Design
When the first CLS debuted, its "four-door coupe" shape sparked a sleek new era in car design. For its third generation, it's in better shape than ever. Standard AMG styling, 19-inch wheels and LED lighting reveal its lean, toned muscle.
Five seats at the forefront of style.
A flowing sculpture of leather, wood and satin alumium, the CLS cabin welcomes five passengers for the first time. The roomy rear cabin now offers seating for three. Heated, contoured power front seats envelop you in artful design and advanced comfort.
A sensation for all your senses.
The CLS entices you with a rich palette of leathers and woods, and 64 colours of LED ambient lighting, even in the dash vents. Available new ENERGIZING Comfort can relax or rejuvenate you with light, sound, climate and fragrance.
Technology with a human touch.
Smartphone-like Touch Controls let you swipe and select features and settings from the steering wheel. Your left thumb controls the instrumentation screen. Navigation, audio and all the features of the central screen are under your right thumb.
Part control room, part screening room.
A 12.3-inch screen unites navigation, entertainment, numerous comfort settings with intuitive touchpads on the console and steering wheel. An available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster offers a variety of display designs.
Innovation
Always a trendsetter in style, the CLS has long been a leader in innovation as well. With the latest Mercedes-Benz driver assists, lighting advances and cabin tech, the CLS reaches a new peak of intelligence while it piques your emotions.
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. PRE-SAFE Sound can sense an impending collision and pre-trigger your ears' natural defense against loud noises. [1] [2]
Insightful, and in sight.
Virtual instruments appear to float above the hood in a full-color display of vital driving data. The available Head-Up Display lets you see your driving speed, speed limits, navigation info and more while you stay focused on the road. [3]
Protective, proactive and progressive.
It can change lanes with a tap of the turn signal. Tell you when the speed limit changes. And prepare for an impact before it reaches you. Available driver assists help make driving simpler, safer and smoother, from long drives to hair-raising split seconds. [4]
More brilliant by degrees.
Having pioneered adaptive LED headlamps for all cars, the CLS reaches farther and wider for 2019 to brighten the road ahead. Available new Active MULTIBEAM LED headlamps adapt to corners while illuminating more of the roadsides.
Unplug and play.
Your smartphone. Your voice. Your CLS, your way. Standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto help you stay connected and on course. There's even standard wireless charging, just one more way your CLS makes sure you arrive re-energized. [5]
Performance
Innovative EQ Boost electrifies an all-new 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 new 362-hp turbo inline-6 teams tradition with technology. It's electrified with a new 48-volt Integrated Starter-Generator that can seamlessly provide a boost of 21-hp yet allow fuel-free coasting and lower emissions.
Power in all the right places.
The CLS 450 4MATIC continually sends torque to the wheels that can use it best. Lightweight, efficient 4MATIC adds all-wheel driving confidence on slippery roads, heightens fun in dry corners, and even quickens takeoffs. [6]
Nine speeds with know-how.
With nine speeds and fingertip shift paddles, the advanced 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission is more 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 standard AGILITY CONTROL suspension firms up to take on corners, relaxes to tame rough roads. Opting for DYNAMIC BODY CONTROL adds three damping modes, while AIR BODY CONTROL is a multimode, self-leveling air suspension option.
