2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550

Mercedes-Benz created a hit when they launched the CLS-Class range in late 2003. Designed on the E-Class underpinnings, the CLS offered a sportier, four-door coupe body style to buyers who wanted a luxury midsize sedan with sports car looks. The segment has since seen competitors from nearly all the headline German luxury automakers. Today’s 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 comes from the second generation that ran between 2010 and 2018. It’s a lovely machine for the discerning driver who also wants something relatively practical and family-friendly. Currently residing in Miami, this machine has done over 83,000 miles so far.

Seems impossible until Mercedes- Benz released the original E class based CLS in 2005.
