Mercedes revealed official European pricing for the new generation CLS-Class powered by four and six-cylinder engines, as they will arrive at dealerships form January 2011. The V8 models sales commence in April 2011. The new Mercedes CLS is a very desirable car, but I’m afraid it’s also quite pricey. It starts at €59,857 for the new CLS 250 CDI four-cylinder diesel model, which has only 204 hp.

Apart from that, there’s two six-cylinder engines available as well including CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY developing 195 kW(265 hp) and the CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY developing 225 kW (306 hp) and including the ECO start/stop function as standard. The CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY with a V8 engine and developing 300 kW (408 hp) is yet to get its price tag.

For the first year after the market launch Mercedes also offers a limited “Edition 1” package which is priced at €6,664 and includes matt exterior paintwork in manganite grey SHAPE, shimmering metallic leather upholstery designo corteccia pearl, floormats with “Edition 1” lettering, black designo roof liner and aluminium pedals.

Here’s the MSRP for all three variants:
