Overview & Reviews

This four-door "coupe" from Mercedes-Benz, known as the CLS, gets more power for 2007, its sophomore year. The standard model becomes the CLS550. The number change indicates the V8 is now a 5.5-liter unit. It delivers 382 horsepower, 80 more than the output of last year's V8. Additionally, the high-performance CLS63 AMG replaces last year's CLS55 AMG and brings more power as well -- 507 hp compared to the previous 469 hp. Newly standard are a Harman Kardon premium audio system (with six-disc CD changer) and Mercedes' "PreSafe" collision-mitigation system.

• Sharp and sexy exterior design, handles like a smaller car, smooth and potent V8s.

• Sleek lines make getting in back a little awkward, headroom tight in back for taller passengers, complicated control interface.

  Just Being Honest - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Mike - January 3 - 10:33 am

  Bought the car in Aug of 07. I bought the car as a weekend car and pretty much only drive it on the weekends. the car is very powerful and very fun to drive. The tranny is a little jerky at low speeds. The exhuast note is lovely and the looks of the cars is stunning. I have had both women and men tell me the car is sexy. The car is definitely an eye turner and the stop light to stop light power is heart pumping! This car will get you into trouble real quick! I hope you enjoy it if you decide to buy!

  Concens with engine - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Slo Mo - December 14 - 11:53 am

  I purchased this car 2 weeks ago and Ive already had to return to the dealership for a oil leak. The car only has 30,890 miles and for it to have a leak is really concerning. I love the car but the oil leak really bothers me. Im disappointed so far because the car runs great but my confidence is a little shaken at the moment.

  30 year Benz driver rates this one #1 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By William R Phillips - October 24 - 6:50 am

  This is my 31st Mercedes and I think it may well be the best. I did not bother with the AMG because the power is simply awesome without the 507 hp engine. The 382 suits me fine. Rarely do I use the back seat so I have no comment on its comfort level, but I love the styling and feel of the car. I have owned most models of MB during the years and have always craved the sportiness of the SL and the comfort of the S. Here I have what I have always wanted.

  2007 CLS 550 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By jerry - October 11 - 2:16 pm

  I owned a 2006 and traded it in to get the 2007. The added horsepower/torque and changes to the brake system were enough to make me buy the 07. The added horesepower and torque is very noticeable. Other than that it is the same car as the 06.

  CLS550 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Brian - July 17 - 11:13 am

  I ordered the CLS550 for my wife and waited 3 months for delivery from Germany. It is beyond our wildest dreams. The new 380 horse power engine and new computerized hydraulic brakes are just what it needed. I have owned many cars but nothing combines looks and performance like this. I am puzzled why so many people bought the old CLS500 with only 302 horse power, and electric brakes. I am glad we waited for the new 550!

  MB styling at its best - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By John Li - June 14 - 6:43 am

  In terms of styling, I have never been a fan of MB. This CLS 550 has changed my perception. This great looking vehicle shines like a star among others whether they are MB or its competition. Interior layout and quality are classy and luxurious with the excpetion of the cup holders which interferes with the shift stick. The new 382 horsepower V8 engine is world class and more responsive than the 06 model. Power is instantly available when needed. The drive is silky smooth. Back seats are surprisingly spacious considering this is a coupe with 2 extra doors added. Definitely 1 of the best German automobiles available currently.
