If you’re after something with standout looks and a refined, confident drive, the Mercedes CLS could be just right. First launched in 2004, it introduced a new idea – bringing coupe style to the saloon market. The second-generation model (2011–2018) improved comfort, equipment and efficiency, while the third generation (2018 onwards) added even more technology and polish, matching rivals like the Audi A7 and BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe. You’ll find most Mercedes CLS models come packed with high-end features, powerful yet smooth diesel engines and well-trimmed interiors. It’s not quite as practical as the E-Class saloon – especially in the rear seats – but it makes up for that with a big helping of style. Higher trims often include full leather, LED lighting and modern infotainment setups.
