Did your 2016 CLS come with underseat storage?


On this review of 2016 CLS400, I see underseat storage in front seats. While shopping for my CLS, I did not see any with underseat storage. Was this an option or is this an early production anomaly?

Just a small storage compartment much like the one in the E class.

This post reminded me that I had discovered this storage area when I first purchased my car and then completely forgot about it. Yesterday, I checked it out again and discovered my long lost $800 Oakley prescription sunglasses that I replaced at similar cost. Now I have a backup.

In a state where I can carry legally, only one thing comes to my mind to store down there

Yes, a holstered Glock would fit in there nicely. No rattling around.

Compartment is so small that even a compact M&P Shield won’t fit.

Very true. When I had my 2015 CLS I could only store a decent knife in there.

The compartment is however, a good place to store an extra magazine or two...

To keep it relevant my CLS does have under seat storage...
