The CLS 350 opened Mercedes-Benz Australia's first-generation CLS range in its final year on sale here, and it is the version that defined the four-door-coupe idea before every rival copied it. Under the bonnet is a 3,498cc V6 making 200kW and 350Nm through a seven-speed automatic to the rear wheels, for a claimed 11.0 L/100km combined on 95 RON and 263g/km of CO2 from an 80-litre tank. Standard equipment was generous even by 2010 luxury standards: full leather, COMAND APS with hard-drive navigation and voice control, a twelve-speaker Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 surround system with subwoofer, electrically adjustable and memory front seats, an electrically adjustable steering column, multi-zone THERMOTRONIC climate with separate rear controls, Bi-Xenon headlamps with active cornering light and washers, PARKTRONIC front and rear, PRE-SAFE, NECK-PRO active head restraints and a full-size spare. Two things this listing cannot show: Mercedes-Benz Australia published no mass, dimension or boot figure in this document family, and the sheet's optional-equipment matrix uses symbol marks that cannot be read reliably, so options are shown as no data rather than guessed.

The CLS 500 was the V8 middle rung of Mercedes-Benz Australia's run-out first-generation CLS, and the one that added the hardware the 350 charged for. Its 5,461cc V8 makes 285kW and 530Nm through a seven-speed automatic to the rear wheels, at a claimed 12.8 L/100km combined on 95 RON and 304g/km of CO2. Over the CLS 350 it adds AIRMATIC DC semi-active adjustable air suspension, a glass electric sunroof with tilt and slide, heated front seats, multi-contour front backrests and its own 18-inch five twin-spoke wheels, on top of an already deep standard list that includes full leather, COMAND APS with hard-drive navigation, a twelve-speaker Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 system, memory front seats, Bi-Xenon headlamps with cornering light, PARKTRONIC, PRE-SAFE and NECK-PRO active head restraints.

The CLS 63 AMG closed out the first-generation CLS in Australia with the naturally aspirated 6,208cc AMG V8, making 378kW and 630Nm through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic with Comfort, Sport and Manual modes. It drinks accordingly, at a claimed 14.5 L/100km combined and 345g/km on 98 RON. The AMG hardware list is long: AMG high-performance brakes, AMG sports suspension built on AIRMATIC DC adjustable air suspension, an AMG sports exhaust with twin chrome tailpipes, 19-inch five tri-spoke alloys, AMG Nappa leather sports seats with heating and ventilation, an AMG instrument cluster with RACETIMER, KEYLESS-GO, DISTRONIC intelligent cruise control and an anti-theft alarm with motion sensor and tow-away protection. One deliberate omission is documented in the sheet itself: the cornering light function that comes with the Bi-Xenon headlamps is not available on this grade, so we record that as a genuine absence rather than a blank. Mercedes-Benz Australia published no mass, dimension or boot figure for this generation. ANCAP has no rating on record.

The CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY launched the second-generation C218 CLS in Australia in April 2011, and it is a markedly different car from the first-generation CLS 350 it replaced: the same 3,498cc displacement but direct injection, 225kW and 370Nm instead of 200kW and 350Nm, and the 7G-TRONIC PLUS seven-speed automatic. Standard equipment moved on just as far. It arrives with the LED Intelligent Light System, adaptive high beam, a reversing camera, Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST fatigue detection, PRE-SAFE, eleven airbags including a driver knee bag, three-zone THERMOTRONIC climate control, a glass electric sunroof, COMAND APS with a 7-inch display and hard-drive navigation, a Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround system, memory front seats and 18-inch alloys. One gap is the document's own doing: Mercedes-Benz Australia printed the literal text TBC where this grade's fuel consumption and CO2 figures belong, so those fields are blank rather than estimated. The sheet also publishes no mass, dimension or boot figure. ANCAP has no rating on record.

The CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY is the sleeper of the 2011 C218 range and the only grade on that year's Australian specification sheet with complete fuel figures. Its 2,987cc direct-injection turbo-diesel V6 makes 195kW but a substantial 620Nm, and paired with the 7G-TRONIC PLUS seven-speed automatic it returns a claimed 6.2 L/100km combined and 163g/km of CO2 from an 80-litre tank, which for a car of this size and pace is remarkable. Equipment matches the petrol CLS 350 exactly, because Mercedes-Benz Australia published one combined standard-equipment list for both: LED Intelligent Light System with adaptive high beam, reversing camera, Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, ATTENTION ASSIST, PRE-SAFE, eleven airbags including a driver knee bag, three-zone THERMOTRONIC climate, a glass electric sunroof, COMAND APS with hard-drive navigation and a 7-inch display, Harman Kardon Logic 7 audio and memory front seats.

The CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY brought the downsized bi-turbo V8 to the second-generation CLS in Australia: 4,663cc where the old naturally aspirated V8 was 5,461cc, and yet 300kW and 600Nm against 285kW and 530Nm. It is also the grade where the C218's safety technology steps up. Over the CLS 350 it adds DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise with PRE-SAFE brake, Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist, which intervene rather than merely warn, plus KEYLESS-GO, AIRMATIC electronically controlled damping, luxury front seats with cooling ventilation and heating, an electric rear-window blind, remote boot-lid closing, brushed stainless sports pedals, an anti-theft package with tow-away protection and interior motion sensor, AMG front and rear aprons and 19-inch alloys. As with the other petrol grade, Mercedes-Benz Australia printed TBC where the fuel and CO2 figures belong on this sheet, so those fields are blank rather than estimated, and the document carries no mass, dimension or boot figure.

It uses the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT seven-speed transmission with the AMG DRIVE UNIT and E-SELECT lever, AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension, a wider-track AMG front axle, AMG Direct-Steer electromechanical steering, the AMG high-performance braking system, three-stage ESP with On, Sport and Off settings, an AMG sports exhaust with chromed twin tailpipes and AMG-specific LED daytime running lights. Inside it adds AMG sports seats, active multi-contour backrests, an AMG performance steering wheel, an AMG instrument cluster with RACETIMER and Nappa leather, on top of the CLS 500's DISTRONIC PLUS, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and KEYLESS-GO. It takes 98 RON. The sheet publishes no mass, dimension or boot figure. ANCAP has no rating on record.

The CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY was the diesel backbone of the second-generation CLS range in Australia through 2012, and the Mercedes-Benz Australia technical-data page for that year is the first Australian document to publish what the car actually weighs and how much it holds. The 2,987cc turbo-diesel V6 makes 195kW at 3,800rpm and 620Nm from 1,600rpm, reaching 100km/h in 6.2 seconds and running to an electronically limited 210km/h, while claiming 6.2 L/100km and 163g/km from an 80-litre tank. It is rated to a 2,300kg gross vehicle mass, turns in 11.27 metres, has a drag coefficient of 0.28 and takes 520 litres of luggage on the VDA measure with a 100kg roof load limit. It runs staggered 18-inch rubber, 255/40 front and 285/35 rear, on ventilated and perforated front discs with ventilated rears. Equipment is shown as no data because this page publishes none, and the kerb weight it does print is the European driver-inclusive measure we deliberately do not store.

The CLS 250 CDI arrived in Australia as the efficiency play in the second-generation CLS range, and on paper it is the standout of the line. A 2,143cc four-cylinder turbo-diesel making 150kW and 500Nm may sound modest in a car this size, but it delivers a claimed 5.2 L/100km combined and 137g/km of CO2, comfortably the lowest of any CLS sold here, helped by a 0.26 drag coefficient that is the slipperiest figure in the range. It still covers 0 to 100km/h in 7.5 seconds and runs to an electronically limited 210km/h through the 7G-TRONIC PLUS seven-speed automatic. It is rated to a 2,270kg gross vehicle mass, turns in 11.27 metres, takes 520 litres of VDA luggage space and a 100kg roof load, and runs 18-inch wheels with 255/40 front and 285/35 rear tyres.

By late 2014 the Australian CLS range had contracted to three grades and the CLS 250 CDI was the entry point. Mechanically it is unchanged: a 2,143cc four-cylinder turbo-diesel making 150kW and 500Nm, 7.5 seconds to 100km/h, an electronically limited 210km/h, and a claimed 5.2 L/100km with 137g/km of CO2 that remains the most frugal figure of any CLS sold here. The 0.26 drag coefficient is likewise the range's best. What changed for this model year is the running gear Mercedes-Benz Australia lists against it: 19-inch wheels with 255/35 front and 285/30 rear tyres, where the 2013 page specified 18s.
