Conceived with a 4.6L bi-turbo V8 direct injection engine delivering 402 hp and exceptional fuel economy, rest assured that not only does the CLS 550 4MATIC™ stand as a benchmark of exceptional design but also, one of incredible power and efficiency. Whether you prefer an economical or a sporty driving style, the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission has been optimized for the all-new CLS 550 4MATIC™. Seven gear ratios provide a larger ratio spread and can react on the basis of smaller differences in engine speed. This produces faster shift operations, which in turn, make for smoother running and improved ride comfort.

What kind of ride would you like your CLS-Class to have – one that maximizes its athletic potential or one which puts the emphasis on comfort? With the
AIRMATIC DC air suspension system[1], you can make your choice at the touch of a button. Instead of conventional coil springs, an electronic system adjusts the setting of the air springs by using compressed air to create a firmer or softer set-up to suit the given situation. If the sensors register sporty driving, the suspension automatically becomes firmer. The AIRMATIC DC air suspension system also includes the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) allowing the driver to select between comfort, sport and automatic dampening.
