Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake 350 CDI


Sorry I haven't been posting lately, it's because my internet connection has been really bad lately so I couldn't access my blog.

If what you want is a car that looks good, goes quickly and will get your kids to school without being moaned at by the eco-mentalists, then this is the car for you. The Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake.

Mercedes-Benz has taken practicality, good looks, speed and luxury with the CLS Shooting Brake. Whilst it can reach a top speed of 155MPH it can also do 47.1 MPG, making this car quick and fairly economical. The CLS 350 comes with a V6 engine costing around £53,000. If you don't want the CLS 350 you have the option of a 250 CDI costing around £50,000 and a 6.3 AMG CLS costing about £83,000. If your budget won't stretch to that cost you could try the slightly cheaper E 63 AMG costing £75,250, but if fast elegance is what you’re after, you should stick to the CLS 63 AMG, although both of them will send your dog hurtling to the back of the boot.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake 350 CDI doesn’t have many rivals because this is one of the first 5 door coupe estates, but if it did, it would most likely rival it's sibling, the E-class estate or the BMW 5-series touring. Although if you want a rival to the CLS Shooting Brake that is slightly more understated than any of these choices, you should go for the Audi A6 Avant.

Therefore, if you want a car that gets you around in style but you can also sling your dogs into the back of, get the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake.












Two diesels are available – this 3.0-litre V6 is our pick of them
