DATANot crash-tested
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class presents a limited safety profile, as NHTSA has not subjected this model year to crash testing. Consequently, it carries no federal star ratings and no computed Safety Index. The federal record does reflect a light recall and complaint burden: zero open recall campaigns on file and only three owner-reported complaints documented by NHTSA. This absence of crash-test data precludes any definitive assessment of crashworthiness based on standardized test results.
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recall campaigns, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band, according to NHTSA federal safety data.
