Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class car rental, the original four-door coupe
Drive a CLS-Class
A Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class car rental gives you a coupe's low, sweeping silhouette with sedan practicality — five seats, four doors, and 4MATIC all-wheel drive. If you're browsing Mercedes-Benz car rental options, it's the pick for sedan room without the sedan look.
On Turo, you book your CLS-Class from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Production ended in 2023, so this one's now a modern classic — and renting is the easiest way to slide behind the wheel.

Smooth, turbocharged inline-six power
The CLS-Class runs on a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six with a mild hybrid system called EQ Boost. It makes 362 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque from just 1,600 rpm, and a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic puts that power down smoothly. You get strong pull off the line and relaxed cruising once you're up to speed.
All-weather grip with 4MATIC all-wheel drive
Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive gives the CLS-Class sure footing when the forecast turns. It sends power to all four wheels, so rain-slicked highways and chilly mornings feel more manageable. You can plan a trip around your schedule, not the weather report.
Underneath, a four-wheel independent suspension — four-link up front and a five-arm multilink setup in back — keeps the ride composed over rough pavement. Direct-Steer keeps steering responses crisp, so winding two-lane roads feel precise and engaging. It's a sporty, settled combo that suits long days behind the wheel.
Efficient touring with room for luggage
The CLS-Class returns an estimated 22 city, 30 highway, and 25 combined mpg. That's solid efficiency for a 362-hp coupe with all-wheel drive, and it stretches the time between gas station stops on a long drive.
Plan on premium unleaded every time you fill up. Out back, 11.9 cu ft of trunk space has room for weekend luggage, a garment bag, or a work bag. Pack smart, and you're set for a multi-day road trip between cities or a long weekend away.
Stand out with a CLS-Class
The CLS-Class fits trips where the car is part of the moment — special occasions, business trips, and refined weekend drives. Pull up to an anniversary dinner or a client meeting in a four-door coupe that looks tailor-made. Comparing premium options? Browse luxury and exotic rentals on Turo, too.
Top CLS-Class features
The car that created the four-door coupe
Three things set the CLS-Class apart: its heritage, its design, and its status as a final-generation model.
The CLS-Class launched in 2004 and earned credit as the first "four-door coupe." It blended a coupe's low roofline with the everyday access of four doors — a combination that defined a new segment. That means you get a sleek profile and an easy-to-reach back seat in one car.
Across three generations, the CLS-Class kept its signature fastback profile front and center. The third and final generation, known as the C257, ran 2018–2023. When you rent one, you're driving the latest version of the car that started it all.
Shark-nosed, low-slung design
The CLS-Class looks fast standing still, thanks to a long hood and a low-slung fastback silhouette. When the third generation debuted, the Turo blog singled out its shark-like nose and clean, sweeping roof. Frameless side windows finish the coupe look.
The shape works as well as it looks. A 0.27 drag coefficient helps the car slice through the air with less effort at highway speeds. Park it outside a restaurant or hotel, and you'll see why the design still turns heads years after its debut.
A final-generation modern classic
The third-generation CLS-Class is the last of the line. It debuted at the 2017 LA Auto Show, pairing a turbocharged inline-six with an electric motor. That setup carried the model through its final US model year in 2023.
Production ended on August 31, 2023, and no direct successor took its place. That makes the 2018–2023 cars a modern classic worth seeking out while they're still on the road. Renting one on Turo lets you experience it on your own terms, for a weekend or longer.

Top tips and things to know before renting a CLS-Class
Get to know your CLS-Class
A little prep helps you get the most out of your CLS-Class trip. Here's what to check, how to drive it, and what it costs.
Review the listing for the model year and features, since equipment can vary between cars. That sloping roofline trims rear headroom, so check the fit for taller passengers before a long drive. Need more space for people or gear? A Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon rental brings SUV room, and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental fits bigger groups.
CLS-Class driving tips
Fill up with premium unleaded and let the drivetrain do the work. EQ Boost and the nine-speed automatic handle the heavy lifting, so smooth throttle inputs are all you need.
All-wheel drive adds grip in wet weather, but it won't shorten your stopping distance. Drive to conditions, leave extra following room in the rain, and enjoy the composed ride.
How much does it cost to rent a CLS-Class?
CLS-Class rental prices vary by location, dates, and trip length, so check listings near you for current rates. Booking four or more days ahead unlocks a 10% non-refundable discount.
Some listings also offer trip-duration discounts for three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, or a month. Planning a longer stay? Browse long-term car rental options on Turo.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
