SPYSHOTS: W218 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class facelift

W218 Mercedes-Benz CLS facelift

My, it really is spyshot season! Photographed here by our European spies is the facelifted second-gen Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, believe it or not.

Although it only officially entered the Malaysian scene last year, the incumbent W218 CLS-Class has actually been around for a couple of years now, so a refresh is perhaps timely.

The Shooting Brake in the photos reveals very minor changes to its face – there’s a reworked front bumper, a revised headlamp layout and a diamond-effect grille like the ones you see on higher-trim variants of the A-Class, CLA-Class and S-Class. Round the back, things don’t appear to have changed – but what about the four-door car?

The new-look CLS range may surface sometime in 2014 before going on sale in 2015.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

    When I first looked at the photo, I thought it was an R-class.
    Estate also can be made sporty, just like Mazda6. Cantiq.

    R-class: needs to grow in length. Interior small.
