2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-class Wagon / Shooting Brake Spy Future Cars

Mercedes-Benz has long acknowledged That Such a version of the CLS Will be built, and the shots here show two versions of the car: The gray car is equipped with the AMG appearance package (standard on the CLS550 sold here), while the white features regular car fascias and the odd, aero-focused 17-inch wheels from the European-market CLS250 CDI.
(Besides the odd spelling, that car also took liberties with the layout; wagons shooting brakes are traditionallybased on coupes, and features two side doors.) Next to the Audi A7 and its faster hatchback, the CLS veers decidedly Towards the station-wagon side, with a shorter and more upright rear window and hatch.
Besides the 402-hp CLS550 (Called CLS500 there), the European market also gets the choice of the 302-hp CLS350 and the diesel-powered CLS350 CDI (262 hp) and CLS250 CDI (201 hp). Production of the CLS wagon-We expect it Will be Called the Shooting Brake in spite of its extra doors-will start next year in Sindelfingen, Germany, alongside the regular CLS, the E-and S-Class, the CL, the SLS AMG , and the occasional Maybach.
