While deliveries will not begin until October 6, 2012, Mercedes-Benz has released pricing for the European range of the new CLS Shooting Brake series, which is available to order with immediate effect. In Mercedes-Benz' home market of Germany, the sleek estate model starts at €61,761 (US$75,850) for the CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with a 201hp (204PS) four-cylinder diesel engine rising up to €117,512.50 (US$144,320) for the flagship CLS 63 AMG fitted with a 518hp (525PS) 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8.
In between, you will find the petrol engine CLS 350 V6 with 302hp (306PS) and CL500 V8 with 402hp (408PS), and the diesel-powered CLS 350 CDI (262hp / 265PS).
There's also the limited production CLS 63 AMG Edition 1 variant, which features a more powerful force-fed V8 rated at 550hp (557PS) and 800 Nm along with bespoke details and features, though Mercedes has not yet announced how much this model will cost.
We'll remind you the brand with the star has confirmed that it won't sell the Shooting Brake model in the United States because of "the continued aversion to wagons by U.S. car buyers," according to a company spokesman who talked to Autonews Europe.
