2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK Review:

The CLK is sort of like the C-Class line of vehicles offered up by the distinguished German manufacturer. It has relatively the same size and standard features, and could be seen as an uplevel model in the C-family were it not for its body styles and sheer amount of available trims.

CLKs come as two-door, four-passenger models in either coupe or convertible body styles. The coupe has true, pillarless hardtop styling with no middle roof posts. The convertible has a fully automatic power top, heated glass rear window and roll bars in the rear headrests designed to pop up if sensors detect an impending rollover.

There are spine-tingling engines, plenty of standard features and numerous eye-catching options available for 2004. It all comes with being a Mercedes.

Under the Hood

To start things off, Mercedes equips CLK320 models with a 3.2-liter V6 engine. Modest for the family, it delivers up to 215 horsepower at 5700 rpm and 229 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm.

Moving up to the CLK500 model pushes you past the 300-horsepower mark. Its 5.0-liter V8 engine delivers 302 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 339 lb-ft of torque at 2700 rpm.

Finally, there’s the CLK55 AMG, developed by Mercedes' AMG performance arm. It uses a 5.4-liter V8 and specially-tuned sports suspension. The result is a whopping 362 horsepower at 5750 rpm and 376 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm.

All use a 5-speed automatic transmission with a manual-shift feature. The CLK55 adds manual-shift steering-wheel buttons.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

There are countless features to speak of and many additional options as well. Mercedes' TeleAid assistance is standard with the 2004 CLK. It uses cellular and GPS technology to provide a 24-hour connection to a Mercedes-Benz customer representative. It automatically notifies a representative in emergency situations, or you can contact one yourself with a simple push of a button.

Options include Mercedes' COMAND video-screen control for audio and available navigation and phone systems. Also offered is front and rear-obstacle detection and Mercedes' Distronic cruise control. It is designed to maintain a set following distance from the car in front of you.

Then, there’s Keyless Go, a credit-card-sized transmitter that allows the driver to start the car via a shift-knob button rather than the ignition key. And really, that’s just touching on a few of the options.
