Overview & Reviews

For the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, the CL550 gains all-wheel drive; it's now the only drive configuration available for that trim. The CL550 also includes standard keyless ignition and entry and heated and ventilated front seats. All CL-Class models now have gearshift paddles in place of gearshift buttons, as well as a hill-hold braking function.

• Strong performance, top-notch luxury features and interior materials, leading-edge safety features, majestic presence.

• Too heavy and isolated for enthusiasts, long doors make ingress and egress difficult in tight parking spaces.

  way overpriced - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
  By mercedes fanatic - November 20 - 12:23 am

  Bought the car for my mom, who liked the styling. Paid $117K. Later bought a 2009 S550 4Matic for myself. $102K. The sedan is miles better than the CL550 in comfort, ride and value. The CL is essentially a short wheel based SClass with a differt body. It should NOT cost more than the sedan; and resale values show this. The CL has the worst resale of any Mercedes. Dont get me wrong; the CL is a great car. But it should be priced $40k less.

  I love it - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
  By Philip Press - August 14 - 9:26 pm

  Looking for a beautiful, proportional, coupe that can comfortably accommodate 4 people narrowed the field considerably. Then I saw and became enthralled with this impressive auto. With the AMG appearance package, the upgrade to premium package 2 and adaptive cruise control, night vision, etc. I bought it. Impressive...far more that a four door sedan. Beautiful. Powerful, responsive (there arent many roads that allow drivers to "push cars to the limit". Flawless and wonderful to come up to, open its large easy to enter doors and then have the interior be even better than the exterior. Expensive... yes. Worth it? Absolutely. This could be a lifetime auto. Truly wonderful. Truly...

  The Uber car! - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
  By GP - July 10 - 6:10 pm

  Phenomenal vehicle! Total pleasure to drive even after nine years. I still get asked about it by strangers. Be aware that under warranty ( i got an extended warranty) repair and maintenance is OK. It is extremely expensive to repair outside the warranty.
