"If you want space, style and comfort - and have the money to pay for it - the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake is in a class of . his own "

the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake is the first car of its kind - crossed a four-door coupe with an estate. Although it looks like nothing else on the road, are rivals of the BMW 5 Series Touring and the Jaguar XF Sports Brake.
Based on the Sedan Mercedes CLS, the Shooting Brake a boat much larger 50 liter adds but maintains long and low roofline, making it appear sporty inside despite the impressive room.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs
-
choose wisely - costs vary between different models
splash out on the top-of-the-range Mercedes CLS 63 AMG and the operating costs are through the roof go. Mercedes claims the engine will return V8 5.5-liter economy to 28mpg fuel, but in reality it is unlikely near that everywhere.
However, the two diesel models are much more efficient, are mainly the four cylinder Mercedes CLS 220 BlueTEC, which was recorded in 2014 in the program and can return 56.5mpg while 132g / km of CO2 emitted. The faster CLS 350 BlueTEC version is not far behind on either economy and emissions of just over 50mpg and 142g / km.
Service costs are reasonable and know with fixed rates for jobs such as changing brake pads, you'll know where you stand when something needs to be replaced.

motors, drive & Performance
-
Large long distances and on the winding roads
, the first thing is to point out to cover that the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake feels virtually identical to the standard sedan CLS to drive, despite a weight of around 15 kg more. The steering is light, but responds quickly to curves, and while the body rolls around a bit in corners, the overall balance of the car is very good.
The 220 CLS BlueTEC diesel model is fast enough, and almost silent both on the highway and in the city. It may sound gross to full throttle, however, and the six-cylinder Mercedes CLS 350 BlueTEC is much better in this regard.
The seven-speed automatic transmission can occasionally slow to respond, but that sums up the CLS Shooting Brake character - is a relaxing car to drive the simple. There is also a 9G-Tronic nine-speed automatic transmission, but it is only on the CLS 350 BlueTEC available.

Interior & Comfort
-
Comfortable , quiet and effortless - the CLS is a relaxing way
travelUnlike BMW, which put the emphasis firmly on sporty handling, Mercedes models are usually to be a little more relaxed ride, and this is certainly true. Order the optional front air suspension and you get two modes - Sport and Comfort -. From where both pillows from bumps
Road, wind and engine noise are well suppressed brilliant all also leave you cheerful, to make progress toward your goal. With the suspension in its softest mode, the high-performance AMG version is comfortable and quiet inside - so long as you are the controller used with caution.

practicality & trunk
-
not as spacious as some stalls, but surprisingly large inside
It is not often a car offers such a mix of style and functionality also. But make 16 mm long by the CLS and stretching the roof all the way back, Mercedes has created a 50-liter trunk in the CLS Shooting Brake, which extended to the three-seat bench folded forwards to 1,550 liters. the folding seats is easy - just a drag handle in the trunk mounted and they jump forward
Headroom is improved slightly in the back of the salon, but is not as generous as the Mercedes E-Class T. That link to style less concentrated. For an extra £ 4030 the boot floor in cherry wood flooring can be finished, which looks fantastic needed, but they are treated to carefully avoid scratching.

price, price-performance ratio and options
-
costs more than the CLS sedan, but more for your money
It is difficult to name a car that at such a high price begins "a good price-performance ratio" but when you measure it against the standard CLS, the Shooting Brake starts capture.
