SuccessorMercedes-Benz CLS-Class (C257)
Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé (CLS 63)

The C218 Mercedes-Benz CLS is the second generation of the Mercedes CLS-Class range of four-door coupé sedans. The model shares the chassis and most of the technology with the W212 Mercedes E-class (2010) and was produced from 2011 to 2017.[4] The body styles of the range are:

Unlike its predecessor, the C218/X218 CLS can be optioned with all-wheel drive 4MATIC on all models including CLS 63 AMG variants.[5] Mercedes also introduced a new five-door estate version to the CLS lineup, called the CLS Shooting Brake.[6]

The C218 CLS-Class was succeeded by the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class (C257) in 2018.[7]

Development and launch

The design of the W218 CLS is based on the F800 Style concept car unveiled by Mercedes-Benz at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show.[8] It is a four-door coupé featuring a new COMAND interface utilizing a touchpad, design cues inspired by the Mercedes SLS AMG, and sliding rear doors.[9] The production version C218 CLS was publicly unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and as with the previous generation,[10] is based on the E-Class platform, utilising the same rear multi-link suspension setup.[11]

Production started in January 2011, with 4MATIC model sales starting later in September.[12]

Shooting Brake (X218)

The CLS Shooting Brake was announced in June 2012, and is an estate version of the CLS sedan.[13] It is based on the Concept Shooting Brake unveiled at Auto China 2010.[14] Shooting Brake models went on sale from October 2012, and are available alongside sedan models in all-wheel drive and AMG variants.[15] It is currently not sold in the United States.[16] It is the most expensive serial production station wagon in the world since year 1992.

Equipment

Standard equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual zone automatic climate control, power sunroof, and satellite navigation with a 10GB hard-drive.[17] Standard safety equipment consists of anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, active head restraints, and 10 total front, side, and knee airbags.[18] CLS models also come with driver fatigue detection and lane departure warning system functions as standard.[19] Available options include Mercedes' AIRMATIC air suspension, traffic sign recognition, and a reversing camera in conjunction with the COMAND APS system.[20][21]
