2014 MERCEDES BENZ CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 350 BlueTEC 9AT RWD (258 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake received a well-deserved facelift with some influences from its big brother, the S-Class. As any facelift that wants to play big, the refreshed model has a new frontal fascia, with improved bumper aerodynamics, LED headlights, new taillights, and a few other small external details. But the new Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake brought more technical innovations.

Since it had to comply with the new Euro 6 standards and had to bring more fuel-efficient engines, Mercedes-Benz installed a couple of four-cylinder turbodiesel engines in the CLS. The 2014 model was available with the 2.1-liter diesel unit in two power versions: a 170 hp with a single turbo for the 220 BlueTec version and 204 hp two-stage turbo for the 250 BlueTec, respectively. Also, a new gasoline engine was introduced: a 3.5-liter V6 biturbo with 333 hp, named the CLS 400. The latter two are also available with all-wheel-drive. The 9G-Tronic transmission is also new for CLS Shooting Brake, replacing the older 7 G-Tronic.

The COMMAND Online infotainment system is available as an option with an 8” display. As an option, the CLS Shooting Brake may be ordered with a Garmin MAP PILOT navigation system with the representation of streets and buildings and augmented reality for junctions and lane assistants. The new system also comes with a new Mercedes-Benz online support named “Mercedes connect me” with assistance for an emergency call, accidents, maintenance and breakdown management.
