The 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake received a well-deserved facelift with some influences from its big brother, the S-Class. As any facelift that wants to play big, the refreshed model has a new frontal fascia, with improved bumper aerodynamics, LED headlights, new taillights, and a few other small external details. But the new Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake brought more technical innovations.

The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS was offered as a shooting brake as well. It was the natural evolution from a four-door coupe.

Creating a performance vehicle was already an easy task for Mercedes-Benz when it had the AMG department in its courtyard, but making it different was a different story.
