Mercedes-Benz CLS

The four-door coupe silhouette of the first CLS ushered in a new era of car design. And while it drove sleeker, more rakish shapes into the norm, the CLS remains out of the ordinary. Its design and engineering collaborate to offer a range of delights to its driver and four passengers —all while it draws admiring eyes wherever it goes. To be a Mercedes-Benz, the CLS must be more than a work of art.

The way its sharknose grille, twin-power-dome hood, and tense arch of a roofline come together, it’s understandable if you’re won over purely by the design of the third-generation CLS. The four-door coupe profile it pioneered has inspired an entire industry. But just as compelling are the innovations that await you beneath its alluring sheet metal: Advanced luxuries.

The original CLS opened a new era in the rich tradition of Mercedes-Benz coupes. For the first time, the seductively sleek styling and richly refined cabin were united with the convenience of four doors. It turned the tide of car design, as countless sedans emulated its sweeping shape.

The CLS cabin is an experience that’s at once singular and shared. The flowing sculpture of its dash, doors and console envelops you in visible artfulness and tangible craftsmanship.
