Mercedes-Benz CLS Brake Pedal Replacement Parts

Yes, every variant of the CLS has a brake pedal — it is a standard component on all petrol and diesel versions of the car across all generations. Because the CLS is not available with a manual gearbox in any generation, all cars use an automatic transmission, but a brake pedal is still fitted as normal. You can source a used one from a breaker without worrying about gearbox type.

The W219 and W218 are entirely different platform generations with different pedal box assemblies, so a brake pedal from the earlier car is very unlikely to interchange with the later one. You should always quote your exact registration to the breaker so they can match against the correct generation. Never assume fitment across a generation boundary for mechanical components like this.

The W218 facelift in 2014 was largely cosmetic, and the brake pedal assembly is generally not altered by styling updates of this kind. That said, if there were any running-gear or brake system revisions introduced around that time on specific engine variants, fitment cannot be guaranteed across the facelift boundary — confirm with the breaker against your registration to be sure. This is exactly the kind of mid-generation detail a good breaker can verify using your reg.

The brake pedal itself — the pivot arm and pad assembly in the cabin — is largely consistent across engine variants within the same generation, because brake pedal geometry is tied to the pedal box and bulkhead rather than the braking hardware at the wheel. However, if your CLS has a significantly different braking system specification due to a high-output engine variant, it is worth mentioning your engine size to the breaker when you request a quote. Quoting your registration gives the breaker the quickest route to an accurate match.

Trim level does not affect brake pedal fitment on the CLS — the SE, Sport, AMG Line and similar trim designations relate to cosmetic and equipment differences rather than changes to the pedal box assembly. You may find minor cosmetic differences in pedal rubbers or finishers between trim levels, but the underlying pedal itself should be the same within a given generation. Focus on matching the generation and engine rather than the trim badge when sourcing from a breaker.

The C257 is a new platform compared to the W218, so the two are not interchangeable for structural or mechanical components like the brake pedal assembly. Always source a brake pedal specifically listed for the C257 generation, and give the breaker your full registration to confirm the exact match. Mixing parts across platform generations is not something any breaker should recommend.
