The first CLS made its debut as a concept in 2003 at the Frankfurt motor show, before going into production the following year.
It was available with a variety of V6 and V8 petrol engines as well as a V6 turbodiesel. Mercedes sold more than 170,000 CLS units worldwide in the six years it was in production.
