Design
With its "four-door coupe" shape, the first CLS sparked a sleek new era in car design. With standard AMG styling, 19-inch wheels and LED lighting, the 3rd-generation CLS is in better shape than ever.
A sensation for all your senses.
The CLS entices you with a rich palette of leathers and woods, and 64 colors of LED ambient lighting, even in the dash vents. Available Air Balance can infuse purified cabin air with subtle fragrance.
Technology with a human touch.
Smartphone-like Touch Controls let you swipe and select features and settings from the steering wheel. A new touchscreen and a console touchpad offer additional, intuitive fingertip controls.
Part control room, part screening room.
Dual 12.3-inch screens are visually and functionally seamless: A central multimedia touchscreen for navigation, entertainment and many comfort settings. And a digital instrument cluster with reconfigurable displays.
PERFORMANCE
Innovative EQ Boost electrifies an exuberant turbo inline-6 to benefit power, torque, efficiency and emissions all at once. And thrill the driver all the time.
Straight six with an electrifying twist.
A 362-hp turbo inline-6 teams tradition with technology. It's electrified with a 48-volt Integrated Starter-Generator that can seamlessly add up to 21 hp yet allow fuel-free coasting and lower emissions.
Power in all the right places.
The CLS 450 4MATIC sends torque to the wheels that can use it best. Light, efficient 4MATIC® adds all-wheel driving confidence on slippery roads, heightens fun in dry corners, and even quickens takeoffs. Disclaimer[3]
Nine speeds with know-how.
With nine speeds and shift paddles, the advanced 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission is flexible, decisive, and adaptable. The multiple modes of DYNAMIC SELECT let you fine-tune the driving character of your CLS.
Hugs the road, embraces change.
The lowered multilink suspension's selective damping can firm up in corners, relax to tame rough roads. Optional self-leveling AIR BODY CONTROL adapts to roads, loads, and the modes of DYNAMIC SELECT.
INNOVATION
A trendsetter in style, the CLS has long been a leader in innovation as well. Industry-advancing driver assists and a virtual voice assistant can deliver intelligence with intuitive ease.
Say what you want: Your CLS responds.
"Hey, Mercedes, it's cold in here." "I need a coffee." The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) lets you control many cabin features by talking. Among them is MB Navigation, available with new tech that can also overlay instructions on live video of a turn. Disclaimer[4]
Reaches farther, reacts faster.
"Car-to-X" technology lets your CLS communicate with a central hub to report and receive updates about driving conditions beyond your line of sight. If PRE-SAFE® Sound detects an impending collision, it can act to pre-trigger your ears' natural defense against loud noises. Disclaimer[5] Disclaimer[6]
Insightful, and in sight.
Virtual instruments "float" over the hood in a full-color display of vital driving data. The available Head-Up Display can show driving speed, speed limits, navigation info and more while you stay focused on the road. Disclaimer[4] Disclaimer[7]
Protective, proactive and progressive.
Next-generation options can help de-stress driving: Tap a turn signal to change lanes. Adaptive cruise can help steer, stop-and-go in traffic, even slow for exits. Safety sensors can prepare for an impact before it reaches you. Disclaimer[8]
More brilliant by degrees.
The CLS pioneered adaptive LED headlamps for all cars years ago. Now they're available with Ultra Wide Highbeams that can adapt to corners and other cars, while illuminating more of the roadsides.
