What level of sedan is the Mercedes-Benz CLS?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz CLS is a C-class sedan, which is a mid-to-large-sized sedan, with a body length between 4.9 meters and 5.1 meters, and a wheelbase between 2.8 meters and 2.9 meters. The classification of car levels is mainly based on parameters such as wheelbase, displacement, and weight. The further the letter is in the alphabet, the longer the wheelbase, and the larger the displacement and weight of the car in that class. The Mercedes-Benz CLS is a sports car under the Mercedes-Benz brand, with dimensions of 4998mm in length, 1890mm in width, and 1404mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2939mm. The car is equipped with front airbags for the driver and front passenger, side airbags for the front seats, and window airbags. In the event of a collision, the deployed side airbags and window airbags can provide additional protection, reducing the risk of chest and head injuries for the driver and passengers.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS is undoubtedly a mid-to-large luxury coupe within the Mercedes family. Having studied cars for so many years, I've found that the CLS pioneered the four-door coupe segment since its inception, with particularly avant-garde design language. Now in its third generation, the car measures nearly 5 meters in length with a wheelbase approaching 3 meters—similar to the E-Class but with a sportier flair. Behind the wheel, you can enjoy the explosive power of the 3.0T V6 engine while experiencing the refined vibration damping of the air suspension. Those who've sat in the rear will know it's far more practical than a pure sports car, with a trunk that can fit two suitcases. Its main competitors in the same class are the Audi A7 and BMW 6 Series GT, but the CLS's fastback profile remains the most distinctive.
