Mercedes-Benz CLK350 dimensions

The Mercedes-Benz W209 vehicles have been manufactured since 2002. They are sold under the Clk-class model names. The W209 is based on the W203 C-class. It replaced the C208 Clk-class after 2004 which were the first vehicle to carry the CLK moniker.

The W209 is available in two body styles, a coupe and a cabriolet, and with three engines available, a V6 (CLK320 in ’04, Mercedes-Benz CLK350 thereafter), V8 (CLK500), and supercharged V8 (CLK55). The cabriolet (designated with an A, as in CLK500A) features a fully automatic retractable soft top covered by a metal tonneau that can be raised and lowered from outside the car using the key fob.

The CLK is developed to fill the mid-luxury sphere position for coupes and convertibles. It is Mercedes-Benz’s only 4-seat cabriolet. Its direct rivals in the cabriolet sphere are the Volvo C70 and the Lexus SC430, although it is available with larger engines than any of its direct rivals. The CLK is positioned midway between the BMW 3 series coupe/cabriolet and the 6 series coupe/cabriolet.
