The current Mercedes-Benz CL covers up to 874 km on a full tank, based on combined-cycle consumption. Figures below are the best-range variant in each generation.
| Years | Powertrain | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 1996–1999 | Combustion | 671 |
| 1999–2002 | Combustion | 657 |
| 2002–2006 | Combustion | 772 |
| 2006–2010 | Combustion | 744 |
| 2010–2014 | Combustion | 874 |
Range is calculated from each variant’s fuel tank capacity and combined-cycle consumption (tank ÷ consumption × 100), for the best-range variant in each generation — real-world range varies with driving style and conditions. Figures outside a plausible range for the tank size are excluded.
