Mercedes-Benz CLS
A pioneer in the four-door luxury coupe segment, the CLS is motivated by the same turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine as many other Mercedes models, which is backed by a mild hybrid system known as EQ Boost. It can be yours for just over $80,000. A more hardcore version called AMG CLS 53 adds 67 horsepower for a total of 429. Both rely on the automaker’s 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.
