CLS Shooting Brake Shakes up Merc's estates

摘要

Mercedes-Benz has finally revealed the definitive production version of its radical new CLS Shooting Brake. The swoopy estate is set to go on sale in the UK from November at a starting price of around ￡48,000 following its public debut at last week's Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new model, which was developed under the codename X219, will be positioned well above the E-class estate, which is priced from ￡31,485. The CLS Shooting Brake was given the go-ahead by Mercedes boss Dieter Zetsche following positive reaction to the earlier ConceptFascination, unveiled at the 2008 Paris motor show, and subsequent CLS Shooting Break show car, which was revealed at the 2010 Beijing motor show.
