Recreating the Details of the CLS Shooting Brake

The "CLC Shooting Brake," slated for release from Mercedes-Benz, is said to be based on the B-Class while incorporating details and ideas from the CLS Shooting Brake (announced at the 2010 Beijing Motor Show).

While it appears to belong to the C-Class wagon lineup, it is still being discussed internally whether the styling will be a 3-door, similar to the current CLC, or a 5-door like a conventional station wagon. However, its exterior design, with its beautiful roofline, is more refined than that of previous C-Class wagons.

Debut Scheduled for September 2013

The body size is expected to be approximately 4.4 meters, falling between the C-Class wagon's approximately 4.6 meters and the CLC coupe's approximately 4.2 meters.

The planned engine lineup is said to be extensive, featuring turbocharged 4-cylinder engines, ranging from a 1.2-liter engine with a maximum output of 109 hp to a 276 hp supercharged unit for the CLC 22 AMG equipped with the "4Matic" 4WD system.
Currently, the CLC Shooting Brake is scheduled to make its debut around September 2013.

BRAND HISTORY
When tracing the history of automobiles, we arrive at two Germans, Gottlieb Daimler and Karl Benz, as pioneers. It goes without saying that these two men independently created gasoline-powered automobiles between 1885 and 1886, laying the foundation for the automotive society. The automobile companies they founded were sometimes seen as rivals, but to overcome the recession after World War I, they joined forces, and the Daimler-Benz company was established through their merger in 1926.

The name "Mercedes," given to the products, originated when Emil Jellinek, a customer of Daimler's, named the car after his eldest daughter in exchange for taking over sales outside of Germany. It was registered as a trademark by Daimler in 1902.

Thus, Mercedes and Mercedes-Benz have continued to lead the way in automotive development, actively introducing the latest technologies such as the safety passenger cell, airbags, ESP (Electronic Stability Program), and Night View.
