I love driving in the rain. This was one of my best experience watching a car review. I felt totally immersed in it as if I was in the front passenger seat. Great review Thomas. Thank you! Muchas Graçias Señor!
I admire the determination of you guys to get these reviews done even under the miserable conditions. Regarding the car, I think Audi did a better job with the A7. I do like the vents with the illumination inside though. That’s probably the coolest feature in this car.
Yay! Another quality review has arrived! At the time when I decide to get a new car, I'm sure you will have a "millions" of reviews I can choose from when making a decision.
Hi . Infact YES in every way . New M5 is well balanced and beautifully powerful . I would still be happy driving the AMG though. M5 is more refined in my personal view. But i am not a fan of animal skin , I wish both could use more sustainable materials .
The all wheel drive is amazing . I drove in the snow and powered away from an old 525 rear wheel drive, I see that guys face in my mirror , He was like OMG
LEE AVISON but on exterior design, don’t you feel that the 2015-2017 cls63 has a more special, sleeker and beautiful sporty shape compared to even the new f90 m5? I’m sure both drive very well, but the design and sleekness with the 4 doors is what really gets me on that cls63 model. And it’s got AWD as well just like the new m5.
agree, especially on an amg. I am also not particularly fond of this russian doll approach to car design. It was bad when audi was doing this with exteriors, but now that this has been extended to interiors, it is getting out of hand.
Looks like Mercedes weakened the CLS' muscular lines and stance, discontinued the CLS63 in favor of making the new AMG GT 4 door coupe the high performAnce car. The interior on the new CLS model is indeed much nicer. Maybe Mercedes will surprise us in a year or two and offer an AMG CLS 63 4 Matic+ version. I do think Thomas your review was spot on and I sensed your disappointment in the car.
Je S I really do hope they release a proper AMG version of this car. These "half way house" AMGs are basically standard cars with some different badging, and a slight change to bodywork, and a few more horse power. Everybody knows this AMG is for women, old people and (relatively) poor men. BMW are doing the same. It devalues the motorsport brand. What a load of rubbish. If no CLS 63S, then I am moving over to another brand.
SATANIC WHOREMASTER No, not for poor people, but relatively less wealthy. This is a standard Mercedes. Standard Mercedes are massively overpriced "luxury" cars, poorly made, and sold to the middle classes. This is in essence one of those cars. True AMGs are based on these standard cars, but have racing engines, racing suspension, re-designed bodywork, and can be driven (and are driven) on racetracks by rich elitists. Mercedes are slowly destroying their brand - chasing the Dollar, but disregarding the true AMG fanatics. Short term financial gains / sales over long term AMG brand respectability and customer loyalty.
+Larry Kippings - good point. And you're right about 'rich is relative'! People see someone in a 911 and think they're rich. Relatively, possibly. And compared to me. But a £150k 911 is nothing compared to a £950k Sunseeker (in some marinas, the place is stuffed with these common things!). Or a £4.9m Sunseeker. Or a £70m Gulfstream. Or a £380m Superyacht. To the rich, a Chiron is nothing, they buy six of them. Ha! - Elitism and Elitists - well said, Larry!
Obviously none of you have ever had the CLS. You are talking about the C and the CLA. The CLS is between the E and the S. I is not going away. The AMG is the hand crafted engine - there will be a AMG CLS 63 and an AMG CLS 53. The 68 has the V-8 and is over 125K. The CLS 550 is 96K with the good options. Base price is $75 K.
Thanks for the excellent and informative review. Seeing the car in everyday driving rather than a pseudo-journalist showing off his driving skills is much more relevant and useful. Your review was thorough without going into intricate details going through every menu option.I appreciate your honesty regarding the seats. In fairness, MB seats have a lot of adjustments and you can often find a comfortable position. I was also surprised at your inference that the 2018 CLS has to be the worst rear seat versus the total length of car of all cars. Fortunately for you and I, then, we don't sit in the back seat! Well done on a great review. The camera work and sound was great too. Some of the YT comments regarding the direction the 2018 CLS has gone echoes the same comments when the 2010/11 (2nd Generation) version came out. I must admit, when I saw the 2nd Gen CLS I hated it. However, as a driver of a CLS Shooting Brake, I love how my car looks. The 2nd Gen CLS looked radically different because it ushered in a squarer, more muscular, angular style (or "design language" as they say). At the time, cars were very much soap bar shaped with rounded edges, which was especially true of Mercedes' cars. The 2nd Gen CLS is not very attractive in photos, but is actually very beautiful in reality, especially since most other manufacturers' cars followed the angular styling of Mercedes. Therefore, maybe, those who dislike this new CLS will love it in the metal. Mercedes with the 2018 3rd Gen CLS has regressed to closer the old 1st Gen CLS. I think once more Mercedes receive the new family "shark" grille with narrow headlamps and the other manufacturers copy the style, the 3rd Gen CLS will grow on everyone. Additionally, no-one does interiors like Mercedes. BMW's look dated and cheap, as do Audis. The new E-Class, S-Class and now this new CLS (and the 2014/5 C-Class) are leagues ahead of their rivals. My only lament is the demise of my beloved CLS Shooting Brake. No other car on the road gets the comments my CLS does, and I live where it's wall to wall Lamborghinis and Ferarris. Let's hope MB relents and makes a S-B version. The extra premium over the E-ClassEstate is worth it for the beauty, styling, and extra practicality. It's great to see the tech edge of MB is being touted as standard (in the UK market). Audi has a terrible habit of charging extra for things that are expected in even cheap runabouts. Mercedes had it's flirt with mediocrity when it foolishly joined with Chrysler. With these current cars that's very much a dim and distant nightmare. As there's no S-B, I'm probably leaning towards a GLE or S-Class, dependent on whether my wife is with me when I buy!
Personally I think the facelifted 2nd gen cls (2015-2017) was the most beautiful one they ever made, and a lot lot nicer than this new one due to the more aggressive styling it had on it. Combination of luxury and muscle in one well done.
So interesting to see the opinions on the styling. I LOVE the way this car looks. I love it so much, I leased this exact car. Same color, trim level, etc. I have summer tires, however. I may go for the M8 when my lease expires because of performance, but this car looks MUCH better than the BMW.
Noticed with the side profile the rear overhang seems to be quite long. If MB pushed the wheelbase a couple more inches back, I just think it would help in alleviating/adding some leg and headroom space for the rear seat passengers. Car has a lot of presence and the dash/cabin is very modern, very high end. As always a top review Thomas.
I'm really looking forward to the new S-class. Also, thank you Thomas and the Autogefühl team for this amazing work. And as I always you have to watch the video in full screen, full HD and full length.
Great review! Surprised about the back seat headroom space though. This car was on my list as a daily, but now I'm inclining more towards E class coupe.
In a crime ridden area the release of the rear seats from inside the boot is an excellent idea (as long as the boot doesn't open from the cabin when the car is locked). Loved that feature in my 2008 Elantra.
I really love your videos guys. Excellent work as always. As for the new CLS, I was really looking forward for a replacement of my current CLS, but I don’t think I am putting my money on any of the German brands in the near future.
Yup previous generation cls especially with the facelift kills this in design. More beautiful and aggressive at the same time and more road presence I’m sure
They should have renamed this car as the CLE to fit the new naming structure that MB has. A, CLA, GLA, C, GLC, E, "CLE", GLE, S, GLS Calling it CLS makes it seem like a 4 dour coupe version of the S Class rather than the E. Calling it CLE would give the upcoming AMG GT more room in the higher end bracket too.
I couldn't bare to watch the part with the doors open and rain entering in. I fast forwarded till you got in and closed the doors :)) Otherwise, excellent review, as always!
Hi Thomas!!! I completely enjoyed your car reviews all the time! You have this very soothing/calm voice and you definitely say what you want to say (good/bad) about the car! I hope you can do a complete/extensive review of the all new Rolls Royce Phantom VIII... As you would say: " In full hd, full screen, full X"
As usual, Thomas' reviews never disappoint! :) There is something "weird" on the car looking from the side: there is a lot of "rear overhang", I mean, the rear axle is too forward compared to the end of the trunk...
Very good Thomas .. Nice quiet and Detailed Review as always . I always Prefer for 200% a very direct Steering ..Very Low Movement on the steering wheel but immediate strong Response of the Car,a nice Heavy Feel to it. Plus that the Rol should be down to 0. That's my kind of ideal Car Driving .. I Love driving in the Rain .. it Relaxes me a Lot with the grey Air and easygoing driving .
Looks lovely. I want to see the back in real life. I have a feeling it'll look amazing in real life. People didn't like the rear of the first CLS. It ended up looking amazing.
The definition of a coupe is a car with a cut roof or low roof, so i'd say yes in this case as it's clear to see that the CLS has a very low roof and shallow greenhouse.
Hi Thomas, i really like your car reviews. Well done and continue the good work. The back of the CLS is not really well done. I prefer the S7 in general.
Great review, Thomas on a good car. I just don't like the dash display surround. It is far too square and looks very 1970s. It should be made more curvier so that it can match the external design of the car.
Good review informative. I like function over form so personally see no point in a huge car with little space. So many coupes are like that. I would rather have a saloon Thanks
Beautiful tech. esp. the hybrid. I would have like to see a side-by-side (at least in the parking lot) of a nice 2006 cls 55 to show where we've come from, maybe comparing length and weight as well as shots of the different AMG interior spaces. There is definitely an evolution going on now towards all-electric which is partially responsible for the tamer beast we see here.
One vehicle where Mercedes' design approach of crease-less bodywork doesn't pay off. A little too plain. The rear seat space is somewhat to be expected. Mercedes' isn't making this vehicle to be roomy and accommodating for rear-seat passengers, very similar to a regular E-Class Coupe, just with easier rear-seat access with doors. If you want rear seat space, you get the E-Class sedan. It wouldn't make sense for the CLS to have accommodating rear-seat space as it would make it redundant with the E-Class sedan. In comparison, the A7 has a bit more knee room, but the headroom is about comparable though the last A7 that was reviewed didn't have a sunroof or anything to take away ceiling space like this CLS does.
Nice review. I live in this area and I know this road very well. I'm pretty sure he scored the speed camera at 28:00, you can clearly see the taxi driver braking to the 100 km/h speed limit for the camera above and he passes it through at 120 km/h.
Great review as usual. I’m not so sure about this new design language on the CLS. Exterior wise I think the outgoing generation is sharper looking. I also think the new E class looks better than this CLS. It kind of looks like an egg and the light design used to be very elegant and I just see generic head and taillights now.

Autogefühl I'm so excited for this car!
I feel that it's kind of a let down compared to the E-class sedan, coupe and the Audi A7. Best thing about it is the lights in the air vent!
How do you like the car compared to E43? I suppose the car would feel heavier due to hybrid system.
If I'm getting this car, I'd get CLS 400. Guess it's expensive. Just saw the E43 today. The sound that comes out of it is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!
I have a question for Thomas. Is the normal CLS seats more comfy than the AMG version's seats?
I don't think I've ever watched a car review in the rain, much respect -- The paint looks fantastic in this setting
:-)
The rain makes this review kinda ... classy 👌🏽
I love driving in the rain. This was one of my best experience watching a car review. I felt totally immersed in it as if I was in the front passenger seat. Great review Thomas. Thank you! Muchas Graçias Señor!
gracias! :)

appreciated!
Having waited for this so long. Thank you Thomas ! Greatly appreciate
What have they done with the rear...Old Cls was a beauty
Dane Exactly.
More like, what have they done with the whole car... I find the whole exterior ugly and cheap looking
The 2015+ cls was so gorgeous, and way nicer than this new one.
Red 2847 Yes, I will be keeping my 2016 for many years now.
The first cls was the best, then it got worse and worse :D
It looks so much better without those rear fender "humps" . . it's so clean and contemporary now. Nice review, Thomas!
Yay! Another quality review has arrived! At the time when I decide to get a new car, I'm sure you will have a "millions" of reviews I can choose from when making a decision.
Great Review - and excellent driving part Thomas - many thanks as always. I missed the Sailing Boat! "...mixed it in the house!" Really good work.
Wow. The best looking Mercedes from the current lineup. Amazing. Not even appalling weather can stop you Thomas. Thumbs up. :D
You have full filled my knowledge again about this car like others , thank you .
High quality review as always!
Very nice work as always. Nothing can't stop you not even the weather. Keep going
Been waiting for this...great video man !!
Fantastic and honest review as always
Loved the comprehensive presentation.
Only Thomas can make a exceptional car review in the rain. OUTSTANDING !
👍👍👍
This attempt to create design cohesion between model ranges in the newest line up has killed the beautiful and distinct styling of the CLS
GrouchOsa yup last gen way nicer than this one
I really like how you explain everything about all the details with fun way . A big respect Thomas
glad u joined us!
Another great video Thomas!! I got to admit I don't think this new CLS looks that good.
Great video Thomas , I was lucky enough to drive the brand new BMW M5 earlier this week and also that 640GT .Was pretty epic
LEE AVISON do you like the new m5 better than the 2017 cls63 amg?
Hi . Infact YES in every way . New M5 is well balanced and beautifully powerful . I would still be happy driving the AMG though. M5 is more refined in my personal view. But i am not a fan of animal skin , I wish both could use more sustainable materials .

I’m sure both drive very well, but the design and sleekness with the 4 doors is what really gets me on that cls63 model. And it’s got AWD as well just like the new m5.

The 2015-2017 cls also has a much nicer design. Those ones were actually very beautiful on the exterior design with the facelift changes they got.
@@av8743 What do you think of the 2011-2014 version? Pre facelift second edition that is.
love the way test drive had been videoed . Video quality is gr8 too !
👌
Great review. Thanks!
I kinda missed the original one-armed windshield wiper, don't know why Mercedes gave it up. Great review, Thomas📣
thx!
I used to be a CLS fan. But this car......The exterior is so terrible.
Evan Zhang it's a disaster also the designer will mess up CLS shooting brake as well
This review is so Amazing, thank you Thomas!
The best car reviewer in the world 🙌🏻🙌🏻 btw i love driving in the rain 🌧
Where are the aggressive shoulder, front & headlights of the previous CLS ? This is a weak design period.
Said Azizi it I the past with all the previous generation models who shared that aggressive design. They have moved on.
Did you like the previous gen rear end and tail light design better than this new one as well?
I agree overall last one looked WAY sexier.
Looks like Mercedes weakened the CLS' muscular lines and stance, discontinued the CLS63 in favor of making the new AMG GT 4 door coupe the high performAnce car. The interior on the new CLS model is indeed much nicer. Maybe Mercedes will surprise us in a year or two and offer an AMG CLS 63 4 Matic+ version.

I LOVE the way this car looks. I love it so much, I leased this exact car. Same color, trim level, etc. I have summer tires, however.
I may go for the M8 when my lease expires because of performance, but this car looks MUCH better than the BMW.
i just can't get the new design language!!
Damnit Thomas! Your reviews are like UA-cam Cat videos. Highly addictive! :-)
:-)
What the hell they done with the inside room spaces. Almost 5 meters and VW POLO has more space.
that's right
They just gave up on the rear end :(
its like an A class and a C class had a stretched baby
I totally agree!
Great to see you stay so cheerful in such hooible weather, Great car by the way
Don’t like the way Mercedes is going with design. Still lack of space on the back is terrible!
they forgot the buttocks workout
It's a cls. if you want space in the back, buy an E class
you mean like 2015 model CLS looks better than the new one?
yes exactly that.
It needs the ass of the first edition, then it's perfect!
Thank you for this video! Greaty appreciated
Amazing Mercedes AMG CLS 53! Jst the perfect car!
Thomas thanks very very very BIG for the best videos u always uploaded. GREETINGS FROM Namibia Windhoek.
in your service!
sehr gutes Review, und schön zu hören, das ihr auch Kritik direkt äußert
Vielen Dank bleib bei uns!
Fantastic review. Love the interior, very concept car looking. But that interior space, wow you looked really cramped sitting in it.
great to have u here!
Whatever else Mercedes does, they do Interiors very well.
Great review.
for the honesty, thumb up~~~
cheers!
Noticed with the side profile the rear overhang seems to be quite long. If MB pushed the wheelbase a couple more inches back, I just think it would help in alleviating/adding some leg and headroom space for the rear seat passengers.
Car has a lot of presence and the dash/cabin is very modern, very high end.
As always a top review Thomas.
cheers!
nice video from Thomas again!!!
Thank you M8
Even on the AMG version, there is fake exhaust tips. One thing that I wish would just go away forever.
They aren't fake they are like extension.
41:19 really nice how it changes the map from night to day, missed it the first time I watched the review.
As Thomas stated the seating in the CLS is cramped for 6foot drivers. Why does mercedes make the CLS so uncomfortable for taller drivers.
I'm really looking forward to the new S-class. Also, thank you Thomas and the Autogefühl team for this amazing work. And as I always you have to watch the video in full screen, full HD and full length.
Sorry, I thought I saw a 4-door Mustang in the thumbnail...
Previous gen looked way more hot
This CLS is very well designed.
Till Lindemann not even close to the 2017 model imo
Awesome review Thomas.
"Michel mixed it in the house yo, the temperature DJ...." This is too much. I can't keep up with all the clever phrases Thomas is creating.
lol ;-)
Great review! Surprised about the back seat headroom space though.
This car was on my list as a daily, but now I'm inclining more towards E class coupe.
I just love this channel!
welcome !
damn good review.
Good review by AUTOGEFUEHL
The CLS is my favourite Mercedes
thanks keep joining us!
Autogefühl I have click the button Bell 👍😉
Nice ride, but the biggest concern for me is the lack of space and especially headspace in this car. For me a let down since i'm 1.90m tall.
In a crime ridden area the release of the rear seats from inside the boot is an excellent idea (as long as the boot doesn't open from the cabin when the car is locked). Loved that feature in my 2008 Elantra.
I really love your videos guys. Excellent work as always. As for the new CLS, I was really looking forward for a replacement of my current CLS, but I don’t think I am putting my money on any of the German brands in the near future.
why not
Because it is ugly.
Yup previous generation cls especially with the facelift kills this in design.
More beautiful and aggressive at the same time and more road presence I’m sure
They should have renamed this car as the CLE to fit the new naming structure that MB has.
A, CLA, GLA, C, GLC, E, "CLE", GLE, S, GLS
Calling it CLS makes it seem like a 4 dour coupe version of the S Class rather than the E. Calling it CLE would give the upcoming AMG GT more room in the higher end bracket too.
Hi Thomas, great review! Just one thing, in 19:39 you said MCT but it's actually a TCT gearbox ;)
Thanks!
Uh, so TCT is a converter afaik
I couldn't bare to watch the part with the doors open and rain entering in. I fast forwarded till you got in and closed the doors :))
Otherwise, excellent review, as always!
Well MB you finally ffffd the CLS up for good !
Hi Thomas!!! I completely enjoyed your car reviews all the time! You have this very soothing/calm voice and you definitely say what you want to say (good/bad) about the car! I hope you can do a complete/extensive review of the all new Rolls Royce Phantom VIII... As you would say: " In full hd, full screen, full X"
love to hear that - stick to us!
Great review as always. Don't like the new design though.
Billy Bob yea previous one way nicer
As usual, Thomas' reviews never disappoint! :)
There is something "weird" on the car looking from the side: there is a lot of "rear overhang", I mean, the rear axle is too forward compared to the end of the trunk...
thanks 4 tuning in!
One of the many reasons once again as to why the previous 2017 cls has a much nicer design to this new one.
What's wrong with Mercedes....design is ....
Awesome video! Can you please make a review on the e class all terrain
I've tried and tried and hoping it will grow on me but, the design of those tail lights i just cannot look at them it makes me puke
Very good Thomas .. Nice quiet and Detailed Review as always . I always Prefer for 200% a very direct Steering ..Very Low Movement on the steering wheel but immediate strong Response of the Car,a nice Heavy Feel to it. Plus that the Rol should be down to 0. That's my kind of ideal Car Driving .. I Love driving in the Rain .. it Relaxes me a Lot with the grey Air and easygoing driving .

My my my...Mercedes really fked up this CLS...I’ll go with the new A7 on this one...
Hi Thomas, i really like your car reviews. Well done and continue the good work. The back of the CLS is not really well done. I prefer the S7 in general.
thanks Norbert !!
Norbert Hoffmann previous gen was a beauty especially with the facelift
Great review, Thomas on a good car. I just don't like the dash display surround. It is far too square and looks very 1970s. It should be made more curvier so that it can match the external design of the car.
thanks, stay with us!
the rear-end is lazy and weak
Jaroslav Záruba I assume they did it on purpose so everybody has to buy the new AmG GT4 instead.
kraenk12 stupid logic. 😂
Sadly, you're right.
Good review informative. I like function over form so personally see no point in a huge car with little space. So many coupes are like that. I would rather have a saloon Thanks
Beautiful tech. esp. the hybrid. I would have like to see a side-by-side (at least in the parking lot) of a nice 2006 cls 55 to show where we've come from, maybe comparing length and weight as well as shots of the different AMG interior spaces. There is definitely an evolution going on now towards all-electric which is partially responsible for the tamer beast we see here.
Best car review channel , fan from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴👍🏻🥃
great u are with us!
Can’t understand it either. The rest is beautiful but those tail lights are terrible.
Which one would you choose if compare to amg e43?
Very cool color and great reviews as always Thomas ! Always liked the CLS design, but the place in the backseat will always be it's biggest drawback.
thanks tore!
Tore Hansen previous gen was a beauty especially with the facelift
One vehicle where Mercedes' design approach of crease-less bodywork doesn't pay off. A little too plain. The rear seat space is somewhat to be expected. Mercedes' isn't making this vehicle to be roomy and accommodating for rear-seat passengers, very similar to a regular E-Class Coupe, just with easier rear-seat access with doors. If you want rear seat space, you get the E-Class sedan. It wouldn't make sense for the CLS to have accommodating rear-seat space as it would make it redundant with the E-Class sedan. In comparison, the A7 has a bit more knee room, but the headroom is about comparable though the last A7 that was reviewed didn't have a sunroof or anything to take away ceiling space like this CLS does.
From around 35:35 the passenger side is fogging up around the windscreen. Did you have the AC on ECO or is the climate control so weak?
seemed a little weak
Those speaker grills look amazing at 23:53
Nice review.
I live in this area and I know this road very well. I'm pretty sure he scored the speed camera at 28:00, you can clearly see the taxi driver braking to the 100 km/h speed limit for the camera above and he passes it through at 120 km/h.
I think the limit just started at that point
Now that is a beautiful car!!!!!!
I would never buy a performance car with fake exhaust tips! That’s lame
That goes for most mercedes models...
This car does not have fake exhaust tips.
Great detail review from Thomas! How about the New G class review?

And driving review in a couple of month
Nice car! Thanks for the video ;)
I want to watch Thomas’s review on new Audi Q3
Very nice video! Congrats!
I like the sound of the inline six.
Great review as usual. I’m not so sure about this new design language on the CLS. Exterior wise I think the outgoing generation is sharper looking. I also think the new E class looks better than this CLS. It kind of looks like an egg and the light design used to be very elegant and I just see generic head and taillights now.
what about comparing new E class to previous gen CLS?
I wouldnt be surprised if some may say CLS over that for exterior design
