Moments, in which we lose ourselves in contemplation of a masterpiece and forget the world around us. The CLS, an inimitable combination of a sporty coupé and a luxurious saloon which is always the focus of admiring looks, is difficult to define in words. It simply has to be experienced. Exterior design 9 There’s more to true beauty than just the sum of its individual parts 10 Exterior design Some designer pieces are better off on the road than in a museum The expressive lines of the CLS stylishly reconcile the sporty feel of a coupé with the elegance of a classic 4 - door saloon. The characteristic side feature line, the dynamic curve of the arching roof and the unmistakable profile lend the CLS a timeless beauty. Its entire appearance is a statement of automotive self - confidence. Quite simply, it is an accomplished combination of agility and comfort. Judicious adjustments to some it its exterior details, meanwhile, now make the design of the CLS more attractive than ever. Exterior design 13 Good design begins in the head of the designer and ends in the heart of the observer Those familiar with the CLS will notice that its face is now even more expressive. The area between the familiar, L - shaped headlamps is now spanned by two louvres, backed by an atlas grey diamond - pattern grille. This design element, which is also to be found in the air intakes in the front bumper, adds discreet emphasis to incisive look of the front section. Arrow - shaped repeater indicators in the exterior mirrors are another eye - catching feature. Exterior design 15 The characteristic spoiler lip at the rear provides a fitting conclusion to the distinctive design idiom of the CLS. The stylish lines of the boot lid conceal a luggage compartment which introduces a large measure of every-day practicality to the equation. Trapezoidal exhaust tailpipes and redesigned tail lights add the finishing touch to the attractive rear section. 16 Agility | Diesel engines 17 When you invest in a work of art, you should be au fait with the techniques used CLS 320 CDI 700 600 There’s more to life than just looking good. That’s why the impressive CLS engines also deliver outstanding performance. If you want immense pulling power, superb refinement and excellent fuel economy, the CLS 320 CDI with its V6 diesel engine is just the thing. The powerplant develops 165 kW ( 224 hp ) and a peak torque of 540 Nm from 1600 rpm. All of which makes for a pleasing responsiveness when accelerating and impressive pulling power for those spur - of - the - moment intermediate sprints. For further information on fuel consumption and CO2 emissions please see p. 71. 540 Nm 300 Equipped with the very latest 250 common - rail diesel technology, the 200 500 165 kW 400 150 300 100 200 50 100 0 2000 4000 6000 Engine speed ( rpm ) Torque ( Nm ) Output ( kW ) 0 V6 engine delivers high torque even at low revs 18 Agility | Petrol engines Looks its best when on the move CLS 280 CLS 350 CGI 700 It’s entirely up to you just how spirited you want your CLS to be. In the petrol range, you can choose from two V6 engines and a V8 powerplant. The entry - level model is the CLS 280 which has an output of 170 kW ( 231 hp ) and impresses with its highly responsive character. Those looking for a combination of sporty flair and innovative engine technology will find the CLS 350 CGI ideal. In this unit, the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber under high pressure via special piezoelectric injectors. This results in almost complete combustion of the fuel, thereby reducing exhaust emissions. Although capable of developing an impressive 215 kW ( 292 hp ), the dynamic CLS 350 CGI also offers favourable fuel consumption. 600 170 kW 500 400 300 Nm 300 200 100 0 2000 Engine speed ( rpm ) Torque ( Nm ) 4000 6000 300 700 250 600 300 250 215 kW 200 500 150 400 100 300 100 50 200 50 0 100 0 2000 Engine speed ( rpm ) 200 150 365 Nm 4000 6000 Output ( kW ) Which of the V6 petrol engines you choose is entirely a matter of personal taste – both offer an impressively comfortable driving experience 0 Agility | Petrol engines 21 Tastes will always differ. Expectations too CLS 500 700 The CLS 500 takes the concept of effortless superiority to even greater heights thanks to its 285 - kW ( 388 - hp ) V8 engine which makes sporty driving sheer pleasure. With a displacement of 5461 cc, this unit makes its rated torque of 530 newton metres available across a pleasingly broad engine speed range ( 2800 to 4800 rpm ) to deliver thrilling pulling power. But regardless of the engine version you choose, you can always count on the CLS to deliver an extremely agile and comfortable driving experience. 285 kW 600 530 Nm 300 The V8 engine in the 250 CLS 500 impresses with its smoothness 500 200 400 150 delivery – assets which 300 100 combine to create an 200 50 100 0 2000 4000 6000 Engine speed ( rpm ) Torque ( Nm ) Output ( kW ) 0 and its dynamic power effortlessly superior driving experience 22 Agility | Transmission 23 There are those who think the number seven has magical properties – our transmission developers, for example Mercedes - Benz has always been associated with particularly refined and long - lasting automatic transmissions. Hardly surprising, perhaps, when you consider that, forty years ago, we were the first manufacturer to offer a car equipped with a hydraulic automatic transmission. Much has happened since then. And since the CLS is brimming with leading-edge technology from start to finish, all the models are equipped as standard with the innovative 7G - TRONIC automatic transmission. Its seven forward gears allow it to react on the basis of smaller differences in engine speed, for ultra-smooth gearchanges. Optional steering - wheel shift paddles make for even faster gear changes. 24 Agility | AIRMATIC Sometimes it pays to be hard. Other times a softly, softly approach is called for Whether it be rough cobblestones or a smooth motorway, effortlessly serene progress is assured courtesy of AIRMATIC DC. This semi - active air suspension system prevents uneven road surfaces from compromising ride comfort. You can choose from three suspension modes at the touch of a button : comfort, sporty comfort or sport. To ensure that the level of the vehicle remains constant, self - levelling suspension is also included. At higher speeds, the body is automatically lowered to reduce pitch and roll movements. This system is standard for the 8 - cylinder models and can be specified as an optional extra for the 6 - cylinder versions. AIRMATIC DC adjusts the suspension response to your driving style, regardless of how laden the vehicle is, and thus offers even greater directional stability and road adhesion 25 AIRMATIC DC opens up a new dimension of comfortable and sporty driving. This is made possible by the adaptive damping system which continuously adjusts the firmness of the air suspension in accordance with the current driving situation. Instead of conventional coil springs, an electronic system adjusts the settings of the air springs by varying the air pressure to create a harder or softer set - up. Each spring strut has an additional volume of air which can be partially deactivated if necessary. If the sensors register a sporty driving style, for instance, the comfortable basic suspension automatically becomes firmer. The suspension set - up can also be adjusted manually. 26 Before you set out on your journey, we set out to make it as safe as possible Trend - setting active and passive safety technology is central to the Mercedes - Benz safety concept. The CLS is equipped with numerous assistance systems whose sensors continuously monitor the driving situation, identifying hazards and triggering remedial measures where possible. Safety functions such as ESP , ASR, ABS and BAS are, of course, standard in the CLS. In the event of a rear - end collision of a given degree of severity, the active NECK - PRO front head restraints move forwards and upwards instantly in order to support the head at an earlier stage. Depending on the type and severity of impact, the front airbags, sidebags and windowbags can be triggered selectively and inflated to differing degrees in accordance with the accident conditions. Furthermore, the CLS is equipped with the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system which includes the practical HOLD function. This holds the vehicle on a slope without requiring the driver to maintain pressure on the footbrake. It is complemented by the practical hill start assist function which prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when setting off on a slope. In the event of emergency braking, the adaptive brake light function warns following traffic by flashing the brake lights during the braking process and activating the hazard warning lights once the vehicle comes to a standstill. More information about safety is available at www.mercedes - benz.com / airbag - brochure The active NECK - PRO front head restraints can help prevent whiplash injuries Safety | PRO - SAFE ™ 27 The passenger safety cell, with its crumple zones and outstandingly high level of torsional stiffness, contributes to optimum safety 28 Safety | Active light function Some lateral thinking by us means better visibility on bends for you Driving on winding roads requires the utmost in concentration, especially at night. To make life much easier for you, the CLS comes with the option of bi - xenon headlamps, whose luminance is twice that of conventional halogen bulbs. The active light function ( optional ) allows the headlamps to follow the driver’s steering movements, improving illumination on bends by up to 25 %. Furthermore, the cornering light function is activated automatically as required, at speeds of up to 40 km / h, in order to boost the effect of the headlamps : when you start to turn the steering wheel, the fog lamp on the relevant side of the car is switched on in addition to the headlamps in order to ensure optimum illumination of the bend. The same thing happens when you indicate to make a turn. Bi - xenon technology also has further advantages in that the bulbs last much longer and use less energy than their conventional counterparts. Safety | DISTRONIC For drivers who feel that distance lends the best perspective DISTRONIC measures the position and speed of the vehicle in front by means of a radar sensor behind the Mercedes star. These data are used to adapt the speed of your CLS ( through corresponding adjustments to the engine output / application of braking force ) in order to maintain a constant distance to the vehicle in front. 29 AMG | CLS 63 AMG One of the quickest ways to upgrade from first class You’re torn between a coupé, a saloon and a thoroughbred sports car with performance to match ? Then you simply need to take a decision: in favour of the CLS 63 AMG. As well as offering you a superbly dynamic driving experience, it also boasts visual highlights such as distinctive 19 - inch AMG triple - spoke light - alloy wheels. What’s more, the AMG V8 powerplant has a rated output of 378 kW ( 514 hp ) and an impressive peak torque of 630 Nm. The CLS 63 AMG completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. As well as performing like a top athlete, it also looks like one, cutting a dashing figure wherever it goes. And thanks to its new double-declutching function, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC transmission makes for a more compelling experience and for even greater directional stability when shifting down during cornering. 31 32 AMG | CLS 63 AMG High - performance sport in its most aesthetic form The AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel A wealth of sporty highlights await you inside the CLS 63 AMG, including fine nappa leather upholstery on the exclusive AMG sports seats with Alcantara inserts. The AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel with aluminium shift paddles for manual operation of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G - TRONIC transmission feels as good as it looks. In this respect, it is in perfect company alongside the AMG instrument cluster including RACETIMER. AMG sports seats upholstered in fine nappa leather with Alcantara inserts AMG | AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO 33 The AMG performance steering wheel has a comfortable, sporty Designed to put the power down – 19 - inch AMG twin - spoke The AMG limited - slip differential enhances the driv- feel to match its looks forged light - alloy wheel ing dynamics by diverting superfluous drive torque when cornering or driving on uneven road surfaces The AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO offers you a wealth of additional options for further enhancing your CLS 63 AMG, on both a technical and a visual level. These include the AMG performance package comprising internally ventilated composite brake discs with a diameter of 390 mm at the front, an AMG limited - slip differential at the rear and forged 19 - inch AMG twin - spoke light - alloy wheels all round. This package also includes the AMG performance suspension and an AMG performance steering wheel which feels as good as it looks. 34 A magnet for admiring glances in its standard form, the CLS 63 AMG can be given an even sportier appearance with optional AMG carbon - fibre trim elements and illuminated AMG door sills for the interior as well as an optional AMG exterior carbon - fibre package. AMG | Equipment Fashion moves with the times. AMG is ahead of them The optional AMG bodystyling allows you to give any CLS model a sportier look. It comprises a distinctive front apron with large air intakes, a rear apron with a black insert, AMG tailpipes and AMG side sill panels. Attractive 19 - inch AMG 5 - spoke light - alloy wheels with a high - sheen finish can also be specified. 35 Comfort | Interior 37 Exclusivity all the way Whether it be a short trip or a long journey, you will always arrive feeling relaxed in the CLS. Because comfort and convenience are writ especially large in the interior. The sitting position, seat cushion height, backrest angle and seat length can all be adjusted to suit the individual requirements of the front occupants courtesy of the 4 - way power seat adjustment function. As well as giving you full control over seat comfort, the CLS is equipped as standard with a 3 - spoke leather - trimmed steering wheel, which feels as good as it looks. And whatever your surroundings, the view inside the cockpit is always enjoyable : the combination of the pinstripe background of the instrument cluster and the white dials creates a particularly sporty look. The new - look instrument cluster with white dials supplies you with a wealth of key information Comfort | Interior 39 Coupés and grand coupés are worlds apart. Especially when it comes to legroom Just as there are hotels, there are also Grand Hotels. The difference between them is to be found principally in the degree of comfort offered. By analogy, the term “Grand Coupé” is the perfect description for the CLS. When you take your seat, you will find that the passenger cabin offers practically everything you could wish for with regard to comfort features which reduce driver stress. Its leg, elbow and headroom are more generous than those of just about any other coupé. The wide centre console can be used as a comfortable armrest while the fine materials and high - quality workmanship throughout the extremely spacious interior create such an exclusive ambience that you could be forgiven for never wanting to get out again. 40 Comfort | Interior Some qualities only reveal themselves in the long run A car designed to meet the highest customer expectations has to excel in many different areas. One of these is, of course, the way it performs on the road. But intelligent ergonomics and a high standard of comfort are scarcely less important. All four occupants of the CLS will be able to enjoy both – even on longer trips. This is because the rear passengers get a whole lot more than just their own doors. The rear compartment also boasts two comfortable individual seats that are extremely generous when it comes to elbowroom and legroom. And if you order the optional THERMOTRONIC luxury automatic climate control system, each rear passenger gets their own separately controllable temperature zone. The THERMOTRONIC luxury automatic climate control system also allows the rear occupants to choose their own temperature settings 42 Comfort | Interior Ideal surroundings for those who like to be in control Audio 50 APS offers you DVD navigation with an arrow display and junction zoom. The innovative COMAND APS control and display system is now even more user - friendly. The functions can be entered using the ergonomically positioned input array on the centre console while many functions can also be controlled directly from the steering wheel. And if the LINGUATRONIC voice - operated control system is fitted, the audio, telephone and navigation systems become even easier to use. The optional AUDIO 50 APS provides you with information about the many The optional COMAND APS has even more interactive functions which are different functions that can be controlled by the system presented on a 6.5 - inch colour display Comfort | Interior 45 The loudspeakers of the Harman Kardon  Logic 7  surround sound system are specially matched to the interior of the CLS for optimum sound reproduction The interior ambience of the CLS is everything you would expect of a Mercedes. In the rear, your passengers are accommodated in extremely comfortable individual seats separated by the continuation of the centre console. The latter is equipped with practical stowage compartments, while a particularly wide centre armrest can be folded down for even greater seating comfort. Outstanding workmanship and high-quality, exclusive materials also contribute to the unique atmosphere which Mercedes-Benz has made synonymous with refined automotive comfort. And to make sure that all the occupants can enjoy an ideal listening experience, the CLS is equipped as standard with nine loudspeakers. This system can be extended to as many as twelve speakers with the optional Harman Kardon  Logic 7  or AMG high-end surround sound system. 46 Interior | designo It’s already a thing of beauty.
