The automaker calls it a five-door coupe, just like it called the original CLS a four-door coupe. The cargo area is lined with cherry wood floor, though carpet is also present. Aluminum loading rails are options.
Any of the four motivators are hooked up to a 7-speed automatic transmission. As usual, Mercedes-Benz will limit the top speed of all models to 155mph. An electro-mechanical power steering system is part of all CLS Shooting Brakes.
It's likely Mercedes will eventually add an AMG-tuned version to the line-up that will do battle with Cadillac's 556-horsepower CTS-V Wagon.
Shipping dates or pricing for the car hasn't yet been released, however. Unfortunately, the car isn't slated for sales in the U.S. due to the poor sales of station wagons, with buyers opting for SUVs instead.
