DESIGN
With its "four-door coupe" shape, the first CLS sparked a sleek new era in car design. With sporty AMG styling, an intriguing grille, 19-inch AMG wheels and LED lighting all standard, the 2023 CLS is in better shape than ever.
Five seats at the forefront of fashion.
A flowing sculpture of leather, wood and satin aluminum, the CLS cabin welcomes you to space and style. The roomy rear cabin offers seating for three. Heated front seats envelop you in artful design and advanced comfort.
A sensation for all your senses.
Rich leathers and woods entice you. So do 64 colours of LED ambient lighting, even in the dash vents. Available ENERGIZING Comfort orchestrates light, sound, climate and fragrance.
Technology with a human touch.
Smartphone-like Touch Controls let you swipe and select features and settings from the heated steering wheel. A central touchscreen and console touchpad offer additional, intuitive fingertip controls.
Part control room, part screening room.
Dual 12.3-inch screens are visually and functionally seamless: A multimedia touchscreen for navigation, entertainment and many comfort settings. And a digital instrument cluster with reconfigurable displays.
Celebrate a legacy
The new Legacy Edition adds functionally stylish details to your CLS: a sleek AMG rear spoiler, bold matte black 20-inch AMG wheels, illuminated door sills and a power rear sunshade.
PERFORMANCE
Innovative hybrid technology electrifies an exuberant 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 362-hp turbo inline-6 teams tradition with technology. It's electrified with a 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 can send torque to the wheels that can use it best. Light, efficient 4MATIC adds all-wheel driving confidence on slippery roads, heightens fun in dry corners, and even quickens takeoffs. Disclaimer[1]
Nine speeds with know-how.
With nine speeds and shift paddles, the advanced 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission is 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 can firm up in corners, relax to tame rough roads. Optional self-leveling AIR BODY CONTROL adapts to roads, loads, and the modes of DYNAMIC SELECT.
INNOVATION
A trendsetter in style, the CLS has long been a leader in innovation as well. Industry-advancing driver assists and a virtual voice assistant can deliver intelligence with intuitive ease.
Say what you want: Your CLS responds.
"Hey, Mercedes, it's cold in here." "I need a coffee." The Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) lets you control many cabin features by talking. Among them is MB Augmented Reality Navigation, which can overlay instructions on live video of a turn. Disclaimer[2]
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. Disclaimer[3] Disclaimer[4]
Insightful, and in sight.
Virtual instruments "float" over the hood in a full-colour display of vital driving data. The available Head-Up Display can show driving speed, speed limits, navigation info and more while you stay focused on the road. Disclaimer[2] Disclaimer[5]
Protective, proactive and progressive.
Advanced options help de-stress driving: Tap a turn signal to change lanes. Adaptive cruise can help steer, stop-and-go in traffic, even slow for exits. Safety sensors can prepare for an impact before it reaches you. Disclaimer[6]
More brilliant by degrees.
The CLS pioneered adaptive LED headlamps for all cars years ago. Available Active MULTIBEAM LED headlamps can adapt to corners and other cars.
