2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS 400d: First Impressions

The CLS gets sharper, but also more spacious and comfortable. A proper E-Class with attitude, then!

There are those who begin trends, and those who follow them. The world of automobiles is no exception to this dictum. Consider, for instance, the Mercedes-Benz CLS – the first and ‘original’ four-door coupe. Back in 2004, when Mercedes invented this segment, they couldn’t have known that there’ll come a time when swanky four-door coupes will swarm the market. But given that it’s happened, we can safely say that the CLS indeed was a trendsetter, and will always be known for its unique and out-of-the-box design. After 14 years and 357,000 units, the CLS is now ready to begin the third chapter of its life. Sure, it’s not revolutionary, like the original, but it does manage to bring a lot to the table. The first and the most obvious aspect of this new-gen coupe is its styling – a clean design with taut and unmistakable lines. Overall, the new CLS has a more athletic demeanour than its previous iterations. Its sharply raked front-end specifically drew our attention. It seems like a shark prepared to pounce on its prey.
