on

The new Mercedes-Benz CLS is still a part of the latest four-door coupe and is made mostly for those who favor two-door cars but need something with more space. The new Mercedes-Benz CLS has finally added the new sportiness and safety features to the Mercedes-Benz class and then some. The CLS is a new evolvement not only in its own class but for the vehicular business overall.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLS, first launched throughout Europe, comes with full 24-LED headlights with additionally optional low beam lights. The low beams come with a rotation capability of 12 degrees in order to shine the light around the view of the turns. Its windshield cameras calculate at 100 beats per second in order to determine the best patterns necessary for the current driving condition. The cameras control 24 out of its 36 total lights on an independent basis. As a result, the new Mercedes-Benz CLS has a new ability to increase its illumination in the presence of another oncoming motorist without the danger of obscuring his or her vision. Also in case of driving through fog, the illumination cuts through the fog.

It also comes with a new driving persistence package to further add to its simultaneous safety and comfort features. Some models come with a nine-speed automatic transmission, which is currently only offered on the rear-wheel drive. This transmission has been updated with two more gears than the previous CLS models, which allows to engine to be able to better accelerate with a more open variety of speeds. The engine is a twin turbocharged V6, which produces 329 horsepower. Though this hasn’t yet been announced for sure, the new CLS is expected to retain a decent fuel economy at 243-122 grams per kilogram.

Its interior is upgraded with a new 9 inch screen display. One of its most valued safety features is that it contains a Collision Prevention Assist Plus, which causes automatic braking in case of danger of a collision. The material is made of a combination of materials never before used such as piano lacquer and silver chrome. Another noticeable new feature is the three-spoke steering wheel and new interior colors, such as red seats. It also automatically detects when something needs to be replaced or repaired and sends the report to the dealer.

Its current average overall retail price is over $72,000 though pricings still have yet to be announced for some of the CLS400 models.
