What level does the Mercedes-Benz CLS300 belong to
2 Answers
The Mercedes-Benz CLS300 belongs to the mid-to-large-sized car category. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS300 Dynamic model as an example: In terms of body dimensions: It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan launched by Mercedes-Benz (imported), with a length, width, and height of 4988mm, 1890mm, and 1424mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2939mm. In terms of power: It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 190kw and a maximum torque of 370nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Suspension and drive mode: The 2021 Mercedes-Benz CLS300 Dynamic model adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of four-link independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension, featuring electric power steering.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS300 undoubtedly belongs to the luxury mid-to-large-sized coupe category. Personally, I consider it a direct competitor to models like the Audi A7 and BMW 6 Series GT. With a length of nearly 5 meters, its fastback lines are exceptionally sleek, and the frameless doors give it a less conventional, more dynamic appeal compared to traditional sedans. The chassis tuning feels sportier than the E-Class, and while it's powered by a 2.0T engine, the mild hybrid system ensures quick acceleration from a standstill, making highway overtaking particularly exhilarating. Rear legroom is indeed slightly tighter than the S-Class, but passengers under 180cm won't feel cramped at all. The trunk can easily accommodate three carry-on suitcases, making it practical for weekend getaways. Priced in the 600,000 to 700,000 RMB range, it offers more practicality than performance sports cars while standing out more than conventional luxury vehicles, fully upholding Mercedes-Benz's premium brand positioning.
