It’s an irresistible character – even at a standstill, the all-new 2012 CLS-Class
has the power to blow you away. This four-door coupe combines timeless elegance
with expressive design like no other car before it. From its awe-inspiring sporty
front grille emblazoned with the iconic three-pointed star, to its dynamic side
contours that lead your eyes all the way back to the powerful, muscular rear
section – extraordinary is the norm. And the dynamic AMG Styling Package
further enhances its chiseled form with 18" AMG 5-spoke wheels and an
aggressive single-louvre grille. It’s a perfect blend of power and beauty. But don’t
hold back, because the all-new CLS-Class certainly doesn’t.

There’s no shame in going weak at the knees – true beauty will always have
that effect. Much like the interior design of the all-new CLS; from the moment
you open the door, the ambient interior lighting – available in your choice of
neutral, solar, or polar hues – begins to seduce you visually. The impressive
union of fine leather and wood trim surfaces – the most in any Mercedes-Benz
model – satisfies even the most exacting design and comfort requirements.
The only shame would be to not get in.

Another hallmark of the four-door coupe is its ample legroom – now backseat
passengers will enjoy the same comfort as you do. But any seat in the CLS is
always first class, especially when it’s adorned with supple PASSION leather[1].
Visually stunning and extremely comfortable – it makes for an interior cabin
you’ll consider your home away from home.

The front of any vehicle conveys an impression of its character. And while the
new active LED headlamps[2] look fantastic, they can back it up with genuine
performance. The LED headlamps follow the driver’s steering angle for better
visibility around turns, providing increased clarity in all driving situations.

The all-new 2012 CLS-Class delivers nothing less than an exceptional driving
experience. Formidable turbocharged engines deliver impressive levels of torque,
while advanced transmission, suspension and steering systems ensure their
power is transferred smoothly and effortlessly to the road. Selective damping
constantly monitors the road, acting within milliseconds to adapt the suspension
accordingly. This is complemented by the newly developed electro-mechanical
Direct Steering system, which reduces the steering effort required when parking.
At high speeds on the other hand, the emphasis is on straight-line stability, leading
to more assured steering response across the speed range. In addition, this
feature also enables the CLS-Class to incorporate innovative assistance systems
such as Active Parking Assist, which automatically guides your vehicle
when parking.
