Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (2012 - 2018) CLS 220 BlueTEC AMG Line 5d 7G-Tronic Owner Review

The CLS is a beautiful car and the shooting break adds practicality and load carrying capacity. Unlike a 4x4 it feels like a sports car to drive with the raked windscreen and pillarless doors yet it can also carry 4 people and their luggage in comfort. It’s aerodynamic shape and styling allow motorway cruising at 40mpg +whilst switching to sport mode and using the paddles to change gear rather than the fully automatic gearbox changes the cars character and enables the cars sporting character to be enjoyed. Ours is also our caravan tow car and eats high mileages with ease whilst looking svelte and cool. Whilst I have enjoyed most of the BMW and Mercedes large saloons and estate cars I have had( plus a couple of Porsche’s), this CLS AMG line shooting break ‘ticks all those boxes ‘ at the same time.
