Year to Year Changes
1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK:
A CLK320 convertible joined the original coupe this year, as did a CLK430 coupe with 4.3-liter V8 power. The convertible included a power top, glass rear window, and the same 3.2-liter V6 engine as the CLK320 coupe. The new V8 coupe added Mercedes' ESP antiskid system (an option for V6 models), as well as bigger brakes, a firm suspension, performance tires on 17-inch wheels (versus the usual 16-inchers), and "aero" lower-body cladding.
2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK:
Both body styles--coupe and convertible--were available with the 4.3-liter V8 engine this year. Previously optional on the CLK320, an ESP antiskid system became standard on all models. The 5-speed automatic transmission gained Mercedes' Touch Shift, with a separate gate for easier manual shifting. Standard equipment included Mercedes' TeleAid emergency assistance system.
2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK:
CLK added a new performance coupe and some electronic features for 2001. The CLK55 AMG limited-edition coupe came with a 342-hp 5.4-liter V8 engine, special trim, larger brakes, stiffer suspension, and special 17-inch wheels. Newly optional was Mercedes' COMAND system that controlled audio and available navigation and phone functions from a dashboard screen.
2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK:
CLK55 coupe was joined by a convertible companion. Newly optional for 320 models was a Sport package with aero bodywork and 17-inch wheels. And CLK430s gained standard aero body trim, light-gray gauges, blue-tinted windows, and new-look alloy wheels. CLK was redesigned for '03.
