CL-Class Coupe

• 

  Exceptionally innovative, elegantly intuitive

  The COMAND system makes advanced technology easy to enjoy. In addition to the audio and navigation systems[*1], COMAND lets you tailor an abundance of vehicle settings to your liking with illustrated detail on the 8-inch high-resolution LCD widescreen. A convenient central controller, multifunction steering wheel and Enhanced Voice Control system puts it all as close as your fingertips or your voice.

• 

  Four-place seating, first-class comfort

  It's the time-honored layout of a Mercedes-Benz coupe: four individual seats alongside a sweeping full-length console. And yet its comforts are the state of the art: Heated and Active Ventilated 16-way power front seats include 4-way lumbar support. Optional active multicontour seats for adaptive support in corners or a soothing massage.

• 

  Take in the scenery, keep out the rest

  With no visible B-pillars interrupting the vista, the CL-Class offers a panoramic view of the outside world. But to keep out its harsher elements, all of its windows feature advanced glass that's laminated to reject noise, and infrared-reflecting to help radiant heat and UV rays from entering the cabin.

• 

  Seamless sound, seemingly limitless choice

  With 11 speakers and 600 watts, the harman/kardon LOGIC7® system immerses you in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound that automatic adapts to ambient noise. Listening choices are virtually unending, from HD Radio† stations and SiriusXM Satellite Radio[*2] to iPod integration[*3] and both USB and AUX ports. You can even store 7.2GB of your own digital music on an in-dash hard drive.

• 

  Front-row entertainment, for driver and passenger

  A breakthrough in LCD technology allows the front passenger to watch a DVD movie on the 8-inch widescreen that's center stage in the CL-Class dash. With the SPLITVIEW option, the driver sees only the usual screens of the COMAND system, while a wireless headset keeps the soundtrack private too. Now the passenger can take in a movie without taking the driver's focus from enjoying the road ahead.[*4]

AIRMATIC semi-active suspension

For a balanced, comfortable ride, the AIRMATIC semi-active suspension employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to changing driving conditions. A choice of two settings, Sport and Comfort, lets drivers match the ride characteristics to their mood. The system also lowers the ride height at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics. AIRMATIC also provides automatic 4-wheel level control, to help compensate for additional cargo or passengers.

16-way power

Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you and your front passenger find your ideal seating positions with 12-way power adjustment, plus a 4-chamber lumbar support. A memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button. The driver-seat memory also includes the power steering column and side mirror positions.

navigation

Using GPS technology and a 40GB hard drive to store maps, points of interest, and Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses, this virtual copilot provides detailed driving directions with remarkable speed and a friendly voice. The COMAND system's large color-LCD screen also displays gas stations, ATMs and Mercedes-Benz dealerships along your route within the contiguous U.S., Canada and Oahu, Hawaii, with periodic updates available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.

twin-turbo V-12

The numbers only tell part of the story: 12 cylinders, 510 hp and 612 lb-ft of peak torque from 1,800-3,500 rpm. The rest you have to feel for yourself. Staggering acceleration and low-end torque stems from two advanced, compact turbochargers, which nearly eliminate "turbo lag". Two liquid-to-air intercoolers further intensify combustion for seemingly endless thrust at any rpm. And with high-strength components like a diecast block, it's both seamlessly smooth and stunningly strong.

Active Body Control

Arguably the most advanced suspension in production, ABC is a fully active suspension that ideally balances comfort and response in virtually every situation. A network of advanced sensors and electronically controlled hydraulics is designed to counteract the effects of roll, vibration, pitch, dive and squat during cornering, braking and acceleration. Innovative logic also allows ABC to mitigate the effects that crosswinds have on the vehicle. A driver-selectable Sport mode provides virtually flat cornering capability far beyond ordinary suspensions. Automatic 4-wheel level control gradually lowers the ride height as speeds increase, to improve aerodynamics and stability

Active Ventilated

Heated and Active Ventilated seats are a luxury you'll soon consider a necessity. Three levels of heating and cooling ventilation are offered. By gently circulating air through perforations in the seat and backrest, Active Ventilated seats help keep you cooler and your clothes dryer during warmer months. On cold or damp days, using both the ventilation and heating features together can circulate the seat heating more quickly, to help keep you warm and dry.

4-wheel Electronic Traction System

In any season or road condition, 4MATIC™ all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Always engaged and optimizing torque to every wheel, 4MATIC integrates with our standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for maximum effectiveness in corners and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS), which monitors for the first sign of wheel slip and responds to ensure that torque is sent to the wheels with the best grip -- even if that's only one wheel.

twin-turbo V-8

A new 429-hp 4.6-liter V-8 combines numerous advances and twin turbos to deliver noticeably more low-end torque. New rapid-multispark ignition can fire up to four times per millisecond, while high-pressure Direct Injection microscopically tunes the fuel spray to reduce emissions, fuel consumption and noise. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, quicker and more widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, and clever "on-demand" ancillary components like the alternator further boost efficiency.

Enhanced Voice Control

Place or answer calls and access select phonebooks hands-free with standard Bluetooth connectivity. When your compatible phone is synched with the vehicle, you can enjoy hands-free conversations over the audio system. Enhanced Voice Control lets you control the phone, audio and navigation by saying city names and your phonebook contacts normally, with no need to spell them out. It even screens out "ums" and "ahs" and understands "yeah" for "yes". Visit www.MBUSA-Mobile.com to learn more.

7-speed automatic transmission

The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while paddle shifters on the steering wheel let you enjoy manual-style control anytime you wish.
