look cheap / cheesy..
It‘s because of the colour if you take white for example it won‘t look cheap. But carbon looks cheap
nice video from Thomas again!!!
Thank you M8
I just love this channel!
welcome !
damn good review.
Damnit Thomas! Your reviews are like RUclips Cat videos. Highly addictive! :-)
:-)
I really like how you explain everything about all the details with fun way . A big respect Thomas
glad u joined us!
Even on the AMG version, there is fake exhaust tips. One thing that I wish would just go away forever.
They aren't fake they are like extension.
They should have renamed this car as the CLE to fit the new naming structure that MB has.
A, CLA, GLA, C, GLC, E, "CLE", GLE, S, GLS
Calling it CLS makes it seem like a 4 dour coupe version of the S Class rather than the E. Calling it CLE would give the upcoming AMG GT more room in the higher end bracket too.
Thomas thanks very very very BIG for the best videos u always uploaded. GREETINGS FROM Namibia Windhoek.
in your service!
I used to be a CLS fan. But this car......The exterior is so terrible.
Evan Zhang it's a disaster also the designer will mess up CLS shooting brake as well
Only Thomas can make a exceptional car review in the rain. OUTSTANDING !
👍👍👍
love the way test drive had been videoed . Video quality is gr8 too !
👌
sehr gutes Review, und schön zu hören, das ihr auch Kritik direkt äußert
Vielen Dank bleib bei uns!
This CLS is very well designed.
Till Lindemann not even close to the 2017 model imo
Very nice work as always. Nothing can't stop you not even the weather. Keep going
Great to see you stay so cheerful in such hooible weather, Great car by the way
Awesome video! Can you please make a review on the e class all terrain
i just can't get the new design language!!
The best car reviewer in the world 🙌🏻🙌🏻 btw i love driving in the rain 🌧
for the honesty, thumb up~~~
cheers!
"Michel mixed it in the house yo, the temperature DJ...." This is too much. I can't keep up with all the clever phrases Thomas is creating.
lol ;-)
Another great video Thomas!! I got to admit I don't think this new CLS looks that good.
Love the cls. Looks great
Whatever else Mercedes does, they do Interiors very well.
Thomas, once again an excellent review. Thank you. Did you ever get any feedback re safe seating positions behind driver airbag? Waiting for your review of the GT 4. ;-)
Fantastic review. Love the interior, very concept car looking. But that interior space, wow you looked really cramped sitting in it.
great to have u here!
Great review! Surprised about the back seat headroom space though.
This car was on my list as a daily, but now I'm inclining more towards E class coupe.
Awesome review Thomas.
Amazing Mercedes AMG CLS 53! Jst the perfect car!
Absolutely love the new look or design
So interesting to see the opinions on the styling.
I LOVE the way this car looks. I love it so much, I leased this exact car. Same color, trim level, etc. I have summer tires, however.
I may go for the M8 when my lease expires because of performance, but this car looks MUCH better than the BMW.
Hi Thomas another great review as always,does the 53 amg have the sport exhaust button like the c43 amg? Cheers
One vehicle where Mercedes' design approach of crease-less bodywork doesn't pay off. A little too plain. The rear seat space is somewhat to be expected. Mercedes' isn't making this vehicle to be roomy and accommodating for rear-seat passengers, very similar to a regular E-Class Coupe, just with easier rear-seat access with doors. If you want rear seat space, you get the E-Class sedan. It wouldn't make sense for the CLS to have accommodating rear-seat space as it would make it redundant with the E-Class sedan. In comparison, the A7 has a bit more knee room, but the headroom is about comparable though the last A7 that was reviewed didn't have a sunroof or anything to take away ceiling space like this CLS does.
What the hell they done with the inside room spaces. Almost 5 meters and VW POLO has more space.
that's right
The definition of a coupe is a car with a cut roof or low roof, so i'd say yes in this case as it's clear to see that the CLS has a very low roof and shallow greenhouse.
Hi Thomas!!! I completely enjoyed your car reviews all the time! You have this very soothing/calm voice and you definitely say what you want to say (good/bad) about the car! I hope you can do a complete/extensive review of the all new Rolls Royce Phantom VIII... As you would say: " In full hd, full screen, full X"
love to hear that - stick to us!
This car reviewer sets the standard by which all others should be judged. Very classy and informative
thanks chris !
Nice ride, but the biggest concern for me is the lack of space and especially headspace in this car. For me a let down since i'm 1.90m tall.
As Thomas stated the seating in the CLS is cramped for 6foot drivers. Why does mercedes make the CLS so uncomfortable for taller drivers.
Great video Thomas , I was lucky enough to drive the brand new BMW M5 earlier this week and also that 640GT .Was pretty epic
LEE AVISON do you like the new m5 better than the 2017 cls63 amg?
Hi . Infact YES in every way . New M5 is well balanced and beautifully powerful . I would still be happy driving the AMG though. M5 is more refined in my personal view. But i am not a fan of animal skin , I wish both could use more sustainable materials .
The all wheel drive is amazing . I drove in the snow and powered away from an old 525 rear wheel drive, I see that guys face in my mirror , He was like OMG
LEE AVISON but on exterior design, don’t you feel that the 2015-2017 cls63 has a more special, sleeker and beautiful sporty shape compared to even the new f90 m5?
I’m sure both drive very well, but the design and sleekness with the 4 doors is what really gets me on that cls63 model. And it’s got AWD as well just like the new m5.
They just gave up on the rear end :(
its like an A class and a C class had a stretched baby
I totally agree!
the 1st gen cls looked like a proper coupe
mehmet 1923 I find facelifted second gen kills them
Both
Now that is a beautiful car!!!!!!
Very good Thomas .. Nice quiet and Detailed Review as always . I always Prefer for 200% a very direct Steering ..Very Low Movement on the steering wheel but immediate strong Response of the Car,a nice Heavy Feel to it. Plus that the Rol should be down to 0. That's my kind of ideal Car Driving .. I Love driving in the Rain .. it Relaxes me a Lot with the grey Air and easygoing driving .
thanks for the comment :)
You're Welcome ;)
Where are the aggressive shoulder, front & headlights of the previous CLS ? This is a weak design period.
Said Azizi it I the past with all the previous generation models who shared that aggressive design. They have moved on.
Did you like the previous gen rear end and tail light design better than this new one as well?
I agree overall last one looked WAY sexier.
Good review by AUTOGEFUEHL
The CLS is my favourite Mercedes
thanks keep joining us!
Autogefühl I have click the button Bell 👍😉
I love it
Very nice video! Congrats!
I couldn't bare to watch the part with the doors open and rain entering in. I fast forwarded till you got in and closed the doors :))
Otherwise, excellent review, as always!
Hi Thomas, great review! Just one thing, in 19:39 you said MCT but it's actually a TCT gearbox ;)
Thanks!
Uh, so TCT is a converter afaik
Great detail review from Thomas! How about the New G class review?

And driving review in a couple of month
Thanks for the excellent and informative review. Seeing the car in everyday driving rather than a pseudo-journalist showing off his driving skills is much more relevant and useful. Your review was thorough without going into intricate details going through every menu option.I appreciate your honesty regarding the seats. In fairness, MB seats have a lot of adjustments and you can often find a comfortable position. I was also surprised at your inference that the 2018 CLS has to be the worst rear seat versus the total length of car of all cars. Fortunately for you and I, then, we don't sit in the back seat! Well done on a great review. The camera work and sound was great too.
Some of the YT comments regarding the direction the 2018 CLS has gone echoes the same comments when the 2010/11 (2nd Generation) version came out. I must admit, when I saw the 2nd Gen CLS I hated it. However, as a driver of a CLS Shooting Brake, I love how my car looks. The 2nd Gen CLS looked radically different because it ushered in a squarer, more muscular, angular style (or "design language" as they say). At the time, cars were very much soap bar shaped with rounded edges, which was especially true of Mercedes' cars. The 2nd Gen CLS is not very attractive in photos, but is actually very beautiful in reality, especially since most other manufacturers' cars followed the angular styling of Mercedes. Therefore, maybe, those who dislike this new CLS will love it in the metal.
Mercedes with the 2018 3rd Gen CLS has regressed to closer the old 1st Gen CLS. I think once more Mercedes receive the new family "shark" grille with narrow headlamps and the other manufacturers copy the style, the 3rd Gen CLS will grow on everyone. Additionally, no-one does interiors like Mercedes. BMW's look dated and cheap, as do Audis. The new E-Class, S-Class and now this new CLS (and the 2014/5 C-Class) are leagues ahead of their rivals.
My only lament is the demise of my beloved CLS Shooting Brake. No other car on the road gets the comments my CLS does, and I live where it's wall to wall Lamborghinis and Ferarris. Let's hope MB relents and makes a S-B version. The extra premium over the E-ClassEstate is worth it for the beauty, styling, and extra practicality.
It's great to see the tech edge of MB is being touted as standard (in the UK market). Audi has a terrible habit of charging extra for things that are expected in even cheap runabouts. Mercedes had it's flirt with mediocrity when it foolishly joined with Chrysler. With these current cars that's very much a dim and distant nightmare.
As there's no S-B, I'm probably leaning towards a GLE or S-Class, dependent on whether my wife is with me when I buy!
thanks for the extensive feedback !
Personally I think the facelifted 2nd gen cls (2015-2017) was the most beautiful one they ever made, and a lot lot nicer than this new one due to the more aggressive styling it had on it. Combination of luxury and muscle in one well done.
I'm really looking forward to the new S-class. Also, thank you Thomas and the Autogefühl team for this amazing work. And as I always you have to watch the video in full screen, full HD and full length.
Looks like Mercedes weakened the CLS' muscular lines and stance, discontinued the CLS63 in favor of making the new AMG GT 4 door coupe the high performAnce car. The interior on the new CLS model is indeed much nicer. Maybe Mercedes will surprise us in a year or two and offer an AMG CLS 63 4 Matic+ version. I do think Thomas your review was spot on and I sensed your disappointment in the car.
Je S I really do hope they release a proper AMG version of this car. These "half way house" AMGs are basically standard cars with some different badging, and a slight change to bodywork, and a few more horse power. Everybody knows this AMG is for women, old people and (relatively) poor men. BMW are doing the same. It devalues the motorsport brand. What a load of rubbish. If no CLS 63S, then I am moving over to another brand.
Larry Kippings Your comments are right on the money!
SATANIC WHOREMASTER No, not for poor people, but relatively less wealthy. This is a standard Mercedes. Standard Mercedes are massively overpriced "luxury" cars, poorly made, and sold to the middle classes. This is in essence one of those cars. True AMGs are based on these standard cars, but have racing engines, racing suspension, re-designed bodywork, and can be driven (and are driven) on racetracks by rich elitists. Mercedes are slowly destroying their brand - chasing the Dollar, but disregarding the true AMG fanatics. Short term financial gains / sales over long term AMG brand respectability and customer loyalty.
+Larry Kippings - good point. And you're right about 'rich is relative'! People see someone in a 911 and think they're rich. Relatively, possibly. And compared to me. But a £150k 911 is nothing compared to a £950k Sunseeker (in some marinas, the place is stuffed with these common things!). Or a £4.9m Sunseeker. Or a £70m Gulfstream. Or a £380m Superyacht. To the rich, a Chiron is nothing, they buy six of them. Ha! - Elitism and Elitists - well said, Larry!
Obviously none of you have ever had the CLS. You are talking about the C and the CLA. The CLS is between the E and the S. I is not going away. The AMG is the hand crafted engine - there will be a AMG CLS 63 and an AMG CLS 53. The 68 has the V-8 and is over 125K. The CLS 550 is 96K with the good options. Base price is $75 K.
I really love your videos guys. Excellent work as always. As for the new CLS, I was really looking forward for a replacement of my current CLS, but I don’t think I am putting my money on any of the German brands in the near future.
why not
Because it is ugly.
Yup previous generation cls especially with the facelift kills this in design.
More beautiful and aggressive at the same time and more road presence I’m sure
Hi, Thomas. I was wondering will you be filming a full review on the new i30N? Love your videos, keep up the good work. :)
hey m8, thats planned for a couple of month when its getting warmer, already fixed schedule - keeping u updated :)
Autogefühl Thank you for the info :)
I kinda missed the original one-armed windshield wiper, don't know why Mercedes gave it up. Great review, Thomas📣
thx!
You're the best.
thanks so much!
I like the sound of the inline six.
41:19 really nice how it changes the map from night to day, missed it the first time I watched the review.
Noticed with the side profile the rear overhang seems to be quite long. If MB pushed the wheelbase a couple more inches back, I just think it would help in alleviating/adding some leg and headroom space for the rear seat passengers.
Car has a lot of presence and the dash/cabin is very modern, very high end.
As always a top review Thomas.
cheers!
My my my...Mercedes really fked up this CLS...I’ll go with the new A7 on this one...
Good review informative. I like function over form so personally see no point in a huge car with little space. So many coupes are like that. I would rather have a saloon Thanks
Well MB you finally ffffd the CLS up for good !
Nice
Looks lovely. I want to see the back in real life. I have a feeling it'll look amazing in real life. People didn't like the rear of the first CLS. It ended up looking amazing.
SDav21 previous gen was a beauty especially with the facelift
In a crime ridden area the release of the rear seats from inside the boot is an excellent idea (as long as the boot doesn't open from the cabin when the car is locked). Loved that feature in my 2008 Elantra.
As usual, Thomas' reviews never disappoint! :)
There is something "weird" on the car looking from the side: there is a lot of "rear overhang", I mean, the rear axle is too forward compared to the end of the trunk...
thanks 4 tuning in!
One of the many reasons once again as to why the previous 2017 cls has a much nicer design to this new one.
I want to watch Thomas’s review on new Audi Q3
I've tried and tried and hoping it will grow on me but, the design of those tail lights i just cannot look at them it makes me puke
It's a good looking car, but its styling can't compete with the new Audi A7.
What's wrong with Mercedes....design is ....
46:15 Heyyy look, thats me behind Thomas! :D
😍Gorgeous car
Beautiful tech. esp. the hybrid. I would have like to see a side-by-side (at least in the parking lot) of a nice 2006 cls 55 to show where we've come from, maybe comparing length and weight as well as shots of the different AMG interior spaces. There is definitely an evolution going on now towards all-electric which is partially responsible for the tamer beast we see here.
Great review as always. Don't like the new design though.
Billy Bob yea previous one way nicer
