Overview

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe is a compact coupe offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $110,400. For that price, it mainly competes with the Cadillac CTS Coupe, the Nissan GTR, and the BMW M3 Coupe. Between 2 trims, the CL-Class Coupe offers 2 powertrain options. The base engine is a 5.5 L V8 capable of making 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 510 horsepower-making 5.5 L twin-turbocharged V12. Both engines are mated to either a 5-speed or 7-speed automatic transmission. The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class reaches 60 mph from zero in 5.5 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 4.5 seconds with the 5.5L twin-turbocharged V12. Depending on the powertrain, the CL-Class can manage a combined fuel economy between 14 and 17 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the CL-Class comes in really pull you towards it. The 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class fetches an average price of $18,995. However, the average saving on a good deal is around $662. With around 285 units of the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class available for purchase, we offer a vast inventory for you to choose from.

Buying Advice

If you are a car enthusiast with big pockets add a 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe to your garage.

The design of the vehicle is a little controversial because you either love it or hate it. If you like the design there is nothing that is wrong about the car.
