Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 4-Door Coupé (C219)

The C219 CLS was Mercedes-Benz's first four-door coupé — a saloon-derived shape that traded conventional three-box proportions for a lowered roofline and frameless side glass, and in doing so invented a segment.

Based on the E-Class platform but styled as something entirely distinct, the first-generation CLS offered six-cylinder and V8 petrol engines, diesel alternatives, and AMG models including the CLS 55 AMG and CLS 63 AMG. The concept was simple: the presence of an S-Class, the footprint of an E-Class, and a silhouette unlike either.

Produced from 2004 to 2010, the C219 CLS established a body style Mercedes-Benz — and eventually its rivals — would return to again and again. It was proof that the executive saloon could be reinterpreted without losing credibility.
