2007 CL550
Following info for vehicles sold in United States
Only RWD 216's were ABC
2007 & 2008 CL559 were RWD
2008 and newer CL550 were 4matic with airmatic

AMG versions were RWD with ABC and some of the last CL63 were 4matic with airmatic

There were other variations produced for other countries but not sold here. I see you are in Sweden which MIGHT have had airmatic RWD

No CL63’s were Airmatic or 4Matic (At least that I have ever seen) They were RWD and have ABC. AWD came with the new S Coupe. Any CL that is RWD is ABC. Any CL that is 4Matic used Airmatic. You cannot have ABC with 4Matic as the systems are not compatible.

Thanks for responding

I was hoping there would be a non-ABC RWD version, but it seems there never were any.
My only option then is the 500(550) 4Matic, in case I want a non-ABC car

Last time I saw RWD with Airmatic was on the W211 or W212. Never have I ever seen that on a CL/S
