No More Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake Version

KUALA LUMPUR :Every day we witness arrival of new cars in the market, and on the other hand, there are many cars which get discontinued by the car-makers for varied reasons, these are the cars that were not able to generate as much hype as their counterparts. One such car whose presence will no longer be felt by the automobile market is the Shooting Brake version by Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Mercedes-Benz has decided to abandon this variant from its CLS car category, which means that in 2018 when Mercedes-Benz CLS will be transformed into a whole new car, shooting brake will not be one of the styles it will be featuring. The reason why Mercedes has decided to get its hands off from this shooting brake is quite clear from its sales sheet. Apparently, this Soothing Brake failed to lure customers interest, mainly in China and North American market.

With not much markets left for this German car maker to explore, the company has surely made the right choice of giving farewell to this CLS variant. As there is no use to bear the cost of a car that has no future to look foreword too. Other car-makers like, Audi and BMW have followed the same trend of phasing out their unsuccessful models.

Coming back to Mercedes-Benz, the company made many efforts for selling this CLS variant, it even introduced a smaller version of this shooting brake, but all its efforts were in vain. The CLS itself suffered from certain short comings, like its near to useless boot space, which prominently reduced its sales.

Keeping aside the past ,for the future, Mercedes is planning to focus its energy on the SUV segment that appears to have a promising future, apart from the company also plans to built an A-Class along with its variants.
