The Mercedes CLS450 is the six-cylinder version of Mercedes's swoop-roofed four-door coupe in the UAE, built on the last generation of a nameplate that has since been discontinued.
How much does a used Mercedes CLS450 cost in the UAE?
AED null to AED null is roughly the current range for this single-generation, C257-based car, the only generation the CLS450 badge was ever fitted to.
Which used Mercedes CLS450 year should you buy?
Any year works, within reason. This C257 generation ran from 2018 until Mercedes discontinued the CLS line entirely in 2023 without a direct replacement, and the 3.0-litre turbo inline-six with electric boost carried through unchanged across that run, so buy on condition and mileage rather than trying to time an update that never came.
How long does a Mercedes CLS450 last?
The cars we inspect run to a median just above 100,000 km, unremarkable for this drivetrain when it has been serviced on schedule — the turbo six and nine-speed automatic are shared with several other Mercedes models and have a solid track record at this distance.
Mercedes CLS450 or Mercedes C63 AMG?
The C63 AMG is the sharper, more aggressive choice in the same range if outright performance matters more than the coupe roofline. The Toyota Corolla is a completely different proposition at a fraction of the price, and shows prior body or panel repair more often in our inspections — 82% against 66% expected for saloons of this age and mileage in the Emirates.
What to look over on a used Mercedes CLS450
- Air suspension if fitted, a common and costly wear item.
- Electric boost system for smooth operation during acceleration.
- Full service history at a Mercedes dealer.
- Panel gaps and paint match given the low, swooping bodywork scuffs easily.
Book the CarSwitch inspection before you buy — on a discontinued nameplate like this, buying well matters more than ever since replacement parts only get scarcer.
