✳️ Why did Mercedes stop making CLS?
The reason why Mercedes made this decision is not very clear, but it is speculated that it has to do with declining sales, internal and external competition, and the electrification strategy of the brand.
Another factor that could explain the withdrawal of the CLS is Mercedes' focus on the electric vehicle segment, which represents the brand's future. Mercedes recently launched the EQE and EQS models, which have a coupe-like line and fall in the same price category as the CLS.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS will go down in automotive history as a pioneer of the coupe-sedan style, which inspired other brands to create such models. However, after almost 20 years of existence, the CLS bids farewell to its fans and makes way for other more modern and environmentally friendly models.
