Product Overview
Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class CL203 is a compact hatchback in production from 2008 to 2011. It was available with a range of inline-4 and V6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.5 liters.
The successor to the C-Class SportCoupe, the CLC-Class was based on the same chassis but with design elements of the W204 C-Class sedan. Like its predecessor, it continued to compete with economy cars, even though Mercedes' RWD platform is most costly to manufacture. This led to poor sales and eventual discontinuation of the series.
