Mercedes-Benz has turned its slippery-looking CLS four-door coupe into a wagon, unveiling its new CLS Shooting Brake this week.

Revealed in concept form in 2010 and confirmed for production just months later, the CLS Shooting Brake has also been spied testing in light camouflage over the past year.

Similar to to the sedan, Mercedes describes the CLS Shooting Brake as a coupe, "but with five doors and a roof which continues through to the rear". (TMR Managing Editor Tim O'Brien delivered a sermon on shooting brakes in May.)

Measuring 4956mm long, Merc's coupe-esque new wagon is just 16mm longer than the sedan.

Despite its sleek roofline, the CLS Shooting Brake promises 590 litres of rear storage with the back seats upright, bettering the XF Sportbrake, the 5 Series Touring and Audi's A6 Avant. Only its E-Class stablemate, with 695 litres, will swallow more.
