Mercedes-Benz has said that they will stop making CLS-class cars on August 31. Since the current generation of CLS isn’t going to be replaced, production will end in August. Even though the CLS is built on the same chassis as the E-class car, the sedan has always looked like a coupe. The Mercedes-Benz CLS class has reached the end of its creation process. The company says that production of the car that looks like a coupe will stop on August 31. Mercedes has yet to make plans to replace the current CLS after production stops in August. This means that 2023 will be its last model year. Even though the CLS got a small update as recently as 2022, it is being phased out before the next version of the E-class sedan is ready. Mercedes will only sell the all-wheel-drive CLS450 4Matic after 2022. This model will replace the rear-wheel-drive CLS450 and the 429-horsepower CLS53. The only one left, the CLS450, has a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that runs smoothly as butter and a 48-volt hybrid drivetrain that is shared with the E450 car. The sleek four-door car can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, thanks to its 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. The CLS has a great ride that is more about comfort than speed, and it gets its driving skills from the luxurious E-class. By getting rid of the CLS, Mercedes isn’t exactly getting rid of its least expensive car, but the choice favor’s its battery-electric EQ cars and its more expensive AMG versions. A company representative said, “We think our current product line focuses more than ever on emotionally appealing design.” In this case, models with coupe-like lines, like the EQE and EQS, are attractive in style and price range. The AMG GT with four doors will still be available as a car with four doors.
