Our quick take

Mercedes-Benz CLS 250 CDI BlueEfficiency AMG Sport Shooting Brake - 4.5 / 5

A split perspective

A real shooting brake?

A car of many talents

It’s the little things

Every little helps

Not perfect, not dull

To recap

Plane, boat, train? No, it’s a shooting brake – a more practical but still striking CLS, which ups both the interior space and the wow factor. Extremely good at most things, consider the 350cdi for a more cultured engine note though. Oh and shrinking violets needs not apply.
