About the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
C216 generation (2007-2014), final year of the last CL-Class generation; this year follows the earlier facelift and closes out the model line.
The 2014 CL-Class is Mercedes-Benz’s top four-seat luxury coupe of its era: a big, pillarless two-door built for long highway trips, strong acceleration, and a hand-finished cabin. Mercedes positions it as a more personal alternative to the S-Class sedan, blending limousine-like comfort and safety technology with a more dramatic shape and, depending on trim, either smooth V12 luxury or AMG performance.
The 2014 CL-Class remains a four-seat luxury coupe offered in several distinct forms. The CL 550 4MATIC pairs a 429-hp twin-turbo V8 with all-wheel drive, while the CL 600 emphasizes smooth V12 power and ride comfort; the AMG versions turn up the performance, led by the 621-hp CL 65 AMG.
