The most beautiful Mercedes-Benz CLS-class I bought for 450,000 yuan, but its appearance is perfect but its space is not as good as Teana?

Coupe, as the name suggests, is a four-door sedan with a sports car appearance. When talking about four-door coupe, many people may be like me. The first thing that comes to mind is Audi A7 and Panamera. A familiar model. But if you ask who is the first person to try something new in the coupe world, many people may scratch their heads and wonder who it is. What I bring to you today is the "originator" of the four-door coupe - Mercedes-Benz CLS

The first-generation CLS was first released in 2004. Its elegant and noble temperament and unique appearance instantly became It became the focus of the racing circle at that time.

The name CLS makes people easily associate it with the S-Class or CL, thinking that it is a derivative of the S-Class, and with its high price, it will give people a noble feeling. But in fact, CLS has always used the E-Class chassis from the first generation to the latest third generation. I have to admit that Mercedes-Benz’s naming method is indeed very smart.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The first generation of CLS is certainly classic, but the most impressive thing about CLS is the second generation, which is today’s protagonist - the 15-model Mercedes-Benz CLS?320.

The official guide price of this CLS 320 as a bare car was 768,000, including discounts, it cost more than 800,000. The current price of this car in the second-hand car market is between 390,000 and 460,000, depending on the region. Depending on the condition of the car, the price will be slightly different.

The positioning of CLS is different from that of S-class business tycoons and E-class business elites. CLS is more individual and sporty, but it is not as overly sporty as C63 and SLK. It is more like a mid-range sedan. The product between the two can be used to discuss business on the field, and can also be used to drive off the field. The all-round positioning is very similar to the three best students in the class when they were studying.

CLS was once called the "most beautiful" coupe, and the main reason why it was called the most beautiful was its side. The elegant shape of the side is its most attractive part, starting from the front of the car. A line is directly connected to the rear of the car, and the transition is extremely natural, as if the car was born as a whole, dynamic yet elegant.

My favorite thing about the CLS is the willow-shaped taillights at the rear of the car. As one of the most iconic features of CLS, the willow-shaped taillights are instantly recognizable whether they are static or powered on. The temperature is very high, especially at night.

Not only the taillights, the headlights of the CLS are also very beautiful. As a mid-term facelift of the 15 models, the most obvious change in appearance is its headlights, which have full LED light sources, as well as automatic headlights and Turning headlights, both in shape and configuration, are at the top level. Perhaps starting from this generation of CLS, the title of lamp manufacturer does not only belong to Audi.

As a four-door coupe, frameless doors will naturally not be absent. Imagine putting on a handsome suit, combing your hair like an adult, driving this beauty to a crowded place, opening the frameless door, and getting out of the car in front of everyone. At that moment, you will I think it’s worth the money!

Because it is on the same platform as the E, the interior of the CLS is more similar to the E, but the details are different. The interior style of the CLS is more sporty.

The instrument and steering wheel with the Mercedes-Benz logo of the previous generation, the multifunctional steering wheel is fully functional and feels excellent, and the metallic shift paddles make people want to get excited from time to time.

In terms of configuration, the CLS?320 comes standard with seat memory, automatic air conditioning, automatic parking, heated front seats and an 11-speaker audio system. Although the configuration is not good enough for its pricing, , but the practicality is absolutely no problem.

CLS pays more attention to personal daily driving. Although the appearance is sporty enough, its seats are more comfortable, not so wrapped, and the seat adjustment methods are more diverse, making it easier to drive. More comfortable.

Because of the shape, don’t expect the back seat to be very comfortable, but it is perfectly fine for daily use. Compared to the A7, the rear space of the CLS is really not too comfortable. Because of the partition in the middle, only two people can sit in the back row at most, but the advantage is that it has a lot more storage space.

Compared with the big fastback of the A7 and Padme, the trunk of the CLS is no different from an ordinary three-box family car in terms of opening and space, so there is no problem for daily household use.

This 15-model CLS?320 is equipped with Mercedes-Benz’s own 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine, which can produce a maximum of 272 horsepower. Do these data look familiar? This engine is codenamed M272. It is equipped with the same engine on the E320 and S320. It is paired with a 7-speed automatic manual gearbox and can accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in 6.4 seconds. This result is considered the standard level of its class.

The size of this generation of CLS is 4956*1881*1423, and the wheelbase is 2874. This size makes CLS look particularly petite in front of its opponents. Perhaps because of this, it is called " "Beautiful", not "handsome".

If the CLS car is compared to a star, it is like Li Bingbing in my heart. It exudes noble temperament from the inside out. It looks so elegant statically, like a person who has fallen into the world. The goddess of time. When you adjust its driving mode to ECO, close the windows, put on a blues saxophone, and drive smoothly on the busy urban roads at night. The smooth power output and 11 speakers create a feeling that can keep you away from the hustle and bustle of the city and soothe your inner restlessness. When the driving mode is adjusted to SPORT, the extremely sensitive throttle and the roar from the 3.0? The afterimage of the leaf taillight gradually disappeared into the night.

The knobs and buttons of the central control are used to control the large central control screen, and the ES button on the left is its mode adjustment.

In my opinion, the CLS is an all-rounder that can be used in various environments and suitable for various people. However, the high price at that time and the practicality that did not meet this price made it destined to become only a big toy for a few people. Now four years later, its second-hand price has dropped to 450,000, making what was once impossible possible. Perhaps the people who once liked it have already bought a car and started a family, or perhaps because the price of its later maintenance is prohibitive. But in my heart, it will always be a classic, and it will always be that elegant and noble goddess. So the question is, if it were you, in the price range of 400,000-500,000, would you choose it?
