Mercedes - CL 550 4matic - Brochure - 2014 - 2014

CL CLASS 2014 CL 550 4matic shown on cover and above with Monarch Blue metallic paint, and optional Driver Assistance and Sport Packages. Presence makes the heart go faster. How do you measure passion? It doesn’t matter how it compares to anyone else’s, nor how it comes to be. It cannot be catalogued, itemized or quantified. All that counts is how it feels to you — and that, at this very moment, you feel it. Ever since the sensuous, streamlined 540 K “Autobahnkurier” startled the crowds at 1934’s Berlin Motor Show, the magnetism of a Mercedes‑Benz coupe has been undeniable. Instantly acclaimed as the most beautiful car in the world, it set new precedents not just for design but for performance. Conceived, and named, for Germany’s now-legendary high-speed highways, it also established the Mercedes ‑Benz works in Sindelfingen — the Stuttgart neighborhood where it operates to this day — as an automaker on par with the era’s grand coachbuilders. Since then, the deep principles and passion that unite power, beauty and luxury have continued undiminished under the Three-Pointed Star. Even alongside the standard-bearing sedans and superlative sports cars with which they share their innovations, the flagship Mercedes ‑Benz coupe always stands out. Year after year, it exemplifies progress and prowess with a more personal expression of its driver’s own passions. Which is why no car today feels quite like the 2014 CL‑ Class. Its pillarless coupe design asserts the peerless performance within. And its mere presence stirs emotions that can neither be quantified nor contained. Uninhibited. When you think about the milestones Mercedes-Benz has set during the history of the automobile, a clear pattern emerges. From trendsetting style to groundbreaking safety, the heritage they collectively created has always been one of thrusting history forward. It’s evident in the way every element of a car transforms not just itself but the entire motoring world — as imagination gives birth to innovation, optimism begets opportunity, and engineering sparks emotion. It’s something that’s both visible and tangible in the CL‑Class. Its airy pillarless profile embraces the sumptuous four-seat cabin without closing in on it. And it composes rigid standards in performance, comfort and safety into an openly jubilant driving experience. Mercedes-Benz only makes the four models of the CL‑Class in limited numbers. That’s precisely why they feel unconstrained by the limitations of ordinary cars. And it’s how they set your inhibitions free as well. CL 550 4matic CL 600 1 CL 63 AMG 1 CL 65 AMG 1 An advanced 429‑hp biturbo V‑8 rushes the CL 550 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.2 Its paddle-shifted 7‑speed automatic has been engineered for crisp, smooth and efficient shifting. Its semi-active AIRMATIC suspension expertly balances comfort and handling, while featuring 4 ‑wheel level control and a selectable Sport mode. Standard 4matic® all-wheel drive3 makes the best use of all four standard 18" 5‑spoke wheels,4 based on each tire’s grip. Lightweight, nimble and efficient, 4matic enhances driver confidence and enjoyment year-round. A 510‑hp biturbo V‑12 generates heroic power with superlative smoothness, for 0–60 mph in just 4.5 seconds. A robust paddle-shifted 5‑speed automatic deftly manages the abundant torque sent to the rear wheels. Active Body Control® (ABC) — pioneered by the CL‑Class and one of the most advanced suspensions in production — masters both cornering and comfort by creating counterforces of its own. ABC helps to keep the body level and flat under varying conditions, to conduct every move of the standard 19" multispoke wheels with agile grace. Racing-bred power and rich refinement are a natural pair in this 536‑hp super coupe. So are its handcrafted biturbo V‑8 and lightning-quick 7‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT ® MCT transmission. Its adept AMG-calibrated ABC suspension is the ideal partner for its 20" AMG twin 5‑spoke wheels. And each front wheel is braked by its own pair of calipers. The 0–60 run occurs in 4.4 seconds, yet it’ll cruise all day in relaxing comfort. Or let the AMG Performance Package turn a triple play of higher power, torque and top speed5 into a performance home run. Extreme performance meets elegant luxury in an exclusive coupe that nearly defies description. Its hand-built 621‑hp biturbo V‑12 rockets it to 60 mph in only 4.2 seconds, precisely paced by its 5‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission. AMG-calibrated ABC and lightweight forged-alloy 20" AMG twin 5‑spoke wheels collaborate to keep cornering almost perfectly flat, yet they can iron virtually every bump out of the roadway. Enormous brake calipers — two at each front wheel — combine potent stopping ability with precise feel and modulation. CL 550 4matic shown with Magnetite Black metallic paint, and optional Driver Assistance and Sport Packages.

Romance might not be the first word you associate with engineering. But for half a century, only the engineers of Mercedes-Benz have continuously devoted their passion to creating coupes whose sleek profiles are uninterrupted by visible framework. Their panoramic beauty is called pillarless. Their unbridled passion is peerless. The taut, sweeping profile of the CL‑Class is a rare sight to behold in the everyday world. But to gaze toward the horizon from any of its four exquisitely crafted seats is a revelation. The panoramic vistas afforded by its pillarless coupe design may exist purely for its aesthetic benefits, but it’s an invisible tribute to its engineering intensity. To provide four power side windows with no interrupting framework requires an elaborate, highly rigid body structure. It’s a legendary Mercedes -Benz trait in any body configuration, paying dividends in handling precision, occupant protection and quiet comfort. The level of expertise and expense required to combine such rigid standards with romantic notions likely explains why almost every other automaker long ago abandoned the pillarless coupe. Of course, devotion to detail is also readily apparent throughout the CL‑Class. Every element that you can see and touch reflects the expert eyes and hands of the men and women who take their time crafting it — from the flowing central console, to the impeccably top-stitched dash, to the analog timepiece that honors the classic Mercedes-Benz coupes in its rich heritage. Only one automaker has created pillarless coupes for over 50 years without interruption. And only one has brought their timeless style and peerless performance to life in the same fashion — allowing nothing to impede their progress. CL 63 AMG shown with optional Diamond White metallic paint and Driver Assistance Package. Please see endnotes on back cover. Milestones per hour. In the 1930s, the Mercedes-Benz 500 K featured a supercharger and 4‑wheel independent suspension. The 1955 300 Sc was fuel-injected. In 2000, the CL 500 debuted a fully active suspension. The groundbreaking, breathtaking coupes of Mercedes-Benz have a long-standing tradition — of never allowing progress to stand still. From the grand coupes of the streamlined 1930s to the turn of the 21st century, the flagship Mercedes-Benz coupes have long quickened the pulse of performance. For 2014, the CL 550 and CL 600 coupes keep the inspired passion of its forebears fully aflame with their own unique confluence of biturbo power and a highly advanced chassis. A 429‑hp biturbo V‑8 in the CL 550 4matic ® employs advanced engineering to evoke more power and torque from less gasoline, with fewer emissions. Its innovative technologies include high-pressure Direct Injection — a dramatic evolution of technology pioneered in Mercedes-Benz racecars and production cars in the 1950s — and rapid-multispark ignition. Both systems can fine-tune their response in a matter of a single millisecond, not just to make the engine’s performance more efficient at the next combustion cycle, but to make the most of the moment at hand. The CL 550’s AIRMATIC® suspension teams with 4matic all-wheel drive to turn torque into tenacity. The semi-active air suspension’s adjustable air springs feature a two-mode Adaptive Damping System. ADS instantly adjusts each shock absorber every time a wheel moves up or down. Standard 4 ‑wheel level control draws the car closer to the road at higher speeds — helping to reduce drag and enhance stability. Lightweight 4matic all-wheel drive features a 45:55 front/rear torque split, for handling that’s nimble on dry roads and reassuring in rain or snow. Its 4‑wheel Electronic Traction System (4‑ETS®) continually redistributes power to the wheels — or even to a single wheel — with the best grip.3 Bold 18" alloy wheels are standard, while an array of 19" and 20" options include iconic AMG® wheels in two Sport Packages.4 A 510‑hp biturbo V‑12 in the CL 600 creates its superlative output with supernatural ease. High-pressure turbochargers and liquid-to-air intercoolers feed dense air to each bank of its rigid, lightweight diecast alloy block. In return, it delivers 100% of its torrential 612 lb‑ft of peak torque starting at just 1,800 rpm. The CL 600’s advanced Active Body Control (ABC®) is both self-leveling and self-lowering. Its network of high-pressure hydraulics can instantly generate counterforces to help keep the body level — both side -to-side and end-to-end — over bumps and dips, and in hard corners. The result is an uncompromised coexistence of unfettered ride comfort with cornering that’s virtually free of body roll. It all takes to the road on 19" wheels or optional 20" wheels with high-performance tires. Performance art, signed by the artist. Mounted atop every AMG engine is a small plaque bearing the signature of the single technician who crafted it by hand. More than a crown jewel of racing royalty, it authenticates a philosophy that’s been the driving force behind championship racecars for 46 years. For the high-performance AMG automobiles that carry this motorsports pedigree to the streets of the world, “One man, one engine” is far more than a spiritual legacy. It’s also tangibly evident in the meticulous engineering, proven endurance and superlative performance that three letters — and one signature — certify. CL 63 AMG.1 CL 65 AMG.1 While a master engine builder takes his time handcrafting the biturbo V-8 of the CL 63, it might be the last time it ever experiences such an unhurried pace. With 536 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, it delivers 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.2 Twelve cylinders and two turbochargers add up to 621 handmade horsepower and an incredible 738 lb-ft of torque. Factor in a robust, paddle-shifted 5-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT transmission, and the net result is quick: 0–60 in just 4.2 seconds. The 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT ® MCT multi-clutch transmission offers four modes. The paddle -shifted Manual mode can change gears in 100 milliseconds, with rev-matched downshifts announced by the snarl of the growling exhaust. An ECO Start/Stop system helps save fuel. Innovative brakes featuring two calipers per front wheel and the extraordinary ABC suspension each reflect their AMG engineering. Together they take charge of the road on ultralight, forged-alloy 20" AMG wheels that are staggered in width. Twin- caliper front brakes, 20" AMG ® wheels4 and AMG -calibrated Active Body Control® (ABC) collaborate for brilliant response. An optional AMG Performance Package raises power to 563 hp, torque to 664 lb‑ft, and top speed to 186 mph.5 Exclusively outfitted. Between their single -crosswing grille and distinctive exhaust tips, aerodynamically sculpted lower bodywork sets each AMG CL model apart. Each model integrates its own cabin appointments and details. CL 63 AMG shown with Iridium Silver metallic paint and optional Driver Assistance Package. Please see endnotes on back cover. The insight to change the outcome. Look at the list of safety features in most any car today, and you’ll be looking into the history of Mercedes-Benz. Our engineers have been driving the future of automotive safety for more than 60 years, including such industry benchmarks as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and Bi‑Xenon headlamps, both pioneered by the CL‑ Class. Yet even with recent breakthroughs like PRE‑SAFE® predictive occupant protection, ATTENTION ASSIST® driver-drowsiness detection, and Night View Assist PLUS — all standard — a 2014 CL-Class is not engineered as a mere list of features. It’s a carefully orchestrated safety system — designed to make the most of every millisecond it takes to help avoid or survive a collision. Perhaps no automaker has done more to change the course of automotive history — or help preserve the course of your own. Pioneers of accident avoidance. A watchful eye for a drowsy driver. Two systems that were first introduced by Mercedes-Benz to help you avoid potential collisions have since been adopted by virtually every automaker. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP ®) monitors the car’s response to driving inputs such as steering and braking, and responds when needed to help keep the car on course.3 Brake Assist (BAS®) can instantly maximize braking pressure if it detects an emergency braking situation — potentially shortening your overall stopping distance.6 By continually monitoring a variety of driving behaviors, ATTENTION ASSIST® is a Mercedes -Benz innovation that can alert you if it detects telltale signs of drowsiness on long trips. More than 70 variables are measured, starting in the first minutes of each drive, to establish a pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.7 Confidence that starts as you stop. Adaptive braking technology helps make driving more reassuring and relaxing. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for quicker response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep away water buildup on the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps to prevent unwanted rollback. And a brake HOLD feature can help to make stop-and-go traffic less stressful.6 Predictive occupant protection. PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then adjust the front passenger seat, close the front windows and close the sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants in the moments leading up to a possible collision.8 Brilliant lighting, by day or night. Bi‑Xenon headlamps create light that’s more like natural daylight than halogen lamps. Active Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist continuously vary the headlamp beam pattern to maximize illumination of corners and straightaways, without creating glare for other drivers. Corner-illuminating front lamps help to brighten your turns into driveways. LED Daytime Running Lamps, turn signals, taillamps and brake lamps help assert your presence and intended maneuvers to other drivers. Cruise control that stops and goes. Available DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control9 uses radar technology to adjust your set cruising speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead — automatically slowing until your path clears. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, it can brake to a full halt, then resume automatically when traffic starts going.10 Even if you’re not using cruise control, it can help sense an impending collision with a vehicle ahead. After sounding an alert, its PRE‑SAFE Brake feature can automatically apply up to 100% of the car’s braking force to help reduce the severity of impact.6 Driving assists with virtual vision. During nighttime driving, standard Night View Assist PLUS can project invisible infrared beams and read them with a special camera. The system displays a supplemental real-time view of the road ahead in the dash. It can also help to identify pedestrians along a dark roadway.11 Available Active Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists9 can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane,12 and can warn you of unintended drifting across visible lane markings.7 If you disregard the alerts, advanced technology in both systems can help guide the car back into its own lane. An integrated system of protection. Even without conventional full B‑pillars, the CL‑Class body achieves exceptional rigidity. The extensive use of ultra -high and high-strength steel in critical areas helps it manage both weight and impact forces. A system of nine air bags offers 11-way protection, with dual -stage front air bags, a driver’s knee air bag, plus side -impact air bags and side curtain air bags for every seat.13 In a rear impact, NECK‑PRO® active front head restraints help reduce whiplash. And if an air bag or a seat-belt Emergency Tensioning Device is ever activated, the standard Mercedes -Benz mbrace® system14 can automatically place a call for help. CL 550 4matic shown with Black paint, and optional Driver Assistance and Sport Packages.

Its technological innovations illuminate a future in which information and entertainment team with intuition and elegance — from the powerful simplicity of its central controller to the ease with which it responds to your voice. The craftsmanship evident in its impeccably stitched seats, dash and console, and in the hand-finished wood cascading from its dash, recalls an era of handwork that’s all but forgotten by most automakers. As you savor its lavish comforts, any journey is measured not in time and distance but by the experience the car grants to all four of its individually seated occupants. It’s a habitat that transcends space as well, from its generous room and gracefully flowing design to the panoramic views presented by its frameless, dual-pane and infrared -reflecting side windows. Futuristic innovation feels instantly familiar in the CL‑Class, yet it remains endlessly fascinating. And from the driver seat, what starts as a moment of motoring passion is sustained as an unforgettable sensation of time well spent. Memorable comfort, thoughtful support. Endless entertainment, easy directions. Close at hand, clear at a glance. Advanced convenience, timeless crafting. Heated and Active Ventilated front seats each feature 12‑way power adjustment and 3‑position memory. Each is also an active multicontour seat, offering fine-tuning of the lumbar, thigh and shoulder supports, added lateral support when cornering, and a rejuvenating massage. Rear passengers enjoy individual seats and a full console trimmed in hand-polished wood. All four seats are hand-fitted with supple semianiline leather. A wood/leather steering wheel places audio, Bluetooth®15 and other frequently used controls at your thumbs. Available heating 9 of its Nappa leather rim can rapidly offer warmth to your hands — soothing on chilly mornings. A 15‑speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7 ® system outputs 600 watts of lush Dolby ® Digital 5.1 surround sound. And your listening choices are virtually limitless. Tune in subscription-free HD Radio™ stations, or nationwide SiriusXM Radio with a 6-month All Access plan trial.16 Or bring your own music aboard with an in‑dash 6‑DVD/CD changer, a memory card reader, a Media Interface for iPod® integration,17 an AUX jack and USB port, and even a 7.2GB Music Register for storing digital music files. The 40GB hard-drive navigation system18 features SiriusXM Traffic16 with automatic re-routing around tie-ups based on real-time road reports. With an elegant central controller and vivid 8" in-dash widescreen, the COMAND® system provides easy access to entertainment and navigation, along with illustrated menus that let you personalize numerous comfort settings. An advanced voice control system can learn your own way of speaking. Crisp, clear instruments include a second, multifunctional 8" screen that serves primarily as the analog speedometer. PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance sizes up parallel-parking spots as you drive by, then helps you back in with steering instructions. And as you do, a rear view camera19 helps to reveal what’s behind you on the in-dash screen. Unexpected amenities abound in the cabin. KEYLESS‑GO® lets you unlock and start the car without taking the key from your pocket. Power ports include a household-type 115-volt socket. Dual-zone climate control filters dust, pollen, smog and odors. The exclusive SPLITVIEW option20 lets the front passenger watch a DVD movie on the in-dash screen while the driver sees only its COMAND system functions. When driving in darkness, fiber-optic LED ambient lighting casts a soothing glow in any of three selectable hues. By day or night, your choice of hand-polished woods — or genuine carbon fiber on the AMG models — offers a glow all its own. Your world, your way. It’s more than your car. It’s your life, on the go.

To appreciate the way a CL‑Class is finished, you have to look at where it starts. Certainly there are faster, easier ways to build an automobile than fitting its upholstery and polishing its wood trim by hand. And there are finishes whose luster seems nearly as deep as the ceramic-infused nanotechnology paintwork pioneered by Mercedes-Benz. What you see on the surface of a Mercedes-Benz reflects something far deeper: a tradition of extraordinary craftsmanship, and a belief that timeless design and lasting performance deserve an equally enduring showcase. Individually chosen, exquisitely crafted. designo is an exclusive program of paintwork, leather and interior trim choices offering an extraordinary degree of handcrafted quality and personalization. To learn more about the designo paint and interior options for the 2014 CL-Class, please ask your dealer, or visit MBUSA.com/designo.

For a small blue planet. 1 2 3 For more than 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. And for generations, Mercedes -Benz has been breaking new ground to help preserve the earth for future generations. We introduced the world’s first 100% CFC-free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production process. We’ve used water-borne paint since the 1990s. And our interiors have long used steam-expanded foam, sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, flax and even olives. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, leading not just to today’s Direct Injection gasoline, clean diesel and hybrid models, but to the electric and fuel cell vehicles of a tomorrow that’s already here. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car that lasts as one that won’t. And along with award-winning factories and processes, we’re helping to develop local infrastructures around the world to help bring a greener future to life. Like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz innovation, today’s work sets the stage for the mobility — and the planet — that everyone will enjoy tomorrow. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 YOUTUBE LOGO SPECS PRINT main red gradient bottom C0 M96 Y90 K2 C13 M96 Y81 K54 PMS 1795C PMS 1815C white black C0 M0 Y0 K0 C100 M100 Y100 K100 WHITE BLACK on light backgrounds standard on dark backgrounds standard 14 Join the conversation. no gradients no gradients facebook.com/mercedesbenzusa watermark linkedin.com/company/mercedes-benz-usa 15 watermark twitter.com/mbusa stacked logo (for sharing only) pinterest.com/mercedesbenzusa 16 stacked logo (for sharing only) youtube.com/mbusa foursquare.com/mbusa instagram.com/mbusa MBUSA plus.google.com/+mbusa MBUSA.com 17 18 19 20 21 22 ©2013 Mercedes -Benz USA, LLC, One Mercedes Drive, Montvale, NJ 07645 1-800 -FOR-MERCEDES • MBUSA.com Marketing Communications.

Please see your dealer. Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires. Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions. Obey local speed and traffic laws. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and/or Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Lane Keeping Assist operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph. PRE-SAFE ® closes the front windows when the system’s sensors detect side movement that suggests a possible rollover or side impact. Features noted are standard on CL 600 and CL 65 AMG. Heated steering wheel is optional on CL 63 AMG and CL 65 AMG at no extra charge, and includes wood/leather steering wheel. DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, system resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds. Night View Assist PLUS does not replace the use of headlamps and must not be used as the primary visual source for the driver. Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It must not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.
