    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.

    First-rate entertainment
    for the front-seat 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.  (Disclaimer)

    System availability and use is not yet approved in all 50 states. See your dealer for the latest information, and check local laws regarding the use of front-seat video displays in your area.

536-hp V-8

With reduced displacement, numerous innovations and twin turbochargers, the 5.5-liter V-8 of the CL63 AMG outputs a thunderous 590 lb-ft of torque. While it bears the signature of the single technician who lovingly assembled it by hand, it's a high-tech powerhouse. Its twin turbochargers spin up to 185,000 rpm to dramatically boost low-end torque. High-pressure Direct Injection microscopically fine-tunes the fuel spray while rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times in a millisecond. Its 32 valves are driven by dual overhead camshafts that can precisely vary their timing by up to 40 degrees.

active multicontour

Active multicontour front seats feature adjustable lumbar supports, side bolsters and shoulder supports, for custom-tailored support. A massage feature helps prevent fatigue on longer drives, and offers settings ranging from gentle to more vigorous. Active side bolsters can be set to automatically increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers, or even in the event of a potential accident.

4-wheel Electronic Traction System

4MATIC all-wheel drive
4-ETS can help get you going even if three wheels lose their grip. Sensors at each wheel monitor traction based on wheel speeds. If one or more wheels start to slip, 4-ETS individually brakes the slipping wheels to maintain the flow of torque to the wheels with grip. Even if only one wheel has grip, 4-ETS can help get you going and stay in control.

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 8-inch color-LCD widescreen can also display gas stations, ATMs and Mercedes-Benz dealerships along your route.

SiriusXM Radio

SiriusXM Radio offers 130+ channels of premium digital entertainment, from news, talk and sports to commercial-free music from every genre. Enjoy live broadcasts of the biggest professional and college sports teams. While you listen, SiriusXM Traffic keeps you up to date on accidents, traffic, construction and road closures, and even helps your vehicle's navigation system find the fastest route based on real-time traffic information.

Active Body Control

Adaptive Damping System
Arguably the most advanced in production, ABC is a fully active suspension that ideally balances comfort and response in virtually every situation. A network of sensors and electronically controlled hydraulics is designed to counteract the effects of roll, vibration, pitch, dive and squat when cornering, braking and accelerating. 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.

621-hp V-12

The handcrafted 6.0-liter biturbo V-12 of the CL65 AMG outputs more torque than any AMG engine before it: a pavement-trembling 738 lb-ft. Liquid-to-air intercooling helps reduce intake temperatures by up to 25% at full throttle, assuring high output under all operating conditions and ambient temperatures. The twin turbochargers operate at up to 22 psi boost, while an instantly variable high-pressure fuel pump and high-speed engine management deliver instant response at all ranges of rpm and engine loads.

510-hp 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.

adaptive braking technology

Adaptive braking technology integrates a suite of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier.

Enhanced Voice Control

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."

Active Ventilated

Heated and Active Ventilated front seats
Heated and Active Ventilated seats offer three levels of heating and cooling ventilation. 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.

7-speed automatic transmission

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 smooth cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic matches its shift points to your driving style, while two driving modes (ECO and Sport) can be selected to suit your mood.

429-hp Direct Injection V-8

The 429-hp 4.6-liter V-8 in the CL550 combines numerous advances and twin turbos to deliver 12% more power. Its 516 lb-ft torque peak offers 45% more thrust at just 2,000 rpm. New rapid-multispark ignition can fire up to four times per millisecond, while high-pressure Direct Injection can microscopically fine-tune fuel spray in just 0.1 milliseconds, reducing 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.

AIRMATIC

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.

harman/kardon

Specifically engineered for the CL-Class, this premium digital sound system fills the cabin with 600 watts of beautifully balanced audio. No fewer than 15 strategically placed speakers deliver a wholly immersive listening experience through Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound technology. Digital Dynamic Volume Control impeccably and imperceptibly maintains the sound spectrum for consistent listening pleasure in varying driving conditions.
