We saw the test mule of the 2011 CLS-Class end of September in the Alps. Current CLS is based on the E-Class, new one will likely use the S-Class platform. By the time new CLS arrives it already has strong competitors out in the form of Audi A7 and Porsche Panamera.

New CLS will feature a wider track and sharper body lines, overall styling will not change much. Here we have artist renderings based on that information.
