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.

  Performance and Looks! CLS 550 Review - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By M - September 9 - 8:33 pm

  Really hard to find any faults in this car. Torque and power will surpass just about anything out there. Ordered mine with every option including AMG package. Really finishes off the car. Includes paddle shifters, AMG exhaust, and AMG styled aprons and trim. Put it in Sport 2, turn off the traction control, and put it in manual mode. Thats when you can really see what this car is all about. 18 inch staggered wheels really grip the road and corner effortlessly. MB really has outdone themselves with this years CLS. Can only imagine the power of the CLS63. But this one has plenty!

  Shockingly Underwhelmed - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By trinacria - August 1 - 7:36 am

  Ive owned 10 vehicles over the last 25 years and the CLS550 is unquestionably the biggest disappointment. Bottom line - Ive got an $80,000+ luxury vehicle with all the bells and whistles that drives like a 1972 Fiat. Despite being in the shop 3 times in the first 90 days, the vehicle continues to violently rattle and vibrate, the "premium sound system" sounds like a transistor radio, and the "climate controlled seats" are nothing more than a weak fan with an imperceptable effect. Two thumbs down!

  Great 4 Door Coupe - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By karl_md - July 28 - 2:30 pm

  I just took possession of my 2007 Iridium Grey on black leather CLS550. The combination of power, comfort and style surpass any vehicle out there. If youre looking for a family sedan, this is not the car for you. But if you like the appearance and performance of a coupe with the pragmatism of a 4-door sedan, you are in for a pleasant susprise. The 7-speed automatic is perfectly matched to the new 5.5 Liter V8, with perfect compromise between fuel economy and performance. At the same time, with ADS, one can ride in comfort without the harshness of an overly firm sport suspension

  Glad I finally stepped up and purchased! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By holiday - February 16 - 7:56 pm

  I recently purchased the CLS550 Iridium Silver / Blk interior / AMG package. This car is an absolute blast to drive! There is plenty of torque in the sport mode and not sure where anyone could benefit from the 507 HP engine. I’ve owned it just 2 weeks and have 2 speeding tickets to show for it— performance is just intoxicating. The car has a stunning exterior style and resembles nothing else on the road.

  Love everything about it. - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Nina - November 12 - 7:50 pm

  I went in the dealership planning to trade in my MB for the E350 until I spotted the CLS550 in the showroom. I didnt bother checking out the E350. Im so happy I got the CLS550. The car handles the road very well. Everyone stares at the car when youre on the road. Its a beauty! Its sporty and classy at the same time.

  Couldnt Be More Pleased - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Joel - October 12 - 8:03 am

  In the past I have owned multiple BMWs, Lexus, Accura, Infinities, and other Mercedes models and this is by far the best of the best. The car is extremely stylish, has incredible power, great handling and is just all around fun to drive. There are some sacrifices in rear head room for style but I gladly accept those sacrifices (not like I am back there anyway). This vehicle takes the stuffiness out of the larger luxury sedans and adds style and class that may not be for everyone. Suits me perfectly. The console controls are more intuitive than others (iDrive) and the packages offered combine a good set of features.

  More fun than I expected - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By car shopper - September 28 - 3:13 am

  The CLS550 has both more power AND more room than I expected. An absolute BLAST to drive and the back seat is more spacious than it looks. It has a low roof line but it opens up once you get in the back seat. The front is totally spacious. Handles much better than the BMW 545, 550 and 750. I have owned a 750i and it was too big and made me feel old. The CLS turns heads and puts you in the back of the seat when you hit the pedal.

  CLS 550 07 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Vijil - September 7 - 3:13 pm

  CLS 550 is truly a fun car to drive. Airmatic DC (air suspension), by all means is the best. The ride is smooth and sporty at the same time. Airmatic will automatically lower the suspension at highway speeds to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle. CLS has a very powerful engine, enough power for most people. I can only wonder what the 63 & 65 (AMG) has to offer in terms of power. The car is so unique in terms of its exterior styling, there is nothing like it on the road. The audio, Harmon Kardon/ Logic 7, has exceptional sound quality. CLS is a beauty with the beast inside.

  Much better - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By jwo - May 16 - 5:53 pm

  It is about time that this beautiful sedan has the performance to match its racy looks. For the past year I had been wanting a CLS but found it performance to weak for a sedan of this class. However, when I heard that for 07 MB was putting a larger engine with 80 more hp in, it sealed my decision. This car is perfect and get so many looks while crusing down the road. The interior is beautifully appointed. I am very pleased.
