New Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake: All You Need to Know Plus 86 Photos and Video Footage



It took Mercedes-Benz a little over two years to turn the Shooting Break Concept from the 2010 Beijing Auto Show into the production CLS Shooting Brake (that's no typo, the German automaker changed the name in the process) you first saw in a set of leaked pictures earlier today and in much more detail now.

If you're having a problem comprehending Mercedes' description of the Shooting Brake, you're probably not alone.
