Mercedes-Benz Mercedes CLK 2002-2009 Specifications

The 2002-2009 Mercedes CLK offers a range of engines, including the CLK240 (2.6L V6, 168 hp), CLK320 (3.2L V6, 215 hp), CLK500 (5.0L V8, 302 hp), and the high-performance CLK55 AMG (5.4L V8, 362 hp). The CLK55 AMG features enhanced performance components, including a sport-tuned suspension, larger brakes, and a more aggressive exhaust system.

The CLK series offers a 5-speed automatic transmission (5G-Tronic) for most models, while the CLK55 AMG comes with a 5-speed SpeedShift automatic transmission, providing faster and more responsive gear changes.

Standard safety features include ABS, electronic stability control (ESP), dual front airbags, side airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Optional features include adaptive cruise control, Bi-Xenon headlights, and the Pre-Safe system, which prepares the vehicle for an impending collision.

The CLK series offers competitive fuel economy for its class, with the CLK240 achieving up to 20 mpg city / 29 mpg highway, while the CLK55 AMG achieves 15 mpg city / 22 mpg highway. This is comparable to similar vehicles like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A5 from the same era.

Mercedes recommends an oil change every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Other maintenance tasks include brake fluid replacement every 2 years, air filter replacement every 30,000 miles, and a comprehensive service inspection every 20,000 miles.

Standard features include leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, a power sunroof, and a premium sound system. Optional features include heated seats, a navigation system, a Harman Kardon audio system, and the AMG Sport Package, which adds sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and upgraded wheels.

The CLK offers 10.1 cubic feet of trunk space, which is slightly less than competitors like the BMW 3 Series (12.0 cubic feet). Passenger space is comparable, with comfortable seating for four adults and ample legroom in both front and rear seats.

The CLK is not designed for towing and does not have an official towing capacity. The payload capacity is approximately 900 lbs, which is typical for a luxury coupe of its size.
