About the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake X218 Obsidian Black Metallic Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake X218 reproduces the 2011 wagon version of the CLS coupe in Obsidian Black Metallic diecast, with doors, hood, and trunk that open. Mercedes built this body style for only one CLS generation, making it a genuinely uncommon subject. A mid-tier licensed replica for estate and wagon collectors.

A five-door wagon wearing a coupe's roofline sounds like a contradiction, but Mercedes built exactly that for one generation only, and this Obsidian Black example is the diecast record of a body style the brand never repeated. It is the rarer half of the C218 CLS story, built on the same platform as the coupe but reshaped entirely behind the doors.

The Mercedes X218 and a One-Generation Body Style

A Wagon That Refuses to Look Like One

The Shooting Brake shares its doors, dashboard, and front-end sheet metal with the CLS coupe, but everything behind the B-pillar is unique: a sloping rear glass, a shortened roofline, and a hatch rather than a conventional trunk lid. Mercedes marketed it explicitly against wagon buyers who wanted cargo flexibility without the boxy proportions a traditional estate carries, a niche pitch that limited its sales but sharpened its identity.

Never Repeated in a Later Generation

Mercedes built the Shooting Brake only for the C218 generation and did not carry the body style forward when the CLS moved to its third generation, which makes this specific silhouette a closed chapter rather than an ongoing model line. That makes it a genuinely uncommon subject on a collector's shelf, distinct from the far more common CLS coupe most collections already include.

Norev's Diecast Approach to the Estate Format

Zinc Alloy Weight Over a Longer Roof

Reproducing a shooting brake in diecast means capturing a roofline that slopes continuously from windshield to hatch rather than stepping down at a conventional C-pillar, and Norev's zinc alloy body carries that curve without the panel looking flattened. The added weight over the rear half, where a wagon carries more structure than a coupe, gives the model a slightly different balance in hand than its coupe sibling, a subtle but noticeable difference for anyone who owns both.

Doors, Hood, and a Rear Hatch

The doors, hood, and trunk all open on this casting, and the rear hatch in particular is worth noting since it swings up rather than out, matching the real car's cargo-area access. That functional detail reinforces the wagon identity even before a buyer notices the sloped rear glass, giving the model genuine display variety beyond a closed silhouette.

Obsidian Black Metallic and Panel Fit

Black metallic is a demanding finish because it hides panel lines less forgivingly than lighter colors, showing every inconsistency in shutline width under direct light. Norev's Obsidian Black here holds a deep, even gloss with visible metallic flake rather than reading as flat black plastic, and the long, unbroken roofline shows off that consistency better than a shorter body would. Chrome window surrounds and the plated grille stand out sharply against the dark paint, giving the front end real contrast. At 1:18, the Shooting Brake runs close to 27 centimeters, slightly longer overall than the coupe due to its rear overhang.

Pairing the Shooting Brake With the CLS Coupe

This model rewards being displayed beside the standard CLS coupe rather than alone, since the contrast between the two rooflines is the entire point of the Shooting Brake's design story. For collectors building a Mercedes shelf around design variation rather than pure model-year sequence, this is one of the more interesting pairings available: same platform, same doors, entirely different rear identity.
