Professional Reviews

• “The coupelike Mercedes CLS-Class has a visual presence that few other luxury sedans can match.” — Edmunds.com
• “In back, its dimensions are tighter in nearly every direction when compared to more mainstream sedans. Additionally, the small rear windows can make occupants feel closed in.” — Edmunds.com
• “The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class offers a level of athleticism and sumptuousness that in the past has been difficult to find in one car.” — Edmunds.com
• “Loosely defined, the CLS' rivals would be V8-powered, rear-drive luxury/sport sedans, such as the Audi A8/S8, BMW 5 Series/M5, Lexus GS 430, Infiniti M45 and Cadillac STS/STS-V. Although all are impressive vehicles, none can match the CLS's impressive combination of style, performance and function.” — Edmunds.com
• “Getting into the back seat of the CLS is an exercise in neck contortion, and even front-seaters make do without a ton of room, with elbows finding a surface on either side pretty quickly.” — Car and Driver
• “What distinguishes the CLS most readily from other Mercedes sedans is its four-seat cabin and gorgeous exterior styling.” — New Car Test Drive
• “It's a must-see for drivers willing to exchange a rear center seat for a load of curb appeal.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Its computer-managed air suspension scoffs at whatever the road serves up, delivering that classic Mercedes balance of ride comfort and predictable handling.” — New Car Test Drive
