2019 Mercedes-Benz CLS
450 RWD
33,236 mi
$32,215
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, a sleek 4-door coupe, competes with the Audi A7 and S7. It was redesigned for 2019, so 2020 brings minor changes.
Mercedes-Benz splits the CLS-Class into two trims. The base CLS 450 comes with an inline-6 cylinder engine, a 9-speed automatic transmission, and a mild-hybrid electrical system called EQ Boost. While the engine alone generates 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, EQ Boost can momentarily add up to 21 hp and 184 lb-ft. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) comes standard but you can add 4MATIC all-wheel drive (AWD). The CLS 450 accelerates to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds with RWD and 4.8 seconds with AWD. Expect the CLS 450 to return fuel economy of 24 mpg city, 31 highway, and 26 combined. The CLS 450 4MATIC returns 23/26/30.
If that’s not enough for you, the AMG CLS 53 is also available. It uses the same basic engine tuned to 429 hp and 384 lb-ft. With EQ Boost, that can rise to 450 hp and 568 lb-ft. An AMG-tuned 9-speed automatic drives all four wheels. The CLS 53 races to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The AMG CLS 53 gets 21/27/23 with premium gas.
The CLS 450 comes standard with 5-passenger seating, 19-inch wheels, ambient lighting with 64 colors, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, keyless start and access, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a power trunk lid, leather upholstery, and a leatherette dashboard. The AMG CLS 53 includes a unique body kit, special upholstery, a performance steering wheel, and a 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster. Both versions offer a number of appearance packages as well as upgrades like adaptive LED exterior lights, two grades of Burmester sound systems, massaging multi-contour seats, heated and ventilated seats, and 3-zone climate control.
Both trims come with blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and driver-attention monitoring. The CLS-Class hasn't been crash-tested, but that isn’t unusual for a low-volume luxury car.
The CLS-Class cuts a striking figure and packs plenty of technology, performance, and opulence beneath it.

The 2019 model-year overview emphasizes striking styling, a premium feel, and a refined driving experience, while also noting tradeoffs in rear-seat space, technology usability, and value.
With 28.3% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop strategically rather than rushing into the first example you see.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS?
At 64.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was minor or structural. Put a pre-purchase inspection near the top of your checklist, especially if the car has been repaired, repainted, or has inconsistent panel gaps. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and how well the interior and electronics have held up, since those details matter a lot in a luxury sedan.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS?
This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers: there is enough inventory to compare options, but the best-priced examples still deserve quick attention.
- Deal availability: 28.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 230 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.99% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 64.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $34,375.53, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS's resale value?
The current average of $34,630 sits slightly below last year's $38,473.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can help you buy more favorably today. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car is documented. If you maintain the car carefully and keep it accident-free, you give yourself a better chance of standing out when it is time to sell.
Should I buy a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 28.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 64.8% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.99% compared with last year.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $31,385, the 2019 costs less than the current year's $34,630 average.
- It emphasizes striking styling and a premium feel.
The bottom line: You should start with the 2020 if you want the current-year market and are willing to shop carefully for condition and deal quality. If your priority is saving money, the 2019 is the better secondary path because it comes in lower while still offering the CLS's standout design and luxury appeal.
