Design
The new version of the 2004 CLK-Class, which debuted in 2004, is over two inches longer than the model it replaced, and the majority of the additional length can be found within the vehicle. Mercedes asserts that they have improved the amount of inside room by two inches, but it seems like there is far more. Both the coupe and the cabriolet of the first generation of the CLK were timeless in terms of their outward design and rather claustrophobic cabins. Even drivers over six feet tall will find enough space in the new CLK models.

Improved Rear Seating
Even better, there is sufficient space in the rear seat for two people to sit comfortably on trips that extend farther than the conclusion of the driveway. You may not want to take a couple of buddies out for a daylong journey but be assured that nobody will emerge from the backseat looking like the Phantom of the Opera. For example, the rear-seat knee space in the coupe has increased by 1.5 inches, while the rear-seat knee room in the cabriolet has increased by 1.7 inches.
Front Seats and Seatbelts
The front seats of the CLK320 did not seem to have the same level of comfort as those in the CLK500. Mercedes made it easy to get into and out of the back seat by equipping the front seats with convenient quick-release mechanisms that move forward and up. The so-called “seatbelt presenters” automatically stretch forward from behind the door opening to make the seatbelts more accessible to the people sitting in the front seats, and then they retract. The back seats of the coupe fold down in a 60/40 split, allowing for easy access to the large trunk that measures 10.4 cubic feet.
Interior Luxury
The most modern Mercedes models all have the most luxurious inside materials available. The dashboard has been treated with a soft polyurethane that gives it a pleasant feel and gives it an appealing look. Although there have been criticisms about the use of plastic in the M-Class and the C-Class, it isn’t easy to see anybody not being tempted by the appearance and feel of the CLK’s interior. The cabin is particularly appealing thanks to the collected leather on the door panels and the nice accents of wood. The only thing we could identify that was unfavorable about the cabin was the cup holder on the passenger side. It is aesthetically pleasing but obstinate.
