The overview
The CL is the coupe version of the stately S-Class luxury sedan and is just as fast, comfortable and luxurious. The standard active suspension endows the car with a comfortable ride, and handling is agile with restrained body roll and direct, communicative steering. This big two-door allows two adults to sit comfortably in the back. The 5.0-liter V8 supplies abundance of acceleration while the more powerful CL55 and CL600 are even faster. The car comes with the latest in safety and high-tech features. The 2007 redesign brought a 5.5-liter V8 and a twin-turbo V12, and standard AWD in the CL550.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
