Exterior and Interior
The Shooting Brake is beautiful enough to hold your gaze. Its extended roofline, which curves to become a shade-like structure towering the tailgate, provides symmetry to the overall exterior. Skeptics may comment that the design has too much similarity with the Mercedes Benz CLA. Although it is true, it cannot be denied that the Shooting Brake is full of sophistication. The rear of the vehicle has a compact design with four exhaust pipes deeply set and the diffuser running its full width. This feature is expected to improve upon the aerodynamics of the 2016 Mercedes Benz.

The styling is further improved with the use of steel in sill panels and pedals, and red highlights on the seats. The console has a screen in the center displaying information about the car and its performance.
