New Mercedes CLS 2014 pictures

The Mercedes CLS is a sleek four-door coupe.

The CLS is eye-catching to look at with more visual impact than rivals like the Audi A7.

The CLS doesn't deliver the ultimate in sporty dynamics.

The Mercedes CLS is available with a range of engines, of which the CLS350 diesel makes the most sense.

Power freaks should look towards the 577 bhp CLS63 AMG.

The CLS offers a luxurious cabin for four - but no option for a fifth passenger.

The cabin is littered with useful storage.

The main rivals to the CLS would be the Audi A7 and BMW 6-series Gran Coupe.

UK-spec cars get a less efficient seven-speed gearbox compared to the nine-speed auto that left-hand-drive cars benefit from.

The CLS corners tidily but it's no sports car.

The Mercedes CLS is decently practical with a big boot, although folding rear seats are optional.
