The Mercedes-Benz CL (1996-1999) was offered with 3 distinct engine configurations across its trim range.
| Engine | Power | Torque | Transmission | Drive | Top speed | 0-100 km/h | Consumption | Available on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.0L Petrol | 394 hp | 570 Nm | Automatic | Rear Wheel Drive | 250 km/h | 6.6 s | 16.9 l/100km | 2 trims |
| 5.0L Petrol | 320 hp | 470 Nm | Automatic | Rear Wheel Drive | 250 km/h | 7.5 s | 15.4 l/100km | 2 trims |
| 4.2L Petrol | 279 hp | 400 Nm | Automatic | Rear Wheel Drive | 250 km/h | 8.5 s | 14.9 l/100km | 3 trims |
Each row is a distinct mechanical configuration — engine size, power output, transmission, drivetrain and fuel type — deduplicated across equipment trims that share the same engine. Trim-only differences (interior, wheels, options) do not create a separate row.
