The Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 reaches 60 mph in 7.04 s (100 km/h in 7.45 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.38 s, tripping the lights at 90.7 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s and the eighth mile in 9.90 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and
drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures.
Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 is a rear-drive turbodiesel saloon of 1,865 kg with 201 bhp, which works out at 108 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 108 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.36 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,740th quickest to 60 mph, and the 613th quickest of the 1380 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 90.7 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions
What is the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 0-60 time?
The Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 reaches 60 mph in 7.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,740th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 quarter mile time?
15.38 s at 90.7 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.90 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.36 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 have?
201 bhp and 1,865 kg, which is 108 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 7 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204?
Closest here on pace: Audi A4 2.0 TDI quattro 177 (7.03 s), Volvo S90 2.0 T4 190 (7.05 s), BMW 5 Series (F10) LCI 520d xDrive 190 (7.08 s). Each one can be raced against the Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting Brake (X218) 250 CDI 204 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
