They're all good.


The 2013 has the improved intercooling system so I'd say that is "better" than the 2012.
The 2014 adds AWD if you want that.
The 2015 is the facelift.

sweet that explains it all, and what I needed to hear...

so the 13's didn't come AWD huu?

I see you have the m5, one of my considerations as well... what do you think of it?

I would reiterate if you want RWD pick a 2013, as for AWD it's personal preference and budget. Though we are told the 2015 have faster shifts.

If you ever make your way down to my neck of the Florida woods you can check out my 2014.

The 2013 is RWD only. The 2014 and 2015 are AWD only in the US.

I traded a 2012 CLS63 for the M5 so I considered it better at the time. I like the 2015 CLS63 and a lot of the improvements, but it feels too much like the 2012 I owned. Also the 2015 has less headroom than the 2012 and I no longer fit in it well. The RS7 is another interesting choice, but the cheap interior is a real letdown and deal breaker.


If I didn't have a 2012 before and the 2015 had another 2 inches of headroom that would be the car I'd pick.

kind of

red brake calipers are real nice. as is all the carbon fiber (interior and engine cover) and alcantara steering wheel.

extra power doesnt matter since you can tune it and get 700 hp.

2014 Mercedes CLS63 AMG
I just bought a cls63 2014 last week... I love the car so far..

I had to opt for a 2014 for all wheel drive... since i live in Indiana where winters are longer than summers...

2015 i could not cope with looking at that giant navi screen sticking out... very bad decision by mercedes to go that rout..

It is tacky. Big Mercedes fail in my opinion. Looks aftermarket, effort to save cost perhaps. If they wanna impress me make a computer screen look like the Tesla has. Beyuuuutiful.
